High church
High church refers to Christian beliefs and practices of Christian ecclesiology, liturgy, and theology which emphasize "ritual, priestly authority, [and] sacraments," and a standard liturgy. Although used in connection with various Christian traditions such as high church Lutheranism, the English term high church originated in the Anglican tradition, where it described a churchmanship in the UK in which a number of ritual practices associated in the popular mind with so-called Popery were used, or as a description of such practices in the Catholic Church and elsewhere.
