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.

The Pope Denounces True Christians

The Pope's denunciation of true Christian was carried across the world as a major news item on July 10-11, 2007. For example, the UK Times declared, "If it isn't Roman Catholic then it's not a proper Church, Pope tells Christians." Other headlines were, "Vatican text angers Protestants" and "Pope Benedict XVI Detours Salvation Through Catholic Church." Because of the consequences of the Pope's decree, and the change of Vatican policy involved, it is necessary to analyze the document and its after effects on true believers. This careful scrutiny of what has happened is evaluated on this DVD by Richard Bennett and Michael de Semlyen; professionally produced and narrated by Brian Haskin.

Let ECT-signatories, like Dr. James Innes Packer and others, digest this and related materials for further inquiry.
