Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month. December 2014: Alan Jacob's "Book of Common Prayer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Common-Prayer-Biography-Religious/dp/0691154813/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417814005&sr=8-1&keywords=jacobs+book+of+common+prayer. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer. February 2015: Jaspar Ridley's "Thomas Cranmer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-Jasper-Ridley/dp/0198212879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422892154&sr=8-1&keywords=jasper+ridley+cranmer&pebp=1422892151110&peasin=198212879

Calvin on “Free Election” in Ephesians 1 « The Reformed Reader


Calvin on “Free Election” in Ephesians 1 « The Reformed Reader

Posted using ShareThis St. Peter's Church, Geneva, to the left.

Time for Anglicans to get serious on this issue; too many leadership-children on the topic.

Bob Duncan of the new catfest, the ACNA, reflects the puerility and lack of maturity. He and his handlers invite the Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church, USA, "Jonah," who lectures the audience that Calvinism is "heresy." What can you do when the leaders are children in understanding?

Tell them to get hot and get educated. Time for Anglican leaders to go back to Geneva and Wittenburg for the basics. The "via media" of early Anglicanism was between Geneva and Wittenburg, not Rome and Geneva as revisionists often misinform.
Early Anglicanism listened to the Continent; they ceased in the nineteenth century in a serious way and has all but disappeared; I'll start listening when their top leaders have read all of Calvin, Luther and the English Reformers.
