Oxford Movement

Oxford Movement, religious movement begun in 1833 in Oxford that aimed to revitalize the Church of England by reintroducing traditional Catholic practices and doctrines. Its leaders, John Keble, J. H. Newman, and, later, Edward Pusey, wrote a series of Tracts for the Times (1833–41) and became known as the Tractarians. Despite violent controversy, the movement has had great influence in the Anglican Church.
