A member of the Church of England, in the time of Charles II., who adopted more liberal notions in respect to the authority, government, and doctrines of the church than generally prevailed.

One who departs in opinion from the strict principles of orthodoxy.

a term applied in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to 'broad' churchmen who were little interested in doctrine, church organisation or liturgy.

a person who is broad-minded and tolerant (especially in standards of religious belief and conduct)

Latitudinarian was initially a pejorative term applied to a group of 17th-century English theologians who believed in conforming to official Church of England practices but who felt that matters of doctrine, liturgical practice, and ecclesiastical organization were of relatively little importance. In this, they built on Richard Hooker's position, in Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, that God cares about the moral state of the individual soul and that such things as church leadership are "things indifferent". However, they took the position far beyond Hooker's own and extended it to doctrinal matters.
