Anglo-Catholicism

Anglo-Catholicism is a tradition within the Anglican Church that emphasizes continuity with Catholic teachings, liturgy, and spiritual practices. It affirms beliefs such as the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, reverent worship, and a historic priesthood, resembling Roman Catholic practices. While remaining part of the Protestant Anglican tradition, Anglo-Catholics often prioritize liturgical beauty, sacraments, and a sense of sacred tradition, seeking to balance Reformation principles with a rich, sacramental spirituality. This approach fosters a sense of connection to the historic church and emphasizes the importance of worship and doctrine in daily life.
