ABSTRACT
Against the Puritan spirituality which had deprecated the body and its senses and portrayed material externals as signs of hypocrisy in religion, Pusey held up the sacramentalliturgical life as the Church of England's noble heritage. For his adherents, known as Puseyites, eucharistic worship celebrated with incense, vestments, and processions gave new significance to earth as well as to eternity, to matter as well as to spirit. More than fifty Puseyite parishes in industrial cities established funds for workers' compensation, funds for burial, and distribution centers for clothing, food, and other necessities.
