Ritualism

In nineteenth-century Anglicanism, the introduction or revival of forms of worship associated with the Catholic tradition, including vestments, incense, candles, ceremonial, and Eucharistic practices. Associated particularly with Anglo-Catholicism, Ritualism provoked intense Protestant opposition and attempts at legal suppression. Controversy culminated in cases including that of Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, whose ritual practices were judged by Archbishop Benson in 1890.
