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.

Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

A Brief Break

I have taken a brief break from posting, but shall resume shortly. The anguish over American Anglican capitulations has driven me to the knees with--on occasion--serious tears in the eyes, a most un-Canadian thing--and yet with hope in our Sovereign God. The anguish, at times, is too much.

I will be posting www.youtube.com clips on Anglicanism, shortly. These will be designed for my four children and one grandchild. For the memory. For exploration. For thought. The children were raised on the BCP and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. They are all in university (and busting my budget while at it, but pressing them to "at least" get a Masters degree, in keeping with the 4-generation tradition of Masters + degrees. It's a Veitch-thing.) I want them to have the family record re: Anglicanism, although it will entail the wider concerns.

More later.

Best regards.
