Oxford Movement
|
|
The earliest and most vigorous expression of *Anglo-Catholicism, so named because its leading figures – John Henry *Newman, John *Keble and Edward Pusey (1800–82) – were fellows of Oriel College, Oxford. Adherents were also known as Puseyites or Tractarians, the latter because they published their views in a series of Tracts for the Times (1833–41). The series ended when no. 90, by Newman, caused an outcry with its argument that the *Thirty-nine Articles were compatible with Roman Catholic doctrine. The movement's influence was seen in increased ritual, ornately decorated Victorian churches and the establishment of Anglican monastic communities.
