Abstract
"Anglicans were working at Third Way politics a long time before Tony Blair thought of it. It was intrinsic to the English way of doing things when the Magna Carta was drawn up,1 and it has been seen by some historians as the principle which lay behind the Elizabethan Settlement of 1559, creating as it did a Church which was neither Catholic nor Reformed in the pure senses of either.2 Traditionally this history has been viewed as resulting in a Via Media which balanced equally the competing claims of Catholicism and Protestantism and gave to the English Church a uniquely double identity as fully Catholic and fully Reformed. It can be argued that this interpretation was a construction of later history, and came into prominence only during the nineteenth-century Oxford Movement, when the notion of a Via Media was championed by John Henry Newman"
