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.

Froude was one smug puppy. He was a product of an era in which Protestantism had begun its intellectual suicide (liberalism), when romantics believed that medieval Rome was their true home, and before evolutionary materialism had unleashed the horrors of the 20th century. He exposes some of the problems that are still with us, but otherwise he is of little help.
