To read The Oxford Handbook of the Oxford Movement more or less from cover to cover has been a hugely rewarding experience, even though I am no stranger to its subject matter – the history and writings of the movement that cam- paigned to revive a catholic theology, practice and sensibility within the Church of England in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. In engag- ing with this book I am, in a sense, coming home. John Keble’s parochial ministry, John Henry Newman’s epistemology and ecclesiology, and Edward Bouverie Pusey’s sacramental and ecumenical theology have been deeply for- mative for me. And that is the spirit (or ethos in Tractarian-speak, as James Pereiro has shown)1 in which I approach this estimable example of the Oxford Handbook genre. The Oxford (or Tractarian) Movement was a creative upsurge of theological, pastoral and liturgical renewal which lasted from its arresting beginning with John Keble’s Assize Sermon and the first Tracts for the Times in 1833 to John 1 James Pereiro, ‘Ethos’ and the Oxford Movement: At the Heart of Tractarianism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008). © paul avis, 2020 | doi:10.1163/17455316-01602007 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded License.

  • CORPORATE REUNION: a NINETEENTH- CENTURY DILEMMA VINCENT ALAN Mcclelland University of Hull
    CORPORATE REUNION: A NINETEENTH- CENTURY DILEMMA VINCENT ALAN McCLELLAND University of Hull EFORE THE ADVENT of the Oxford Movement in 1833 and before the B young converts George Spencer and Ambrose Phillipps had, shortly before his death, enlisted the powerful support and encouragement of the aristocratic Louis de Quelin, Archbishop of Paris,1 in the establishment in 1838 of an Association of Prayers for the Conversion of England, the matter of the reunion of a divided Christendom had greatly engaged the attention of Anglican divines. Indeed, as Brandreth in his study of the ecumenical ideals of the Oxford Movement has pointed out, "there is scarcely a generation [in the history of the Church of England] from the time of the Reformation to our own day which has not caught, whether perfectly or imperfectly, the vision of a united Christendom."2 The most learned of Jacobean divines, Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester under James I, regularly interceded "for the Universal Church, its confir­ mation and growth; for the Western Church, its restoration and pacifi­ cation; for the Church of Great Britain, the setting in order of the things that are wanting in it and the strengthening of the things that remain".3 In the anxiety to locate the needs of the national church within the context of the Church Universal, Andrewes was followed by a host of Carolingian divines and Settlement nonjurors, themselves the harbingers of that Anglo-Catholic spirit which gave life, albeit by means of a prolonged and painful Caesarian section, to the vibrant Tractarian quest for ecclesial justification.

  • The Oxford Movement
    THE OXFORD MOVEMENT Wonderful is the contrast between the condition of the Catholic Church today and its status a hundred years ago. When the nineteenth century was still young, most of the states­ men of Europe regarded the Holy See as the feeble remnant of a once great political power, while nearly all Protestants con­ sidered the Papacy as the work of the Antichrist, and therefore to be shunned like any other evil. Today, the Vatican is a most important factor in the world of diplomacy; and many prom­ inent sects are making friendly overtures for reunion. This reversal of feeling is due to many complex causes, but in the English-speaking world, nothing has done so much to effect it as that event which is known in the religious history of the last century, as the Oxford Movement. "The Oxford Movement" is the name given to the attempt made by a party of Anglican or Episcopal churchmen in the early nineteenth century to abolish all purely Protestant doctrine which had gradually corrupted the teachings of their Church ; to restore the Catholic faith in all its primitive purity as it was to be found in the works of the early Fathers of the Church, and finally, to free their Church from all state control. These men, with Newman at their head, looked upon the English Establish­ ment as "The lineal descendant of the Church of Gregory and Augustine, and through them, of the Church of the Apostles." Accordingly they strove to revive those doctrines which had been almost neglected by the Anglican divines of their day.

As a movement of thought it bespoke the concerns of nineteenth‐century thinkers with the challenge that historical awareness posed to the seeming certainties of the Christian faith. But just insofar as it looked to change Christian thought it bespoke a time to come, a future that had already arrived for some but which needed to arrive more securely and for all.

  • Newman, Conversion, and Ecumenism Avery Dulles, S.J
    Theological Studies 51 (1990) NEWMAN, CONVERSION, AND ECUMENISM AVERY DULLES, S.J. Fordham University HE CENTENARY of Cardinal Newman's death, on Aug. 11, 1890, has Toccasioned a large number of conferences and studies dealing with various aspects of his work. The present article is intended as a part of this commemoration. As one who came to the Catholic faith in adult life, Newman reflected long and deeply about his own religious pilgrimage and became the adviser of many companions and followers. He therefore deserves to be remembered as one of the great theologians of conversion. Because of his comprehensive vision of Christianity as a whole and his lifelong concern with overcoming Christian divisions, he has also been hailed as a forerunner of ecumenism.1 His observations on Christian unity in some respects anticipate the directions of the Second Vatican Council. But there was in his thinking a tension between the convert and the ecumenist, the apologist for Catholicism and the friendly observer of other Christian communions. His efforts to be faithful to his dual vocation as a convert and as an ecumenist make his thought particularly relevant today, when a number of distinguished ecumenists, without loss of their ecumenical commitment, have felt the call to enter into full communion with the Church of Rome. THE CONVERT Newman's conversion was slow, deliberate, and painful, but by no means halfhearted. For more than five years, from 1839 to 1845, he felt an increasing realization that the Church of England, to which he belonged, was not a part of the Catholic Church.

  • Newman on Infallibility Avery Dulles, S.J
    Theological Studies 51 (1990) NEWMAN ON INFALLIBILITY AVERY DULLES, S.J. Fordham University 70HN HENRY NEWMAN ran the gamut of practically all the positions tß on infallibility that are compatible with a sincere acceptance of a once-for-all revelation of God in Christ. In his Anglican days he attacked infallibility as the fundamental flaw of the Roman Catholic system. In his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, composed as he was transferring to the Roman allegiance, he answered his previous objections and argued for the necessity of an infallible teaching authority. In his Apologia pro vita sua, as a seasoned Catholic, he stoutly defended the principle of infallibility, with applications to the dogmatic teachings of Trent and the papal definition of the Immaculate Conception. But during Vatican Council I he nervously expressed his opposition to the proposed definition of papal infallibility. When the dogma was defined in 1870, he initially hesitated as to whether it was binding on Catholics. Soon, however, he overcame his doubts and became a leading apologist for the definition. At that stage he confined the dogma within narrow limits, glorying in his own minimalism. Several years later, in a new introduction to his original Anglican attack on infallibility, he maintained a surpris­ ingly broad theory, extending the pope's infallibility to matters not contained in the original deposit of revelation. In view of all these variations, theologians of almost every stripe can find support for their positions somewhere in the Newman corpus. In trying to present Newman's teaching on infallibility, one must take account of this complex history.

Through a series of case studies, including an examination of the role of religious controversy in fin-de-siècle Parliamentary politics, it shows that religious belief and practice were more important in turn-of-the-century Britain than has been appreciated. The argument that the onset of secularization in Britain as defined by both a decline in religious attendance and personal belief can be pushed back until at least the 1920s or 1930s is not new. Yet, the insight that religious belief and practice remained a constituent part of late-Victorian and Edwardian national identity and public life has thus far failed to penetrate political, social, and cultural histories of the period.
