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.

Millenials Allegedly Sick of Diet-Soda Religion

When they've been feeding them charismania, church growth music, 7-11 music, theological diet soda, potato chips, self-absorbed therapeutic stuff, false doctrines, and every pop-fad on the streets, the time comes when "ya' reap what ya' sow."  The children are drifting. 


Fleeing watered down faiths, the impoverished millennials are allegedly heading to churches with deep traditions and liturgy.


May God provide them good under-Shepherds to gather and feed them.  Ez. 33-34; Jn. 10, inter alia.  Give them good Reformed, Confessional, and Biblical theology.  Give them a sturdy Prayer Book service. Give them classical music.


And being ignorant often, they make mistakes too like Jason Spellman, now a Romanist, or Gingerich, affiliated with Anglo-Tracto-enablers (Laud's Deformed Episcopal Small-Church).
