31-856: The Archaeological Journal was established as a quarterly journal of the British Archaeological Association in 1844.

93-650: A religious historian, served as its first female president. The annual conference was revived in 1975, with the first of the new series being held in Worcester . Since then, the association has held an annual conference at a centre of established importance in the mediaeval period, usually in the British Isles and occasionally in mainland Europe, collating the results of recent research on major cathedrals, minsters and abbeys and including visits to places of relevant interest. The conference proceedings are published as

155-565: The Tracts for the Times , published from 1833 to 1841. Tractarians were also disparagingly referred to as "Newmanites" (before 1845) and "Puseyites" after two prominent Tractarians, John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey . Other well-known Tractarians included John Keble , Charles Marriott , Richard Froude , Robert Wilberforce , Isaac Williams and William Palmer . All except Williams and Palmer were fellows of Oriel College, Oxford . In

186-687: The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions . The association's annual publication is The Journal of the British Archaeological Association . NB An index to the first 30 volumes of the association's journal was published in 1875 Tractarian The Oxford Movement was a movement of high church members of the Church of England which began in the 1830s and eventually developed into Anglo-Catholicism . The movement, whose original devotees were mostly associated with

217-636: The Church of Ireland , and the elimination of Vestry Assessment ( church rates or "parish cess"), a cause of grievance in the Tithe War . The bill also made changes to the leasing of church lands. Some politicians and clergy (including a number of Whigs ) feared that the Church of England might be disestablished and lose its endowments. John Keble criticised these proposals as " National Apostasy " in his Assize Sermon in Oxford in 1833, in which he denied

248-678: The English Reformation , as well as from contemporary Roman Catholic traditions. The immediate impetus for the Tractarian movement was a perceived attack by the reforming Whig administration on the structure and revenues of the Church of Ireland (the established church in Ireland), with the Irish Church Temporalities Bill (1833). The Act provided for the merging of dioceses and provinces of

279-500: The University of Oxford , argued for the reinstatement of some older Christian traditions of faith and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy and theology . They thought of Anglicanism as one of three branches of the " one, holy, catholic, and apostolic " Christian church. Many key participants subsequently converted to Roman Catholicism . The movement's philosophy was known as Tractarianism after its series of publications,

310-603: The AI considered themselves to be socially superior) and religious (the Oxford Chronicle of 16 August 1845 suggested that the dispute had acquired Tractarian /anti-Tractarian overtones). The nineteenth-century passion for archaeology meant that both the BAA and the AI (later the Royal Archaeological Institute ) flourished, although the earlier society retained the reputation for enthusiasm rather than elegance. In 1905, however,

341-592: The Advancement of Science . The first meeting was held in Canterbury in 1844. The site, with its magnificent cathedral, had obvious appeal and was close to the seat of the association’s first president, Lord Albert Conyngham (1805-1860). The Canterbury Congress occasioned the dispute which led to a split and the formation of the Archæological Institute (AI). The public reason for the feud

372-688: The BAA had reached a low ebb. The congress, held in Bath, made no money, the journal was delayed and many members were in arrears. The custom had emerged of electing as president a dignitary from the locality in which the next Congress was to take place. In 1905, the mayor of Reading was elected, to preside over a Congress in the same town. However, by the time the Congress took place, local landowner and former High Sheriff of Berkshire, Charles Edward Keyser , had become president. Keyser remained resident until his death in 1929. From 1945 until 1951, Rose Graham ,

403-490: The Church of England to return to the ways of the ancient and undivided church in matters of doctrine, liturgy and devotion. They believed that the Church of England needed to affirm that its authority did not come from the authority of the state, but from God. Even if the Anglican Church were completely separated from the state, it could still claim the loyalty of Englishmen because it rested on divine authority and

434-727: The Roman Catholic Church in 1845, followed by Henry Edward Manning in 1851, had a profound effect on the movement. Apart from the Tracts for the Times , the group began a collection of translations of the Church Fathers , which they termed the Library of the Fathers . The collection eventually comprised 48 volumes, the last published three years after Pusey's death. They were issued through Rivington 's company with

465-617: The Roman and Anglican churches were wholly compatible. He was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1845 and was ordained a Catholic priest two years later. He later became a cardinal (but not a bishop). Writing on the end of Tractarianism as a movement, Newman stated: I saw indeed clearly that my place in the Movement was lost; public confidence was at an end; my occupation was gone. It was simply an impossibility that I could say any thing henceforth to good effect, when I had been posted up by

496-498: The Tractarian priests began working in slums . This was partly because bishops refused to give livings to Tractarian priests, and partly due to an ethos of concern for the poor. From their new ministries, they developed a critique of British social policy , both local and national. One of the results was the establishment of the Christian Social Union , of which a number of bishops were members, where issues such as

527-536: The authority of the British Parliament to abolish several dioceses in Ireland. The Gorham Case , in which secular courts overruled an ecclesiastical court on the matter of a priest with somewhat unorthodox views on the efficacy of infant baptism , was also deeply unsettling. Keble, Edward Bouverie Pusey , Newman, and others began to publish a series known as Tracts for the Times , which called

558-547: The church. In particular, it brought the insights of the Liturgical Movement into the life of the church. Its effects were so widespread that the Eucharist gradually became more central to worship , vestments became common, and numerous Roman Catholic practices were re-introduced into worship. This led to controversies within churches that resulted in court cases, as in the dispute about ritualism . Many of

589-562: The collection of British antiquities. All three men were Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of London but felt the older body was too aristocratic, too London-focused and lacked the campaigning vigour required. The naming of the new body was symbolic: British referred to the campaign for a museum of British Antiquities, Archaeological differentiated their field from older antiquarian methods and Association had reformist, even revolutionary, overtones. Smith became its first secretary and arranged

620-611: The concept of the Oxford Movement to argue for a return to traditional Confucianism in China . Defunct One of the principal writers and proponents of Tractarianism was John Henry Newman , a popular Oxford priest who, after writing his final tract, " Tract 90 ", became convinced that the Branch Theory was inadequate. Concerns that Tractarianism was disguised Roman Catholicism were not unfounded; Newman believed that

651-439: The early nineteenth century, many of the clergymen of the Church of England , particularly those in high office, saw themselves as latitudinarian (liberal). Conversely, many clergy in the parishes were Evangelicals , as a result of the revival led by John Wesley . Alongside this, the universities became the breeding ground for a movement to restore liturgical and devotional customs which borrowed deeply from traditions before

682-578: The first six annual congresses. Although he remained one of the secretaries until 1851, he had effectively resigned the post in 1849. One of the aims of the association was to promote dialogue between self-identified experts and local archaeologists, to be achieved through the organization of an annual congress, along the model of the French Congres Archaeologique or the annual meetings of the British Association for

713-579: The historic pre- schism Catholic Church. Tractarians argued for the inclusion of traditional aspects of liturgy from medieval religious practice, as they believed the church had become too "plain". In the final tract, " Tract 90 ", Newman argued that the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, as defined by the Council of Trent , were compatible with the Thirty-Nine Articles of the 16th-century Church of England. Newman's eventual reception into

744-483: The imprint of the Holyrood Press. The main editor for many of these was Charles Marriott . A number of volumes of original Greek and Latin texts were also published. One of the main contributions that resulted from Tractarianism is the hymnbook entitled Hymns Ancient and Modern which was published in 1861. The Oxford Movement was criticised as being a mere " Romanising " tendency, but it began to influence

775-401: The just wage, the system of property renting, infant mortality and industrial conditions were debated. The more radical Catholic Crusade was a much smaller organisation than the Oxford Movement. Anglo-Catholicism – as this complex of ideas, styles and organisations became known – had a significant influence on global Anglicanism. Gu Hongming , an early twentieth-century Chinese author, used

806-412: The marshal on the buttery-hatch of every College of my University, after the manner of discommoned pastry-cooks, and when in every part of the country and every class of society, through every organ and opportunity of opinion, in newspapers, in periodicals, at meetings, in pulpits, at dinner-tables, in coffee-rooms, in railway carriages, I was denounced as a traitor who had laid his train and was detected in

837-515: The principle of apostolic succession. With a wide distribution and a price in pennies, the Tracts succeeded in drawing attention to the views of the Oxford Movement on points of doctrine, but also to its overall approach, to the extent that Tractarian became a synonym for supporter of the movement. The Tractarians postulated the Branch Theory , which states that Anglicanism, along with Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, form three "branches" of

868-437: The theory and practice of Anglicanism more broadly, spreading to cities such as Bristol during the 1840s-50s. The Oxford Movement was also criticised as both secretive and collusive. The Oxford Movement resulted in the establishment of Anglican religious orders , both of men and of women. It incorporated ideas and practices related to the practice of liturgy and ceremony to incorporate more powerful emotional symbolism in

899-548: Was founded in 1843 and aims to inspire, support and disseminate high quality research in the fields of Western archaeology , art and architecture , primarily of the mediaeval period, through lectures, conferences, study days and publications. The BAA was founded in December 1843 by Charles Roach Smith , Thomas Wright and Thomas Joseph Pettigrew , to encourage the recording, preservation, and publication of archaeological discoveries, and to lobby for government assistance for

930-400: Was quarterly (sometimes falling to twice or three times a year) until 1926. In 1927 the journal became an annual publication. From volume 51 (1894), issues bore the notice "second series". The publisher of the journal has been variously listed as: The earliest volumes do not list a named individual as editor, however volume 1 (1844) contains an introduction to the journal by Albert Way , who

961-422: Was the publication by Thomas Wright of The Archæological Album, or, Museum of National Antiquities (1845), a commercial publication from which Wright drew profit. This infuriated Oxford publisher John Henry Parker, who was to have been the publisher of the official proceedings. Behind the scenes, however, the dispute had other dimensions, both social (all the founders of the BAA were 'trade', the seceding members of
