m Changed "Prayer to the Saints" to "Roman view of... the invocation of saints" in order to distinguish it from both comprecation and advocation/ non-romish invocation and reflect to a greater extent the original wording of the 39 articles. |

High Church or High churchmanship within Anglicanism (as well as Lutheranism and other traditions of Christianity) is a church party that emphasizes a high view of the importance of the sacraments, church tradition, and the importance or even necessity of episcopal polity. This faction is generally opposed to Low Church, Evangelical Churchmanship, and Latitudinarian factions within the Anglican Communion.
Old High Church
Prior to the Tractarian movement, the earlier High Churchmen were more Protestant to varying degrees. Notable Old High Church bishops were: John Cosin, William Laud, Samuel Seabury, and E.H. Browne.
This faction, sometimes called "Laudians" still remained within the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion and rejected the practices condemned therein such as the Roman views of the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Invocation of Saints. They had a high view of Baptism, as well as of Christ's Presence in the Eucharist and insisted on the preservation of the practice of kneeling to receive communion. In this way they were very similar to the Lutherans.
Anglo-Catholicism
During the Victorian Era, the Oxford Movement began a strain of High Churchmanship that was somewhat in continuity with older High Churchmanship, and in other ways unique in its orientation. Notable Anglo-Catholic theologians include: John Henry Newman, E.B. Pusey, and John Keble. The Oxford Movement would eventually develop into Ritualism, which would begin to downplay or even explicitly reject the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, and for the development of rituals for worship more like the Pre-Reformation Church of England.
