So I've been researching the definitions of these two terms on the Internet (always a dangerous thing
) and I was curious about the history of the terms "Low Church" and "Evangelical" within the Anglican/Episcopalian tradition.
As I understand it, at various points in history, "Low Church" has been used as a synonym or equivalent of the terms "Latitudinarian," "Evangelical", or simply Anglican/Episcopalian churches that emphasize simplistic styles of worship and/or the Protestant (especially Reformed) aspects of the Anglican tradition.
However, I am not sure that the above is
necessarily correct; I suppose it depends on the time and place that we're talking about.
Anyone else here have any insights on this topic?
