Anglo-Catholicism claims to restore Christian liturgy, liturgical and Anglo-Catholic devotions, devotional expressions of church life that reflect the ancient practices of the early and medieval church. The term was coined in the early 19th century, although movements emphasising the Catholic nature of Anglicanism already existed. Particularly influential in the history of Anglo-Catholicism were the Caroline Divines of the 17th century, the Jacobitism, Jacobite Nonjuring schism of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the Oxford Movement, which began at the University of Oxford in 1833 and ushered in a period of Anglican history known as the "Catholic Revival".
