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-Mahaneygate: Cowardly Challies.com

Challies shuts down discussion of SGM-Mahaney-gate.  The absence of "any desire" for scholarly, sustained, tough-minded, historically oriented, and deliberative inquiry is stunning.  Cowardly Challies is suggested.

Based on recent events, do you anticipate that C.J. Mahaney will be present and a full-fledged participant?


Tim, I have had the privilege to observe CJ publicly and privately through this very public trial. I can report that CJ is taking the reconciliation process very seriously, fully cooperating and humbly submitting to everything asked of him. More importantly, I have been surprised by the grace that is so evident in his life even as he’s digitally fried through anonymous posts. I can assure you that I would not be nearly as gracious.

Yes, I expect CJ to be present and a full-fledged participant at T4G 2012. He is exactly the kind of man we want to stand with—together for the gospel.

Memo to those who want to bring up the Mahaney/SGM situation: We're not going there. Period.

David Kjos--

"Memo to those who want to bring up the Mahaney/SGM situation: We're not going there. Period."

What does that even mean? Why not?

    If you don't know, you probably don't need to know.

    Because this isn't the place for that.

    And that's all I have to say about that.

    I do know--genuinely wondered why a subject was off limits for inquiry.

    I think this is the place for that-esp. if people have sincere questions/concerns.

    What you had to say about "that" was nothing that helped me at all- but it is your comment thread.
