What is Anglo-Catholicism?
Anglo-Catholicism is a tradition within the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion grounded in Catholic worship, theology, and practices. The term “Anglo-Catholic” was first used in the 19th century to identify Anglicans who were interested in the teachings of the Oxford Movement. Teachings rooted in a recovery of the beauty of church worship, the importance of apostolic ministry and the sacraments, and the pursuit of holiness.
