Reformed Churchmen: Anglicans Ablaze: Reformation Day and the 457th Anniversary of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer

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.

Anglicans Ablaze: Reformation Day and the 457th Anniversary of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer

We look forward to Robin Jordan's posts on the 1552 BCP. As usual, Robin will be exhaustive and thorough. We commend his website to all Anglican readers and other Churchmen also. You won't find these kind of posts anywhere in Anglican blogdom, except a few. You'll see nothing from ACNA clerk-dom. It's a sustained "black-out" in those parts. We'll keep you posted. Again, we recommend staying close to Robin's website for other news as well.

As an aside, on the XXXIX Articles, a post was placed at the Virtual Voice of Syncretism. No one comments. Articles like that just don't get interest in the Anglo-Catholicized constituency of the Virtual Voice.

Here's Robin's note.

This Saturday--31st October 2009--is Reformation Day, and this Sunday--1st November 2009--is the Feast of All Saints (also known as the Feast of All Hallows, or Hallowmas) and the 457 th anniversary of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer. To mark these occasions I am posting a series of articles on the Reformation and the 1552 Prayer Book.
