Savoy Conference Totally Explained

Everything about The Savoy Conference totally explained

The Savoy Conference of 1661 was a significant liturgical discussion that took place, after the Restoration of Charles II, in an attempt to effect a reconciliation within the Church of England. It was convened by Gilbert Sheldon, in his lodgings at the Savoy Hospital in London.
It was attended by 12 Anglican bishops, and 12 representative ministers of the Puritan and Presbyterian factions. The object was to revise the Book of Common Prayer. Richard Baxter for the Presbyterian side presented a new liturgy, but this wasn't accepted. Shortly afterwards the Anglican church split, with the dissenting Nonconformists largely leaving.
In 1662 the Act of Uniformity followed.
