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.

Justin Taylor (Gospel Coalition) on C.J. Mahaney

Over at The Gospel Coalition website, Justin Taylor published a post on July 7th entitled “C.J. Mahaney: Why I’m Taking a Leave of Absence”.

http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/2011/07/07/c-j-mahaney-why-im-taking-a-leave-of-absence/

Although Taylor allows for comments on all of his blog posts, the comments on this particular post have been CLOSED.

After republishing the letters written by Mahaney and Harvey, Taylor admonishes his readers with these words:

“If I could offer one short word here: information like this can be difficult to process because you’re not sure what to do with it. I think our natural temptation is to speculate and to gossip, which ultimately accomplishes nothing but destruction.”

The neo-predestinarian Anabaptists will circle the wagons forever. Looking forward to “observing” the loud silence.
