See also:LOW CHURCHMAN , a See also:term applied to members of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church of See also:England or its daughter churches who, while accepting the hierarchical and sacramental See also:system of the Church, do not consider See also:episcopacy as essential to the constitution of the Church, reject the See also:doctrine that the sacraments confer See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace ex opere operato (e.g. baptismal regeneration) and See also:lay stress on the See also:Bible as the See also:sole source of authority in matters of faith. They thus differ little from orthodox Protestants of other denominations, and in See also:general are prepared to co-operate with them on equal terms.
The name was used in the See also:early See also:part of the 18th See also:century as the See also:equivalent of " Latitudinarian," i.e. one who was prepared to concede much See also:latitude in matters of discipline and faith, in contradistinction to " High Churchman," the term applied to those who took a high view of the exclusive authority of the Established Church, of episcopacy and of the sacramental system. It subsequently See also:fell into disuse, but was revived in the 19th century when the Tractarian See also:movement had brought the term " High Churchman " into See also:vogue again in a modified sense, i.e. for those who exalted the See also:idea of the See also:Catholic Church and the sacramental system at the expense both of the See also:Establishment and of the exclusive authority of Scripture. " Low Churchman " now became the equivalent of " Evangelical," the designation of the movement, associated with the name of See also:Simeon, which laid the See also:chief stress on the See also:necessity of See also:personal " See also:conversion." " Latitudinarian " gave See also:place at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to " Broad Churchman," to designate those who lay stress on the ethical teaching of the Church and minimize the value of orthodoxy. The revival of pre-See also:Reformation See also:ritual by many of the High Church See also:clergy led to the designation " ritualist " being applied to them in a some-what contemptuous sense; and " High Churchman " and " Ritualist " have often been wrongly treated as convertible terms. Actually many High Churchmen are not Ritualists, though they tend to become so. The High Churchman of the " Catholic " type is further differentiated from the " old-fashioned High Churchman " of what is sometimes described as the " high and dry " type of the See also:period anterior to the See also:- OXFORD
