High Church
|
The term "High Church" refers to beliefs and practices of ecclesiology, liturgy and theology, generally with an emphasis on formality, and resistance to "modernization." Although used in connection with various Christian traditions, the term has traditionally been principally associated with the Anglican tradition. The term is often used to describe Anglican churches using a number of ritual practices associated in the popular mind with Roman Catholicism. Supporters of "High Church" positions emphasise that these practices have to do with holiness, sanctity and respect for God, Jesus, and the church as the Body of Christ. As such they espouse a position that the church as an organisation and the congregation at worship is "catholic" primarily in the sense that it is joined through its ritual to the "universal" church, and so they use the terms "High Church" and "Anglo-Catholic".
