This book discusses the different understandings of 'catholicity'
that emerged in the interactions between the Church of England and
other churches - particularly the Roman Catholic Church and later
the Old Catholic Churches - from the early 1830s to the early
1880s. It presents a pre-history of ecumenism, which isolates some
of the most distinctive features of the ecclesiological positions
of the different churches as these developed through the turmoil of
the nineteenth century. It explores the historical imagination of a
range of churchmen and theologians, who sought to reconstruct their
churches through an encounter with the past whose relevance for the
construction of identity in the present went unquestioned. The past
was no foreign country but instead provided solutions to the
perceived dangers facing the church of the present. Key
protagonists are John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey, the
leaders of the Oxford Movement, as well as a number of other less
well-known figures who made their distinctive mark on the relations
between the churches. The key event in reshaping the terms of the
debates between the churches was the Vatican Council of 1870, which
put an end to serious dialogue for a very long period, but which
opened up new avenues for the Church of England and other non-Roman
European churches including the Orthodox. In the end, however,
ecumenism was halted in the 1880s by an increasingly complex
European situation and an energetic expansion of the British
Empire, which saw the rise of Pan-Anglicanism at the expense of
ecumenism.
