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.

Pelosi-Land: Dodging Reporter Re: Rising Health Insurance Premiums

REPORTER: We're hearing voices in the insurance industry saying that the ACA is going to lead directly to premium increases.

NANCY PELOSI: Really? Who? Name names.


REPORTER: And you're saying they're going to lead to premium decreases.


PELOSI: Name names.

REPORTER: I don't have any. But it's on background and off the record, and they're saying this law is going to do it. It's a sensitive subject and they don't want to stir you guys up too much.


PELOSI: Well, you know, how can I answer that? Somebody who will be nameless says something in private that you want me to respond to.


REPORTER: Well the industry is always going to blame the law for something. I understand that point. But you're saying that the premiums are going to decrease. They're saying it's going to increase and they're blaming the law. So how do you reconcile those two conflicting things?
