These phrases have more concrete meaning outside of the US. Evangelicalism has always been a major component of Anglicanism outside the US, but it almost disappeared from the PEC from the early 19th century to the 1960's. It might also be helpful to recognize in the Episcopal Church that there were/are theologically conservative strains that aren't best described as evangelical or Anglo-Catholic, but just traditionalist and middle of the road in worship style.
In the US the terms High Church and Low Church almost exclusively refer to worship styles (though typically evangelicals are low and Anglo-Catholics of both liberal and conservative varieties are high). Outside the US the terms High and Low are more expressly tied to Evangelical or Anglo-Catholic, with latitudinarians/liberals/middle-church types described as Broad Church.
