"High" and "Low" Church

http://www.anglican.ca/search/faq/031.htm

[The Anglican Church of Canada] 11 Aug 2007--The terms "High" and "Low" are rarely used nowadays but refer to different "parties" or schools of churchmanship within the Church of England/Anglican Communion. "High" Church is the older of the two terms historically and was first applied, in the late seventeenth century, to those individuals who were opposed to the Puritan wing of the Church of England.
