Yea true
Do you think it's to do with feeling 'lower class' or something. Cos that's the main division back in the olden days UK, probably still is these days. The common people were Salvos and Quakers. The Quakers used to not accept those in higher education, cos they'd have to doff their hats to them and call them professor, and they would wear fancy clothes.
Or something I can't remember now. I just know they preferred everyone to wear plainclothes and call everyone a friend. Sometimes it seems to me a kind of communism/socialism they were advocating.
There was 'high church' which is different to 'low church' I wish someone who lives in the UK would explain it to me.
High Church Anglicanism or Anglo Catholicism puts much emphasis on the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist. They believe in baptismal regeneration and the 'real presence' of Christ in the bread and wine of communion. They value much ritual in worship, with elaborate vestments, incense and the like. Theologically they are more liberal.
Low Church Anglicanism is more Bible orientated, evangelical, minimal ritual. They take a more Reformed view of baptism and communion. Theologically, they are more conservative.
