The "church of england" was never a real religion. It was a facile workaround created by Henry VIII as Pope Clement refused to give an annulment to his marriage to Catheryn of Aragon (she could not provide a male heir).
So instead, Henry broke from the Roman Catholic Church, created his own "church" which would grant an anullment to Catherine and allow Henry to marry Anne Boleyn.
