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.

ewjackson2
In remarks to the AIM conference, “ObamaNation: A Day of Truth,” on September 21st, Bishop Earl Walker Jackson Sr. said that Barack Obama has launched an ”assault on religious liberty” and that we are being led by people “who don’t respect the constitution.”



Bishop Jackson was a Republican Party primary candidate for the United States Senate in Virginia in the 2012 election. He is the founder and current president of S.T.A.N.D. (Staying True To America’s National Destiny), a conservative non-profit organization dedicated to restoring America’s Judeo-Christian ethics. He is head pastor at Exodus Faith Ministries, located in Chesapeake,VA.

In an impassioned address, Bishop Jackson argued that the mainstream media, in lockstep with Barack Obama, is determined to undermine the tradition that our rights as Americans come from God, and not from the government. Referring to the fact that Obamacare forces Catholic religious institutions to violate their own religious beliefs by providing insurance coverage for contraception,Jacksonsaid that Barack Obama will “give you one year to change your conscience.”
