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.

The general synod of the Church of England is meeting, amid fears of divisions over the ordination of women and gay people as bishops.

Religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott looks at a church wracked by fears of rupture.

The basic problem is Ministers under foreign oversight, Kenyans, is the problem.  If local C o E Bishops prove to be problematic to Ministers under AMiE, they have the foreign oversight.
Canon Giles Goddard: "This could be the first step to creating a church within a church."

Lambeth Palace has expressed "concerns."
