Oxford Movement

The Oxford Movement (English: Oxford movement) arose within the Church of England in 1830 as an attempt to bring the Anglican Catholic underlying principles and early church orientations increasingly ces ( Anglo Catholicism ).

The actual birth was the sermon " National Apostasy ," which John Keble had held in the University Church of St Mary the Virgin on 14 July 1833. The motion was carried by John Keble, John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey, who taught at Oxford. Another prominent member of the movement was Frederick William Faber, who was as Newman Catholic priest and Oratorian. According to published by Newman since 1833 " Tracts for the Time" these protagonists were also called Tractarians.

The doctrine was condemned by the Anglican hierarchy, as the ecclesiastical legitimacy of Anglicanism has been questioned. Newman converted to Catholicism in 1845. His autobiography, " Apologia " (1864 ) tells the story of the Oxford Movement. From the movement, the " High Church " direction of the Anglican Church developed with effects on liturgical- theological field, in contrast to the Protestant "Low Church " direction.
