"LOWCHURCH"AND "EVANGELICAL"ANGLICANS

PUZZLED,SYDNEY:Ina

Recentissueofthe"NaRan,"anAnglicanwriter saidmanypeopledonot knowthedifferencebetween"LowChurch"and "Evangelical"inthe ChurchofEngland.Imust confessIdonot.

R.:Tomaintainadifferenceaccordingtocurrent usageisreallyaquibble. ManyAnglicanwriters themselvestodayspeakof theEvangelicalpartyinthe ChurchofEnglandbeing "LowChurchinoutlookas contrastedwithAngloCatholicswhospeakof themselvesas"High Church."HighChurchmen ingeneralstresstheauthorityoftheChurchandthe claimsofbishops,priests, ritualandsacraments,while LowChurchmenstressmore theProtestantideasof Bible-reading,privatejudgment,theministryof preaching,attachingmore importancetothepulpit thantothealtar,andholdingtoMethodistdoctrines ofpersonalconversionand salvationbyfaithonly.

THETERM "EVANGELICAL"

Q.:Howdidthename "Evangelical"arise?

R.:Itisaquestion-beggingterm,ofcourse.In itself,itmeansafollower oftheGospels,andthesuggestionis'thatthosenot labelledas"Evangelicals" arenotfollowersofthe Gospels.Thetermisof Lutheranorigin.TheProtestantreformersofthe16th centuryclaimedthatinrejectingtheteachingand anthorityoftheCatholic Churchtheyweregoing "backtotheGospels."John Calvincalledhisnew Churchthe"Reformed Church,"butinGermany theLutheranscalledtheirs the"EvangelicalChurch." ThisLutherantermfound itswaytoEnglandandwas adoptedbythoseAnglicans whostoodfortheProtestant asopposedtotheCatholic interpretationofAnglicanism.

THE"LOWCHURCH"

NICKNAME

Q.:Howdidtheterm"Low Church"arise?

R.Itaroseoriginallyin

the17thcenturyandatfirst wasusedofthoseknownas Latitudinarians,theforerunnersofthe"Broad Church"party.Thesesat verylooselytoideasof ecclesiasticalorganisation, importanceofdogma,andof liturgicalworship.From theirrankscamethenationalist,worldly,port-drinking andfox-huntingclergy,more interestedinsociallifethan religiousduties.Against these"LowChurchmen" boththe"Evangelicals"with theirreligiousenthusiasm inspiredbytheMethodists, andthe"HighChurchmen" oftheOxfordMovement protested.SydneySmith (1771-1845),a"LowChurch" exponentinhisday,opposed boththeEvangelicalsand the"HighChurch"Oxford Movementmen.Inhis colourfulstylehespokeof "thenastyandnumerous verminofMethodism"and "thepragmatical,perpendicular,Puseyiteprigs."But astimewentonandthe Evangelicalsattackedthe "HighChurch"Catholic tendencies,theEvangelicals becameknownasthe"Low Church"partyintheChurch ofEngland,adescription stillsurvivinginordinary usagetoday.

ANTI-CATHOLIC OUTLOOK

04AreEvangelicalsantiCatholic?

R.:Yes.The"OxfordDictionaryofTheChristian Church,"anAnglicanwork publishedin1957,saysthat intheiroutlooktheyapproximatetoProtestant Nonconformists.TheyprofessbeliefinthesoleauthorityoftheBible,minimise liturgicalworship,rejectthe doctrinesofbaptismalregenerationandoftheEucharisticsacrifice,andarecharacterisedbyastrongsuspicionofandhostilitytowards theRomanCatholicChurch. CanonLiddon,ofSt.Paul's London,oncesaidofthe EvangelicalsorLowChurch AnglicansthatincelebratingtheHOlyCommunion "theydonotsupposethemselvestobedoinganything moreseriousthantakinga littlebreadandwinein public,inmemoryofanabsentChrist."Naturallythey regardtheCatholicideaof theEucharistasidolatrous.

Shewasthedaughterof oneofthekingsofHungary, butwhenshewasonlyfour thepowerfulrulerofThuringiaaskedherfatherifshe mightbebroughtupathis court,whichatthattime wasthetwistbrilliantin Europe,and,whenshegrew up,marryhisson.

So,whenshewasjusta child,Elizabethwenttolive insplendourinthegreat castleoftheWartburg, amongthepoetsandthe "Minnesingers,"whomthe Kinglikedtohavearound him.Theprincewhomone dayshewastomarry,whose namewasLudwig,wasonly aboyofnine,andfromthe firstmomenttheymetthe childenbecamethedearest offriends.

Theywremarriedwhen Elizabethwas15andLudwig20,intheyearthatthe oldrulerdiedandLudwig becameKinginhisplace.

Duringhergirlhood, Elizabethwassodevotedto religionthatshewassometimeslaughedatbythe moreworldlypeopleat court.Onedaytherewasa

ButElizabeth,intears, answered:"Dearlady mother,pleasedonotscold me.HereIseeJesus,Who diedforme,wearingHis crownofthorns.HowcanI wearinHispresencethis crownofgoldandgems? Mycrownseemsamockery ofHis!"

WhenElizabethherself becameQueen,herhusband wascalledawaytoattend theEmperoronajourney toItaly,andthatyearterriblestormsandfloods, causingfamineandplagues, burstonThuringia.Each dayacertainquantityof breadwasbaked,andshe herselfserveditoutamong thepoorwhocametothe gatesoftheWartburg,givingthemalltheirjustshare.

Inthisway,bywhattodayweshouldcall"rationing,"shemanagedtosee thatnooneactuallystarved, andwhentheautumndame shesentthepeopleintothe harvestfieldswithscythes andsicklesandtoeveryman shegaveashirtandapair ofshoes.

Thenthesadnewsarrived attheWartburg,Elizabeth cried:"Nowalltheworld anditsjoysaredeadtome!" andfaintedfromgrief.

TheRev.Dr.JohnC Bennettdeclaredthat"their viewofthecoldwarwill almostcertainlyleadto hotwarandtothenuclear catastrophe'whichwill addtothevictimsoftyrannyscoresandperhapshundredsofmillionsofnewvictimsofwar."

Headded: "Wheneverpeoplesayto me'Givemelibertyorgive medeath'andfromthese noblewordsdeduceacold warpolicythatislikelyto leadtoanuclearcatastrophe,Isay:'Ifsuchawar shouldcome,libertywillprobablynotsurvive,andasfor death,itisnotonlyyour araththatisinvolved,but thedeathofcountlesspeople whonevermade this choice.'"
