释义

Broad Churchn.adj.

Brit. /ˈbrɔːd tʃəːtʃ/, U.S. /ˈbrɔd ˌtʃərtʃ/, /ˈbrɑd ˌtʃərtʃ/
Forms: also with lower-case initial(s).
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: broad adj.1, church n.1
Etymology: < broad adj.1 (compare broad adj.1 6) + church n.1
A. n.
1. A tradition or group within the Anglican communion which favours a liberal, comprehensive, or tolerant approach to the variety of opinion existing within the church in matters of doctrine and ritual. Also sometimes: a tradition or group advocating similar principles within another church.The phrase came into use around 1850 (compare Broad Churchman n.) on the analogy of, and in distinction to, the long-standing division between High Church and Low Church (see High Church n., Low Church n.). The association of the idea of broadness with a liberal or inclusive approach to matters of doctrine and ritual, however, goes back to the period during which High Church and Low Church themselves became fixed identities within the Church of England: see latitudinarian adj. and n., and cf. broadway adj.1Common throughout the second half of the 19th cent., and in late 20th and 21st cent. use often historical, with reference to this earlier period.
