Description: This chapter covers similar ground but from a different starting point: it too is concerned with the legacies of the past but looks in particular at territory, politics and institutions. A noteworthy fact about religious history in England is the absence of a political split which coincided with a major religious division. Instead the interactions between religious traditions and a wide variety of economic and political variables are multiple. Establishment does not mean that the Church of England is identified with the state. It does, however, signify a special relationship between that Church and the political order at least in its English forms. In Wales, the situation is different again. As in Scotland there is a dissenting or Protestant culture but there is no national church. In Northern Ireland, conservative Protestant values have occupied a preeminent place in the political arena for most of the twentieth century.
