Anglo-Catholics
Incense-loving Protestants
Anglo-Catholics are members of the Anglican Communion who emphasize Catholic traditions in worship and doctrine—elaborate liturgy, sacraments, vestments, and often devotion to Mary and the saints.
The movement emerged in 19th-century England and positions itself between Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity: The Anglo-Catholic parish uses incense and celebrates High Mass.
