Ritualism[edit]

Missing from both this article and the one on Anglo-Catholocism (to which High Church Redirects) is any discussion of the manifestation of high and low theology in vestments, liturgy and decoration of the worship space.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.78.77.2 (talk • contribs) 15:18, July 29, 2004

Merge[edit]

I have merged the article Low Churchman into this one. aliceinlampyland 15:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Low Church and Roman Catholic Church[edit]

The article could maybe find room for discussion about Low Church theological currents within non-Evangelical and non-Anglican Christianity. Since the Second Vatican Council and the constitution Dei Verbum, the Church has made a good deal of room for the study of the Scriptures, to the point where many Churchmen could at least in theory be called Low Churchmen. There is a good amount of information already in the article Evangelical Catholic. Similar comparisons could also be made with the Eastern Orthodox. While in practice these liturgical Churches are known for their high degree of ritualism, the High Church sensibility is not always required among all the clergy and laity.

Dubious assertion[edit]

"More traditional low church Anglicans, under the influence of Calvinist or Reformed thought inherited from the Reformation era, reject the doctrine that the sacraments confer grace ex opere operato (e.g. baptismal regeneration) and lay stress on the Bible as the ultimate source of authority in matters of faith necessary for salvation. "

Is this correct ? "Down-playing" or "de-emphasising" particular aspects of the doctrine is not the same as "rejecting".Eregli bob (talk) 11:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
