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.

Alfred the Great (849-899 A.D)

Alfred the Great 849-899 A. D. (Matthew Trewhella)




"My greatest desire in preaching this sermon is that you might see how one man governs his life can impact the lives of countless millions for generations to come, even in many nations. Most Christians have never heard of Alfred the Great. This sermon gives a summary of his life. This sermon repudiates the idea that Christianity should have nothing to do with the governance of nations. This sermon adds to the ongoing discussion of building a Christian society. This sermon ends with a scathing denunciation of Pietism."
