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.

PCA-Watch: Video Highlights from the PCA

Wes White offers highlights of the 39th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), reminding this scribe again of the youthfulness and--in many instances--helpfulness of this church.  Largely a southern movement in 1973, with certain emphases, it never was answered:  "Why didn't they join the Orthodox Presbyterian Church?

Video Highlights from the 39th General Assembly

TUE-101If anybody still remembers the 39th General Assembly, here are a few highlights:
  1. Dr. Harry Reeder’s Sermon at the Tuesday Evening Worship Service (@ 49:58).
  2. The ARP fraternal delegate states that since being married he has come to appreciate a few minutes of uninterrupted speech (56:30).
  3. The debate over paedocommunion during the RPR Report, which recommended that the General Assembly disagree with Pacific Northwest’s decision to ordain a man who held to paedocommunion (129:49).
  4. The debate on paedocommunion continues here. TE Andrew Webb and TE Scott Reiber gave excellent speeches in this second section.
  5. TE Harry Reeder explained the work of the CMC funding plan subcommitte (75:23).
  6. There was an interesting discussion regarding the way overtures came to the floor through the Committee of Commissioners during the report on the Committee of Commissioners for Mission to the world (139:00).
  7. TE Wes White makes the least popular request of the General Assembly, asking that all the matters in the AC Committee of Commissioners’ Report be removed from the omnibus motion so that they would be considered individually (14:13).
  8. The General Assembly took exception to the minutes of the Board of Directors who signed on to an amicus brief in a political matter (19:22). TEs Art Sartorius and David Coffin gave excellent speeches on this matter.
  9. During a debate about a constitutional amendment that would allow for the Presbytery to appoint a temporary Session, TE David Coffin stated that there is no constitutional way for a congregation to call a meeting to approve a temporary session. Listen to RE Jerry Koerkenmeier explain that there is such a constitutional method for the congregation to do this (101:21).
