While discussion naturally covers a broad range of themes, members of the moderation team (including those participating in the thread), may occasionally gently suggest that some topics might be best taken to a separate thread; this will usually only occur when a subject is itself the subject of recurring separate NSG threads.
Potentially unfinished business from the third version:

The Hussites have since evolved into what is today know as the Moravian Chuch. Like most Protestant groups, their are organized by nation rather than having a central structure, so it's hard to get a solid picture of their ecumenical relations. However, they tend to cooperate well with the Lutheran and Anglican Churches, as the three are very similar theologically. The three have been on a trend toward full communion for decades.

Are we talking about the Anglican Church of England, or Catholic Archdiocese in England? The Catholic Archdiocese holds back to the 500's but Celtic Christianiy existed as early as the first century. The Anglican Church of England is founded byHornyHenry VIII
On that one.... Albicia was presumably wryly referencing Blake's Jerusalem, Tarsonis. Which of course begins:
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
