high church
High Church is a term referring to the practices or beliefs of certain Christian groups that place a strong emphasis on the formal, traditional, liturgical aspects of worship, sacraments, and the church hierarchy. This term is commonly associated with the Anglican, Episcopal, and some Lutheran and Methodist churches. Rituals in High Church often include the use of incense, vestments, choirs, and religious symbols. It carries certain connotations of conservatism and Catholic-leaning theology and contrasted with "Low Church" which emphasizes simplicity, biblical preaching, and personal relationship with God.
