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. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

This is absolutely a top drawer lecture. There was a day when the English Reformed Church listened to this and could handle it, approvingly. That skill set was eviscerated with Laud and the Reformed Church of England never recovered. Then Wesleyan horrors! Had the English Reformers not been repressed by Queen Exegete the First, the Sovereign Theologian, Laud and Wesley would never have been ordained. For the romanticists of Anglicanism, the Bible remains the premier and governing standard. You won't get this level of analysis at Nashotah House or Trinity Episcopal School of Ministry.

And you won't find this level of analysis anywhere in the "Virtual Online Voice of Orthodox Romanticism, Confusion, Syncretism, Enthusiasm, and Irreconcilables." All that puerile site can offer is rebuttals to homogenitalia and enthusiasms over "4-Streamism."
