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.

Traditional Anglican Sermons: Confession of Sin by Hugh Latimer

Priestly Confession Properly Understood Brings Comfort And Quietness

Hugh Latimer (1485-1555)

Hugh Latimer (1485-1555) was Bishop of Worcester and a leading ReformerBUT to speak of right and true confession, I would to God it were kept in England, for it is a good thing. And those which find themselves grieved in conscience might go to a learned man, and there fetch of him comfort of the word of God, and so come to a quiet conscience; which is better and more to be regarded than all the riches of the world. And sure it grieveth me much that such confessions are not kept in England.

Sermons Of Hugh Latimer, Vol. II (1824). Sermon For The Third Sunday After The Epiphany (1553).
