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.

John Chrysostom: Christ Present in the Assembly
It is not ourselves alone who participate in this assembly, but prophets and apostles as well - and the greatest thing of all, in our midst there stands Jesus, the Lord of all, in person. It was He, remember, who said, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." But if where are two or three are gathered together, He is in their midst, much more where so many man, so many women, so many fathers, and apostles and prophets are present.- John Chrysostom (around A.D. 347 to around A.D. 407),
Sermon 6 on Genesis, in St. John Chrysostom, Eight Sermons on the Book of Genesis, pp. 99-100 (2004), Robert C. Hill translator.
