The Society is open to all. It is not a
devotional or ‘party’ grouping; its concern is the history of
Anglo-Catholicism broadly defined. The subject matter includes
biography, architecture and artistic development, music and
literature, as well as general history from the
international to the local.
It is not an academic society as such, though
it includes academics amongst its membership. The lectures and
publications are scholarly but aim always to be accessible.
The Chairman, Dr Perry Butler, is always happy
to hear from scholars working in the field (including
postgraduates and local historians) who might like to address
the society or write something for the Newsletter.
The Society aims to promote the history of the
Anglo-Catholic movement in a variety of ways:
 |
We meet three times a year at St Clement Danes
in the Strand for a lecture—these are usually held in late
January, June and early October. The lectures are subsequently
printed and sent to members. Members also receive a regular
Newsletter, usually in May and December.
|
|
|
|
We publish longer works which are available to members at a discount. For a list of publications available, please see
here.
|
|
|
We will occasionally make subventions to
enable the publication of academic books.
|
|
|
The Society is governed by a Constitution, and the officers are elected at an Annual General Meeting.
|
|
|
The Society organises occasional visits to
churches and other places of interest connected with
Anglo-Catholic history.
|
|
|
The
Facebook Group
is is an informal forum designed to promote interest in and to
encourage membership of the Anglo-Catholic History Society.
Anyone may contribute items that are relevant to our theme of
Anglo-Catholic history. Members of Facebook will find it quite
easily.
