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.

SGM-CJgate: DPV's Letter to AoR and Lutheran Reconcilers

Mr. Kober:

The circle widens, on my limited end. As it must. I understand that the circle widens in other orbits as well. That is, there are floating emails. It also is an understanding that “insider SGM” Pastors have issues with the regime.

A man like Mahaney markets himself widely, nationally, and internationally through CDs, DVDs, the website, mp3s, books, conferences, a Pastors College, and nation-wide affiliations. As such, he is “open game” for analysis. “It is what it is.” I am must enriched by the provenance and background of the Detwiler documents and CJ’s work, “Humility: True Greatness.” (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2005). CJ writes this while his top advisors, Harvey and Detwiler, commiserate over the phoniness and hypocrisy. The book by Mahaney is quite impoverished–biblically, historically, theologically, confessionally, and liturgically. Mahaney-insiders were mocking the phony-Mahaney-gig, including Harvey. Ted, open game for all analysts.

I sent a few posts into high level Reformed orbits.

My sense is this: “You better be thorough or you’ll face heavy north 60-foot Norwegian seas (quite bad near the Artic over towards Russia, been there).

I sent these into the Reformed Professorial world. “Viking” is my nickname and earned amongst Marines years ago. The forum knows me as “Viking.” Darryl is a Harvard-PhD and Reformed Churchman asking questions about Mahaney. Carl Trueman will “get the memo.” Carl screwed up, royally.

Sir, it is my intention to continue to expose the hypocrisy, duplicity, authoritarian abuses, autocracy, and lies of Mr. Mahaney. Mahaney must stand down, resign, and “man a broom” somewhere. Ted, manfully call it what is is: historic abuse. The continued support of him in the wider world must end.

Please advise Bryce of this communication.  We want "facts first and exclusively."

Regards,
Don
