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.

Kevin DeYoung, RCA, Revisionists, and Gay-Issues (Again)

Revisionists Set Their Sites on the Reformed Church in America

Rev. Kevin DeYoung, RCA
Churchman
I mentioned in my article this morning that revisionist activists have set their sites on the Reformed Church in America (RCA). As usual, they’re using human sexuality as their wedge issue. But, thankfully, it looks like RCA pastor and reformed blogger, Kevin DeYoung isn’t taking things lying down. He’s published a two part frontal assault on the activists, calling his denomination to ignore calls for moderation and reaffirm biblical orthodoxy both in word and practice. DeYoung provides a great example of how to take the fight to the enemy early and publicly. You can read what he’s written by following the links below:

Homosexuality and the RCA: A Call for Action, Consistency, and Faithfulness (Part 1)
Homosexuality and the RCA: A Call for Action, Consistency, and Faithfulness (Part 2)

Here’s a resolution drafted for the RCA’s General Synod

And here’s an examination of human sexuality in light of one of the RCA’s core documents:Does the Heidelberg Catechism Have Anything to Say About Homosexuality?

DeYoung’s put out some great work. Be sure to read as much of it as you can.
