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.

No surprises here at all. Ya just can't make this stuff up.

Where's our fisherman and baiter about the ACNA? Day four has come and we're waiting with baited breath for his postulation about "core doctrinal beliefs" with the ACNA.

A child schooled in Reformation catechisms will notice--even cursorarily--that the level of motivation on offer in thus puff-piece by Disvirtueonline is about "aggressive Islam and materialism." Where's the exegesis of texts?

Precisely. You can't really blame a reporter for the events themselves. For that, send the blame to Duncan. As one commenter said "To become part of the OCA, one must deny and affirm things for which Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley died."

What is astounding is the article's spin; as if this kind of ecumenism is something we should all be cheering. I wonder whether most of it comes from the reporter or from the editor (David).

Hudson:

Our baiter, another reader, and advocate of the safety of the ACNA harbour, has suffered another day to pass. He reared his head here and in another forum and I decided to lower his head. Where r ya, lad? Day 4 has come and gone, son.

This was not for you Hudson, but I'm not having an illiterate yokel saying fooled things. We've all had enough of that in Christ's Church.

As for the Windbag and Puff-o-phile, Virtue hires them and screens them. His "darling," the ACNA is his legacy of about 13 years of writing (and not reading much.)

You got the article right.

Here's another puff-piece. You called it right in the Disvirtual comments section, which one of their claques rebuffed.

We need a Fellowship of Calvinistic, Reformed Anglicans. Real Calvinists, not Amyraldians, but men with high views of the Reformation and the Confessions. The prayer book is one piece of it--that's about it.

We have a new name for Virtue. Mr. Windbag. He's handed that satire and bite for years. Time to return it.
