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. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

David Virtue's VOL Morely Widely Read than Episcopal News Service

RA's photo tribute to the TEC leaders.  Also, as per below, a hat tip and salute to Virtue for outpacing, out-flanking, out-writing, out-running and out-witting the Dumb Ass children at TEC's GC 2010 and the Episcopal News Service (ENS).  Trust me, these theological liberals say far worse things of Confessional, classicist, Protestant and Reformed Churchmen.  I know.  I've been there.  I've seen it.  I've heard it.  They are blind and obstinate Asses and deserve the term.  And, they are "haters."  The above is a summary of Isaiah 3.12.

General Convention proved a milestone for VOL. While the final figures are not in, we can reveal that Virtueonline was the most widely read News Service coming out of TEC's General Convention. We wrote nearly 60 stories and got over 62,000 unique visitors compared to Episcopal News Service (ENS) of 60,072 - the official news source of the Episcopal Church. Our numbers are still rising as we continue to post more stories from this event. VOL had more than 240,000 page views compared to ENS which got 172,800. We had a staff of five; 3 onsite, 2 offsite. They had a dozen reporters on site and we did it all on a shoe string budget of less than $6,000. The full fare of GenCon was over $15 million.

We need to keep the pressure on. We cannot give up now, too much is at stake. The silence of the Archbishop of Canterbury over TEC's actions speaks volumes. Dr. Rowan Williams is out the door in five months. Evidently he supposes that TEC can say and do what it wants. He doesn't care. He doesn't have to comment. He will exit as the Listening Process continues to sucker the weak and financially needy. The Covenant is past its shelf life and will go out with him. No one will take it seriously once he is gone; the Global South and a lot of liberal provinces have already rejected it including TEC and the Canadians.
