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.

SOUTHERN ALASKA – A man attending A Strange Fire conference addressing excesses in some Charismatic circles was irate after attending the wrong kind of meeting. On realising that no one in the congregation was barking like a dog or rolling on the floor, he soon sensed something was amiss.

“I have been saving money for months to come and attend a conference to get some new anointing fire but I just found people doing Bible study,” lamented Howard from Oregon.

"I am used to attending meetings where we sing one song over and over; then when you are getting dizzy with the anointing something comes and takes over causing people to roll on the ground, bark like a dog or dance like chicken.”
