Broad Church
(gcide) | Broad Church \Broad" Church`\ (Eccl.)
A portion of the Church of England, consisting of persons who
claim to hold a position, in respect to doctrine and
fellowship, intermediate between the High Church party and
the Low Church, or evangelical, party. The term has been
applied to other bodies of men holding liberal or
comprehensive views of Christian doctrine and fellowship.
[1913 Webster]
Side by side with these various shades of High and Low
Church, another party of a different character has
always existed in the Church of England. It is called
by different names: Moderate, Catholic, or Broad
Church, by its friends; Latitudinarian or Indifferent,
by its enemies. Its distinctive character is the desire
of comprehension. Its watch words are charity and
toleration. --Conybeare.
