	Oxford Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oxford Movement was a loose affiliation of High Church Anglicans, most of them members of the University of Oxford, who sought to demonstrate that the Church of England was a direct descendant of the Christian church established by the Apostles.
		It was also known as the Tractarian Movement after its series of publications, Tracts for the Times (1833–1841); the Tractarians were also called Puseyites (usually disparagingly) after one of their leaders, Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Christ Church, Oxford.
		The immediate impetus for the Movement was the secularisation of the Church, focused particularly on the decision by the Government to reduce by ten the number of Irish bishoprics in the Church of Ireland following the 1832 Reform Act.

	The Oxford Movement (1833-1845)
		The movement, therefore, started, not on Roman ground, but in a panic provoked by the alliance of O Connell with the Whigs, of Dissenters with Benthamites, intent on destroying all religious establishments.
		It was given in 1834 and 1835 by the accession to the movement of E.B. Pusey, Canon of Christ Church and Hebrew professor.
		Surveying the movement as a whole we perceive that it was part of the general Christian uprising which the French Revolution called forth.

	AN AMBIGUOUS LEGACY
		Tractarianism did not at first have much to do with liturgy but with the recovery of the theological roots of the ancient faith, not only the biblical Christianity to which evangelicals were faithful but the Church Fathers as well.
		It was a doctrinal movement primarily, concerned with the authentic apostolic faith and with the bases for distinguishing orthodoxy from heresy.
		Indeed, so successful was the movement that by the 1920's some of its adherents were freely predicting that the entire communion would in time adopt their principles, and some were even bold enough to talk of corporate reunion with Rome.

		The Oxford Movement preached that the Church had its independent, spiritual status, was in direct descent from the medieval Catholic Church, and represented a `middle way' between post-Reformation Catholicism and Protestantism.
		The movement's propaganda was conducted through tracts, many of them by John Newman, and culminated in Tract XC which asserted that the Thirty-Nine Articles, on which Anglican doctrine is based, are compatible with Roman Catholic doctrine.
		An indirect result of the movement was to focus attention on the medieval background of the Church, and to encourage that reification of the Middle Ages which emerged in much victorian literature, in the artistic movement known as Pre-Raphaelitism and in Victorian neo-Gothic architecture.

	The Tractarian Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Thus the Evangelicals were natural allies of the Tractarian movement, although by the time the Tracts began appearing in 1833, the Clapham generation was either dead or soon to be dead, and their successors were not as promising as colleagues.
		Liddon portrayed the Tractarians as being concerned about the penetration into the Church of liberalism; they believed that the only defense against it was through the appropriation of aspects of the Church's traditions that the Evangelicals were content to ignore.
		Such an undulating and fuzzy border between the two movements was natural, when it is considered that the main preoccupations of the Tractarians were not in the externals, as their accusers often charged, but in the inner religion of the heart — which is what the Evangelicals always emphasized.

	The Convergence Movement
		Described as the Convergence Movement, or "Convergence of the Streams," this emerging movement appears to many, both observers and participants, to be another contemporary evidence of God's continuing activity in history to renew, replenish and unify His people in one heart and purpose in Christ.
		While not associated with the official Ecumenical Movement of the World Council of Churches, those involved in CM seem broadly gripped by the hunger and desire to learn from traditions of worship and spirituality other than their own and to integrate these discoveries into their own practice and experience in the journey of faith.
		Indeed, many leaders in the fledgling movement describe their experience as a compelling "journey" or "pilgrimage." Many times, in very unsought-after ways, "sovereign" events, relationships, books or insights gave rise to an understanding of the church that was quite different from their previous perspectives and backgrounds.

	Newman Reader - Hutton, Cardinal Newman - Chapter 4
		Indeed, they went further, and urged that probably the speculative difficulties in which the evidence of some parts of religion is involved, is a providential part of some persons’ trial, and the only sort of trial which would really provide them with the proper materials for the discipline of their own character.
		The Tractarians lived more like a colony of immigrants amongst a people of different language and customs, than like a band of patriots who were reviving the old glories of their native country.
		Thus the very core of the Tractarian movement was a precautionary creed for which the leaders felt {57} that the evidence was doubtful, but which they held to be more likely than not, and in any case to be an ecclesiastical “working hypothesis” on which it was their duty to act.

		Deeply interested by the Oxford Movement, he founded at Valle Crucis in North Carolina a religious community, called the "Brotherhood of the Holy Cross".
		So warm was the advocacy of the Oxford theories by Bishop Ives that he was arraigned for them before the convention of the Episcopal Church.

		In contrast, Keble, Pusey, and the other Tractarians held that since the Christian religion was superior to government, secular powers had no right to interfere in spiritual matters whatever the cause.
		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.
		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.

		The Tractarians defended what is sometimes called High Anglicanism, or High Churchmanship, which involves emphasis on the continuity of the Anglican Church from earliest times (in the third century or earlier) through the sixteenth century, and down to the present.
		It was taken as proof that the Tractarians were undercover agents for the Pope, dishonest men who cleverly twisted the words of creeds around to mean something quite different from their plain meaning.

	Ritualists
		Moreover, the conversion of Newman and other prominent Tractarians, while somewhat breaking up the party and arresting the progress of events at Oxford, had only transferred the movement to the parish churches throughout the country, where each incumbent was in a measure free to follow his own light and to act for himself.
		It could not of course be denied that the practices which the Tractarians were introducing had long been given up in the Church of England.
		The best materials for the history of the movement may be found in the Blue Books issued by the various royal commissions more especially the Report and the four accompanying volumes of minutes of evidence printed for the royal commission on ecclesiastical discipline in 1906.

	Island of Freedom - John Henry Newman
		A leader of the Oxford Movement and later a cardinal of the Roman Catholic church, John Henry Newman, outstanding religious thinker and essayist, was probably the most influential theologian of Victorian England.
		This movement within the Church of England was directed against the growth of theological liberalism and advocated the return to theology and ritual of the period following the Reformation.
		That final tract provoked a storm of opposition by its claim that the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, which incorporate the creed of the Reformed Church in England, are aimed primarily at the abuses and not the dogmas of Roman Catholicism.

		Not all of this larger movement was Tractarian but it has been easy to slip into the habit of assuming that Tractarianism was responsible for the renovations, writings and controversies generated by this larger cultural, literary, and architectural movement which swept through the nineteenth century, both in the United States and in Europe.
		Tractarianism was able to move the heart, speak to the soul, and convey a sense of the powerful presence of God that he thought would speak to the religious needs of North Carolinians.
		Tractarianism in America can be seen as an English theological import, convincing the minds and then the practices of American clergy and congregations, or, alternately, it can be interpreted in terms of a much more complicated American cultural and historical situation to which we apply the label, thus seemingly accounting for a stretch of history.

		In the beginning it was very much a clerical movement, the initial idea being to form a society of clergy centered on Oxford, but with branches spreading all over the country.
		What he thought was really needed was "a library on all subjects for the middle classes and the Clergy."23 In other words, he wanted the Movement to be propagated by every possible kind of writing, for the laity as well as the clergy, and for women and children as well as men.
		There are many today in the Church who see the various and diverse lay movements as a contemporary equivalent of the early monks or the medieval friars or the Jesuits of the Counter-Reformation, in both renewing the Church herself and in evangelizing the world.

		All that was best in Tractarianism came from him—its reality, its depth, its low estimate of externals, its keen sense of the importance of religion to the individual soul.

		It is a very impressive witness to the possibility of evoking very speedily into intensely vigorous life of a whole set of ideas or motives which seem to be negligible—overlaid and as good as dead—if there remain in the conscience of men something to which they must still make their appeal.
		And, though some few of the Tractarians were not Tories, yet the movement, at least till it went out into the towns in the form of Ritualism, was on the whole associated with the Tory party.
		Plainly the movement as a whole has not been and is not Romanizing, and almost all that is most learned and fair in our anti-Roman controversial writing has come from within the movement.
