The Church of England is the main state church in the country, considered the original church of the Anglican communion, representing over 85 million people in more than 165 countries. In the early 1800s Coleridge return to that church and composed most of his significant religious works during that period of time. For him, praying was the best way to express what the human heart can’t say. In the story, the Mariner can’t connect to god until some point, and Coleridge depicted this as horrifying, the mariner had to go through some understanding and experiences to be able to talk with God. Also, the Albatross symbolizes a Christlike figure. It is beyond man-kind comprehension, and every time somebody tried to classify it something bad would happen.
