This is an alternative to the BLOCKQUOTE mark-up.  Its advantage lies mainly in the fact that it slightly compresses the quoted text and compacts it thus giving a better visual effect, but it is also easier to insert.
The font-size defaults to 90% of standard text size, but this can be changed if required and in some cases 85% may be more acceptable. The inset is adjustable in units of 1px. (The use of pixels is deliberate in that it produces a standard indentation which is unaffected by changes in font-size or typeface.  Normally, greater indentation should be set by multiples of 40)
;Syntax
:<code><nowiki>{{silrbq| text |f-size = nn(optional/default 90)| pad = n (optional/default 40)}}</nowiki></code>
::However, unnamed parameters will work.

Remember to "escape" or work round characters which will be taken as wiki mark-up. Note: any reference giving the source placed at the end of the quote must come '''before''' the final <nowiki>}}</nowiki> to avoid its being 'orphaned'.

It is an Anglican commonplace to say that authority in the church has three sources: The Scriptures, Reason, and Tradition.  In general, the Lowchurchman and Evangelical tend to put more emphasis on Scripture; the Broadchurchman and Liberal, on reason; and the Highchurchman and Anglo-catholic, on tradition.{{silr|nb=r|Holmes III||||11}}{{silr|nb=l|Carey||||14-16}} The emphasis on "parties" and differences is necessary but in itself gives an incomplete picture.  Cyril Garbett (later Archb of York) wrote of his coming to the Southwark Diocese:
{{silrbq|I found the different parties strongly represented with their own organizations and federations ... But where there was true reverence and devotion I never felt any in worshipping and preaching in an Anglo-Catholic church in the morning and in an Evangelical church in the evening ..... and when there was a call for united action ... the clergy and laity without distinction of party were ready to join in prayer, work and sacrifice.{{silr|Garbett|at=27}}}}
and William Gibson comments that:
<blockquote>the historical attention given to the fleeting moments of controversy in the eighteenth century has masked the widespread and profound commitment to peace and tranquility among both the clergy and the laity ... ...High Church and Low Church were not exclusive categories of thought and churchmanship.  They were blurred and broad streams within Anglicanism that often merged, overlapped and coincided.{{silr|Gibson|at=1,2}}</blockquote>
Sometimes the concept of churchmanship has been extended to other denominations.  In Lutheran churches it can be liberal Protestant, pietist, confessional Lutheran, or evangelical Catholic.
