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.

"The English Churchman"

http://www.cofec.org/sermons/7839.pdf

"The English Churchman," 25 Feb through 3 Mar 2012.  It's a solid paper, but brooks no Anglo-Catholicism or Romanism. This is the oldest Protestant, mostly Anglican, newspaper in continuous print for at least 200 years.  The Rev. Peter Ratcliff is the editor.  There is a good article at the end on the Thirty-nine Articles.
