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.

(Pravda TV) "West Should Stop People from Destroying Ukraine"

So, Crimea is officially the Russian territory now. The treaty is signed. Do you feel anything about it? For now the Crimea situation is not too intense: the process of annexation goes without rebuke and the sanctions against the Russian and Ukrainian officials even made some of them laugh. With all the responsibility Russia accepted the challenge to protect the inhabitants of Crimea. And the results of the referendum held on March 16 showed that the locals actually wanted it badly. And not only the Crimean people wanted it -- there are a lot of demonstrations across the south-east part of the country against the illegitimate authority in Kiev. At the same time the head of the Right Sector party Dmytro Yarosh threatens to destroy the pipeline between Russia and Europe and proclaimed the opening of the "eastern front". In case you don't know IT, Yarosh is now in the international wanted list of criminals. Will Russia be able to overcome all the unrest or should it actuaaly be out of it? Andrey Nikiforov, political analyst, professor in the Tauride University (Simferopol): "That should be a collective responsibility, and the western part should ttake it too, because it gave birth to those who desolates and ruins Kiev, those, who actually destroyed all the constitutional system on the West. They should get over this part by themselves".
