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.

Vets Day 2011: Lest We Forget: A Salute to Fallen Veterans, Fellow Killers, Fellow Life-Takers, Fellow-Warriors and Fellow Veterans


Sharon and I will be buried amongst the brave heroes at Camp Lejeune, NC.  An honour to be amongst the brave, the courageous and the honourable. These men "went in" with names on the cammie blouses/shirts and had/have names on the tombstones.  Every week here, the names rise in the local papers.  Honoured to be buried amongst them, we are honoured to "live amongst" the 1000s of Marines here, the dead, the retired, the active duty, and those reservists who pass through here.  As I write, the helicopters fly over the house (New River USMC Air Station, CLNC), the "sounds of freedom."  Semper Fi to those living and reading.  "We" have a history and tradition to honour, preserve and extend.  I also pay tribute to my Father on Vets Day.
