单词 | low churchman |
释义 | Low Churchmann. A member of the Anglican communion who gives relatively little emphasis to ritual, sacraments, and the authority of the clergy; a member of the Low Church.This term was used in the Churches of England and Ireland in the early part of the 18th cent. as an equivalent to latitudinarian n. Afterwards it fell into disuse, but was revived in the mid 19th cent., when the designation High Churchman n. 1 obtained a new currency as applied to those Anglicans who inclined to the theology and ritual of pre-Reformation times, particularly the Tractarians (see tract n.1 3b). In this later use, Low Churchman has often been viewed as equivalent to evangelical adj. 2b, and has rarely been applied to members of the Broad Church (see Broad Church n. 1).
