High Church - Kokyokai (English spelling)

Japanese: 高教会 - こうきょうかい（英語表記）High Church

The position emphasizes the continuity of the Anglican Church with the early and medieval churches, and places importance on the authority of the church, the historical episcopacy, and the sacraments. The English Reformation followed a different path from the German and Swiss Reformations, but theologically it was strongly influenced by continental reformers such as Luther, Zwingli, Butzer, and Calvin, and established its doctrinal position. During the Elizabethan era, when the Church of England was established as a state church, continental theologians, especially Calvin's ecclesiology and clerical theory, were dominant, but at the end of the 16th century, Richard Bancroft, Hooker, and others positioned the Church of England as a branch of the universal (Catholic) Church, and advocated the need for a bishopric based on apostolic succession.

アングリカン･チャーチの初代･中世教会との連続性を強調し，教会の権威，歴史的主教制，サクラメントを重視する立場。イギリス宗教改革はドイツやスイスの宗教改革とは違った歩みをたどったが，神学的には初めルター，ついでツウィングリ，ブツァー，カルバンら大陸の宗教改革者の影響を強く受けつつその教義的立場を確立した。国教会として確立するエリザベス朝では，大陸の神学者，とくにカルバンの教会論，職制論が支配的であったが，16世紀末にはバンクロフトRichard Bancroft，フッカーらが英国国教会を普遍的(カトリック)教会の一つの枝として位置づけ，使徒継承に基づく主教制の必要を唱えた。
