Reformed Churchmen: LC 3, SC 2 « Daily Westminster

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.

LC 3, SC 2 « Daily Westminster

The great Westminster Catechism. Timeless. Important, especially for Anglicans, in a tradition that seriously erred in failing to adopt this standard. A must for memory and catechetical work. It does not conflict with the great doctrines, piety, or worship of the old Reformed Book of Common Prayer. Packer, with hi...s ECT-blodge on an otherwise good set of writings, called the WCF a good commentary on the XXXIX Articles.

These are things the 'Merican Mutant Manglicans, ACNA, aren't going to tell you. Why? Cluelessness in leadership. Lack of education. Lack of training in Reformation thought.
