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: How really Anglican is the ACNA?

Robin Jordan offers considerable insights on the (G)anglican Church of North America. Insightfully, Robin say:

"Evangelicals outside of North America recognize that the Anglican Church in North America falls short in a number of areas. However, they are reluctant to say anything out of fear that it may strengthen the position of the liberal wing of the Anglican Communion. They also do not want to alienate the Africans who support the ACNA and whose support they also need. The extent to which the Africans recognize these problem areas and their seriousness is unknown. No one—evangelical or African—shows any willingness to say any thing that is critical of the ACNA. In the ACNA their silence is construed as unqualified support of developments in the ACNA. Through their silence both evangelicals and Africans are unwittingly aiding and abetting a number of development that they may come to regret in the future."
