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.

The Virtual Voice of Confusion

Going to tour the "Virtual Voice of Confusion" (http://www.virtueonline.org/) for awhile to see what the claques are saying in the comments (the same several ones), moderated by two volunteer nit-wits of dubious standing and attainment, all the legal wranglings, and other enthusiasms are on offer.

I really need to get on it--a posting--on the Virtue-Horton interview. Have the notes, but pretty dreary "puffings" from the "Orthodox Muffled Voice."

Just finished checking in with the Chaoticians. Not in the least bit surprised or disappointed.

We may have to stop reading and posting Virtue's stuff, if only for health reasons. It's just unhealthy. Additionally, we've read enough in the Reformed Church of England to steer clear of the confusions. The ACNA is anything but a safe place for a family and for Biblical catechesis. Precious souls and destinies are at stake.
