High Church liturgical movements in Protestant Churches in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries seem to have been more numerous than is commonly thought. Tractarianism is the best known, but there was also the Mercersburg movement in the German Reformed Church in the USA, and the Church Service Society in the Church of Scotland. In both the latter, the liturgy of the Catholic Apostolic Church played an important role, and it is interesting that this was also true of the Lutheran High Church movement in Germany. The authors of this short study see stirrings in the ‘old Lutheran movement’ which opposed amalgamation with the German Reformed Church, where Wilhelm Loehe played a crucial role, and authored a liturgy in 1854. More important was Friedrich Heiler (1892–1967), who looked to the Swedish Lutheran Church as a model for that in Germany. Heiler was involved in founding a religious community, and he later became bishop for the newly created ‘Evangelical Catholic Eucharistic Communion’. A breviary and a missal were published for this community in the early 1930s. The movement of Berneuchen and its resulting liturgies up to 1998 are discussed. The authors see these as influencing the official rites of German Lutheranism, but the latter have now been ‘hijacked’ by social justice agendas. This is a useful introduction to a movement little known outside German Lutheranism, but there are no footnotes, and at times the book resembles an undergraduate extended essay.
