What is the difference between Anglican Church and Anglican Catholic church?
Not much difference at all. Eucharist comes from the greek word meening "thanksgiving". It is based on the events that happened at the last supper. All christian groups perform this service except salvatioists and quakers.AnswerThere is a great deal of difference. The Anglican Church worldwide is a group of churches that all uphold the ethos of the Anglican Church and which are in communion with other Anglican Churches. In this group are the Church of England, many African Churches and the Episcopalians in the USA.The Anglican church is a very diverse group of churches ranging from evangelical charismatic worship that is reminiscent of Pentecostal churches at one end of the spectrum, through to more formal, liturgical worship at the other.The Anglican Catholic Church (or 'Anglo-Catholic Church) is that small branch of the Anglican Church that celebrates its roots in Catholicism and whose worship reflects those roots. Unlike the evangelical wing of the Anglican Church, the Anglo-Catholic group places more emphasis on sacramental worship and its style of worship is much more like the Roman Church with the use of ornate riitual and liturgy, including, as an example, the use of incense.In fact, the Anglo-Catholic wing is often almost indistinguishable from the Roman Catholic Church except that it refuses to accept the authority of the pope.This diversity is one of the great strengths of the Anglican Church in that the same denomination can hold a range of traditions in union and love.
I am aware that the Church of England claims apostolic succession. I would be interested in knowing from what lines the Church of England claims succession.?
According to both the Apostles' and Nicene creeds (which the Church of England hold as authoritative), the Church of England or Anglican Church believes and sees itself as part of the Apostolic church. This means that they see themselves as based on the authority and teaching of Jesus' appointed Apostles, which is now available in the 27 books of the New Testament. That is, the Anglican Church claims to be based upon the teaching of Jesus' Apostles. However, this is different to apostolic succession. Apostolic succession is the belief that the Bishop of Rome has been conferred the authority of the Apostles (and particularly the Apostle Peter who is traditionally held to be the first Bishop of Rome). This is something that that Church of England does not hold to or claim. Not only is the Bishop of Rome (we'd call him the Pope) not recognised as holding any office within the Church of England, the hierarchical heads of the Anglican Church are first the sovereign of England, currently HRH Elizabeth II, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently Dr. Rowan Williams. Further, this most senior 'church man' in the English Church is appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the Prime Minister of England. Especially under Dr. Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury holds little actual power, let alone that which could be construed as apostolic succession.
Do the Catholic church and the church of England have different views on the virgin Mary?
The Anglicans draw their teachings and beliefs from a slightly different source than say the Holy Roman Church and our magisterium is from a different source!. The Anglican faith stems from the teachings of Scripture and the Ecumenical Councils. Apart from the teachings available in the Prayer Book, we Hold that the Lady Mary is defined by the Council of Ephesus as the Theotokos, I.E. The Mother of God. The Second Council of Constantinople twice referred to Mary as Ever Virgin. Whilst the Seventh Ecumenical Council, Defined Mary as Spotless and Immaculate. These are are the beliefs of the Anglican Church regarding the Lady Mary. Note well. Immaculate is not referring to the Immaculate Conception of Mary!
Having beliefs different from those of the church are called?
In Christianity, these beliefs are called heresies, and those who hold them are called heretics. They are not pagans - pagans are not Christians at all - but Christians who have "gone off the rails" on an essential belief.
Compare and Contrast the catholic and Anglican Churches and explain why Puritans rejected both of them?
The Catholic and Anglican Church are quite similar, the main difference being that the Anglican Church allows divorce. Puritans felt both groups were too extravagant with their golden chalices, crucifixes and grandiose cathedrals. Rather, they felt Christians should live a pious, simple life, like that of Christ. They wanted to take away what they felt was an emphasis on the material world.Anglican Catholic Answer!Not to disagree to far with the above!The Catholic Church is the Body of Christ and is the groups of faithful united through their bishops in to that Body!It is wishful thinking to presume that the Holy Roman Church is that Body and the Bishop of Rome to be Christ's Viceroy on earth.It is these latter claims that the Puritans and even some Catholics objected to as they have basis in neither scripture or tradition!The Anglican Church is one of these groups that hold to the Catholic faith, being a Communion of faithful believers. The Orthodox Church is another such. They hold to Christ's revelation, Scripture and Councils, which is the faith of the first thousand years. Besides which they hold to the fulness of the Faith and the Catholic Councils.Why do Puritans reject them both? because they hold to Set Liturgies and believe that the Church is guided by bishops and the threefold ministry and that the Catholic Church is Body of Christ.
Is there a religion that holds the belief that you are your own god or are the master of your own destiny?

Were all religions welcome in colonial North Carolina?
The North Carolina colony initially tolerated all religions. However, once William III came to power, an allegiance to the Anglican Church became a requirement.

The Quakers refused to take the oath, and were forbidden from holding political office.
