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.

Reasonable Christian: Why Amyraldianism or Four Point Calvinism Is Suspect from a Reforming Anglican Perspective
Posted using ShareThis
A nice piece of work by Charlie Ray, though a few places I would change or qualify. Nontheless, at least one man is thinking and getting alot right. This will go over ACNA heads, reading lists, seminary curricula, rectors, and bishops.
It must noted that Dordtrectian Calvinism was taught at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary in the 70's-early 90's, before it collapse into modern syncretism. They once had some very capable, well-read, and thinking men. There's still a few around, but acceptance by others and the almost enthusiastic lust for respectability has replaced the solidity of the scholars pre-1990.
