	High church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"High Church" is a term that may now be used in speaking of viewpoints within a number of denominations of Protestant Christianity in general, but it is one which has traditionally been employed in Churches associated with the Anglican tradition in particular.
		In the 17th century, the term "High Church" was a used to describe those divines and laity who placed a "high" emphasis on complete adherence to the Established Church position, including some elements that involved ritual or liturgical practice inherited from the Early Church or Undivided Church.
		From the mid-19th century onward, the term "High Church" came to refer increasingly to an avowedly Anglo-Catholic liturgical and exclusivist or even triumphalist position within the English Church, while the remaining Latitudinarians were referred to as being Broad Church, and the re-emergent Evangelical party was dubbed Low Church.

		Supporters of the "high church" stance emphasize that it has to do with holiness, sanctity, and respect for God, Jesus, and the Church itself, and that it is "catholic" primarily in its attempt to be "universal", not that it is solely an attempt to ally with Rome and reject Protestantism.
		Today, the primary source of separation between high church Anglo-Catholicism and the Roman Catholic Church itself is the liberal attitude taken by many in the Anglican communion regarding issues which to the Catholic Church are still anathema, such as the ordination of women, and, increasingly, the calls for the acceptance and ordination of homosexuals.
		By the 19th century, "high church" referred exclusively to the avowedly Anglo-Catholic position in the English church, while the latitudinarians were referred to as Broad church, and the emergent Evangelical movement was dubbed Low church.

	The High Church Schism, by JWC Wand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Church and Incarnation go so obviously together that even in the eighteenth century it seemed an intolerable paradox that a highly paid official of the Church should be found arguing against the very basis of the Church’s existence.
		So much of their life is inevitably spent in caring for the machinery of Church organization; they are so much taken up with matters of Church attendance and preparation for and ministration of the sacraments that it is possible for their vitality to be dissipated in the neverending round of routine.
		In his emphasis on Church and sacraments he was a precursor of the Tractarians, but he differed from them in appealing less to authority than to the Light within.

	The Religious Climate of Victorian England
		Since funding for the High Church came from wealthy, high-class contributors, those individuals that actually paid for the building of these beautiful cathedrals were able to secure reserved pews for their families.
		The Church of England predominately catered to the high-class and the middle-class aligned with the dissenters.
		The reason that the Church was unaware of the seating shortage for so long was probably due to the fact that no one was beating down the church doors to be part of their caste system.

		High Churchmen had an intense dislike for this decision; they were afraid that unliturgical services would succeed in ousting the liturgy.] But this uniformity did not mean that the Church was tied to the 1662 Prayer Book till Parliament decided to sanction changes, or that the liturgy could not develop and expand.
		The liturgists and High Churchmen in general had not much interest in hymns; the only collections of any size in popular use, which they knew, were the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins, dating from 1562, and the Evangelical hymnals, beginning with John Wesley’s collection in 1737.
		To the liturgists uniformity was the safeguard necessary for the continued existence of the liturgy in England as the prayer of the Church; it ensured that clergy and laity alike were nourished on the riches of liturgical worship, a worship which is a sine qua non of the Christian life.

	The Difference Between Low Church and High Church
		From Webster's Dictionary: "Low Church (1710) tending esp. in Anglican worship to minimize emphasis on the priesthood, sacraments, and the ceremonial in worship and often to emphasize evangelical principles." By contrast: "High Church (1687) tending esp. in Anglican worship to stress the sacerdotal [priestly], liturgical, ceremonial, traditional, and Catholic elements in worship."
		John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist tradition, was sometimes accused by his detractors of being "low church" because of his field preaching and training of lay-preachers outside the confines of normal church structure and structures.
		Low Church attitudes, especially among American evangelicals, are often suspicious of structured worship, including emphasis on the sacraments and observance of rituals such as the Seasons of the Church Year.

	Restoration Quarterly (The High Church Roots of John Wesley's Appeal to Primitive Christianity) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One instance of Wesley's use of the expression "Primitive Church" is especially significant in that it was written in 1784, in the twilight of Wesley's life.
		This early acquaintance with the High Church tradition in the form of the Non-Jurors further establishes and strengthens the connection between Wesley's desire for restitution of the ancient church and that High Church part of Anglicanism which had made this so central a theme.
		In fact, with Samuel Wesley's High Churchism and his role in the Religious Societies movement, and with Susanna's High Churchism and status as a Non-Juror, it would be surprising if High Church primitivism was not a frequent topic of study and discussion in the Wesley home.

		But the Church of England actually owed its separate existence to the rejection of the Papacy, and that rejection had been just as much an act of the realm as of the Church.
		Nevertheless by isolating the men of strongest Church principles and allowing them to withdraw from the Church of the country, they were laying the whole field open for William’s scheme of latitudinarian comprehension.
		The Church point was the alleged illegality of depriving bishops of their sees by an Act of Parliament without recourse to any ecclesiastical synod.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Low Church
		The name given to one of the three parties or doctrinal tendencies that prevail in the Established Church of England and its daughter Churches, the correlatives being High Church and Broad Church.
		The High Churchmen, in theory at least, emphasize the principle of church authority as the final court of doctrinal appeal; whilst the Low Churchmen appeal rather to the Bible, privately interpreted, as the decisive judge.
		The High Churchmen exalt ecclesiastical tradition as the voice of church authority, regard the Holy Eucharist as in some sense a sacrifice and the sacraments as efficacious channels of grace, and they insist on rites and ceremonies as the appropriate expression of external worship.

		As terrible as church leaders' actions may be, he says, "Indifference is not enough" to convict them.

	High Church: Tractarianism
		There were exactly 90 Tracts, the majority written by Newman, arguing in general that the truth of the doctrines of the Church of England rested on the modern church's position as the direct descendant of the church established by the Apostles.
		Pretty obviously, such an argument was a conservative answer to the various contemporary challenges to the authority of religion in general, Christianity in particular, and specifically Anglicanism Catholicism, fueled by the same need for reassurance as was the Evangelical revival.
		The Ecclesiological movement, which wanted more ritual and religious decoration in churches and which closely associated with the Gothic Revival, was a natural partner to Tractarianism, for both movements looked back to the Middle Ages as a time when the Church met the needs of its parishioners both religiously and aesthetically.
