may 24, 1689 - Toleration Act 1689

Description:

A law passed by Parliament granting freedom to worship to Protestant nonconformists (those who didn't conform to the Church of England) provided they take the Oath of Allegiance (in which one swears loyalty to the monarchy) and the Oath of Supremacy (in which one swears that the reigning monarch is the supreme leader of the Church of England). Furthermore, they had to reject the teachings of transubstantiation, the belief of the Roman Catholic Church that the substance offered in the sacrifice of the sacrament during the Mass become the body and blood of Christ. The law did not include nontrinitarians (those that do not believe God is composed of the Holy Trinity), as well as Roman Catholics.
