A revised and enlarged edition of the most powerful and polemical
critique of the Anglo-Catholicism movement. This penetrating and
highly readable study has established itself over the years as the
standard text on the subject. Rising in the wake of the Oxford
Movement, Anglo-Catholicism can be seen as an attempt to
catholicise the Church of England - to see its doctrines as
reflecting historic Christendom and bringing its services into line
with Catholic tradition. Early followers were persecuted, but
became famous for their work and for breaking down the social
divisions associated with the Church. The Anglo-Catholic Movement
indelibly changed the ethos of Anglicanism with the foundation of
religious orders, overseas missions, theological colleges and
public schools, promoting new social doctrines often associated
with socialist ideas. 'Anglo-Catholicism' traces the movement from
the origins to the heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. It is the first
study which analyses it from the sociological point of view. The
book concentrates in the interwar period and the decline of the
movement to the present time, showing now the ambiguities and
tensions originated and the way they have been dealt with over the
years. This revised edition contains a new chapter examining the
impact of women's ordination to priesthood on the movement. Dr
William S. F. Pickering has been an Anglican priest since 1950. He
was for twenty years a lecturer in Sociology at the University of
Newcastle upon Tyne. He is currently the General Secretary of the
British Centre for Durkheimian Studies, at Oxford University.
