High Church
 
['haɪ 'tʃəːtʃ], die hochkirchliche Bewegung innerhalb der Kirche von England, die die katholische Tradition bewahren und erneuern will. Bis zum Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts in wechselnder Stärke, erlangte im 19. Jahrhundert in der Oxfordbewegung ihre bedeutendste Ausprägung. Heute v. a. durch den theologisch konservativen Teil der Geistlichen getragen, ist sie in ihrer Bedeutung innerhalb der Kirche von England hinter die evangelikal ausgerichtete und stark sozial engagierte Low Church zurückgetreten.
