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.

Thomas Hooker on "The Lord's Prayer"

www.monergism.com has posted the following at:

http://www.monergism.com/updates/exposition_of_the_lords_prayer.php

It is written by Thomas Hooker, an anti-Anglican Puritan and American colonialist. This sectarian puritan had a falling out with some in Massachusetts. He left for Connecticut. Educated at Cambridge, he opposed the old Prayer Book. Nevertheless, we keep the good and toss the bad. Here are worthy thoughts, despite Hooker’s aberrancies in other issues.
