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.

Church Times - Carey launches campaign for ‘persecuted’ Christians

CHRISTIANITY in the UK “is in danger of being stealthily and subtly brushed aside”, the former Arch­bishop of Canterbury, the Rt Revd Lord Carey, said during the launch of Not Ashamed, a campaign that seeks to speak up for Christian values in public life.


"The campaign was launched outside the House of Lords on Wednesday, and includes a leaflet by Lord Carey, in which he writes that the Christian faith underpins the values of Britain, but that this “rich legacy is under attack”.

He continues: “The evidence has been mounting in recent years. Teachers and council employees are suspended for offering to ‘say a prayer’.” He attributes the trend to a combination of well-meaning poli­tical correctness, multicultural­ism, and overt opposition to Christi­anity.
