The Oxford Movement was criticised as being a mere "[[Anglican Papalism|Romanising]]" tendency, but it began to influence the theory and practice of Anglicanism more broadly, spreading to cities such as [[Bristol]] during the 1840s-50s.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Cobb |first=Peter G. |url=https://archive.org/details/bha068 |title=The Oxford Movement in Nineteenth-Century Bristol |publisher=Bristol Historical Association |location=Bristol |publication-date=1988}}</ref> The Oxford Movement was also criticised as both secretive and collusive.<ref name=Walsh>{{cite book |last1=Walsh |first1=Walter |author-link1=Walter Walsh (writer) |title=The Secret History of the Oxford Movement |date=1899 |publisher=London Church Association |edition=5th |url=https://archive.org/stream/secrethistoryofo00walsuoft#page/n5/mode/2up}}</ref>

The Oxford Movement resulted in the establishment of [[Anglican religious orders]], both of men and of women. It incorporated ideas and practices related to the practice of [[liturgy]] and ceremony to incorporate more powerful emotional [[Christian symbolism|symbolism]] in the church. In particular, it brought the insights of the [[Liturgical Movement]] into the life of the church. Its effects were so widespread that the [[Eucharist]] gradually became more central to [[worship]], [[vestments]] became common, and numerous Roman Catholic practices were re-introduced into worship. This led to controversies within churches that resulted in court cases, as in the [[ritualism in the Church of England|dispute about ritualism]].

Many of the Tractarian priests began working in [[slum]]s.  This was partly because bishops refused to give livings to Tractarian priests, and partly due to an ethos of concern for the poor. From their new ministries, they developed a critique of [[Poor relief|British social policy]], both local and national. One of the results was the establishment of the [[Christian Social Union (U.K.)|Christian Social Union]], of which a number of bishops were members, where issues such as the just wage, the system of property renting, [[infant mortality]] and industrial conditions were debated. The more radical Catholic Crusade was a much smaller organisation than the Oxford Movement. [[Anglo-Catholicism]] – as this complex of ideas, styles and organisations became known – had a significant influence on global Anglicanism.

[[Gu Hongming]], an early twentieth-century Chinese author, used the concept of the Oxford Movement to argue for a return to traditional [[Confucianism]] in [[China]].<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=VvsyAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Story%20of%20the%20Oxford%20Movement%20In%20China%22 The Story of a Chinese Oxford Movement]''.</ref>
