Reformed Churchmen: De Cura Animarum: Our Lady, Westminster Cathedral, Former Anglican Bishops and Religious Sisters Reception into Holy Mother Church

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.

De Cura Animarum: Our Lady, Westminster Cathedral, Former Anglican Bishops and Religious Sisters Reception into Holy Mother Church

De Cura Animarum: Our Lady, Westminster Cathedral, Former Anglican Bishops and Religious Sisters Reception into Holy Mother Church

An example of Anglo-Catholicism and saint-invocation, precisely why this movement has been a cancer within Anglicanism. Check the blog out. Among several saint-invoking prayers listed at this site, here is one such stinking-puddle-prayer:

Blessed John Henry Newman, pray for us!

O God, who bestowed on the Priest Blessed John Henry Newman the grace to follow your kindly light and find peace in your Church; graciously grant that, through his intercessions and example, we may be led out of shadows and images into the fullness of your truth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
