The Oxford Movement was a movement of High Church Anglicans, eventually developing into Anglo-Catholicism. The members of which were often associated with the University of Oxford, argued for the recovery of tradtional aspects of the Christian faith, subsequently lost, and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy and theology and conceived of the Anglican Church as one of three branches of the Catholic Church. It was also known as the Tractarian Movement after its series of publications Tracts for the Times, published 1833 to 1841. The group was also disparangily called Newmanites (until 1845) and Puseyites (after 1845) after the two prominent Tractarians.
