Oxford Movement''For the 20th century "Oxford Movement" or "Oxford Group" see Moral Rearmament'' ---- The Oxford Movement was a loose affiliation of High Church Anglicans, most of them members of the University of Oxford, who sought to demonstrate that the Church of England was a direct descendant of the Christianity church established by the Apostles. It was also known as the ''Tractarian Movement'' after its series of publications, ''Tracts for the Times'' (1833–1841); the Tractarians were also called Puseyites (usually disparagingly) after one of their leaders, Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew language at Christ Church College, Oxford. Another important leader was John Henry Newman, a fellow of Oriel College, Oxford and vicar of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in Oxford, who had been strongly influenced by a sermon by John Keble in 1833 criticizing the increasing secularization of the Church of England. Other prominent Tractarians were John Keble, Thomas Keble, Archdeacon Henry Edward Manning, Richard Hurrell Froude and Robert Wilberforce. In the ninetieth and final ''Tract'', Newman argued that the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, as defined by the Council of Trent, were compatible with the Thirty-Nine Articles of the sixteenth-century Church of England. The Movement ended when Newman, driven further than he had expected by his own arguments, converted to Roman Catholicism in 1845, to be followed by Manning in 1851. Anglo-Catholicism, which owes its revival to the Oxford Movement, has had a massive influence on global Anglicanism which continues to this day. == External links == * [http://justus.anglican.org/resources/pc/tracts/ ''Tracts for the Times''] History of Oxfordshire University of Oxford Anglicanism Catholics not in communion with Rome Religion in the United Kingdom See other meanings of words starting from letter: OOA | OB | OC | OD | OE | OF | OG | OH | OI | OJ | OK | OL | OM | ON | OP | OR | OS | OT | OU | OW | OX | OY | OZ |Words begining with Oxford_Movement: Oxford_Movement |
