Reformed Churchmen: Mother's Illness

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.

Mother's Illness

1. Mother took ill 15 April. Surgery 16 April for perforated stomach. Surgery successful, but difficulties with stabilizing her blood pressure since surgery. As a result, she remains intubated and on a ventilator. If blood pressure stabilizes, we believe she will be extubated in morning. Other than that, her other medical indices are excellent. Anticipated hospital stay of 7 days.

2. Still in Detroit since Dad's passing 23 March assisting Mum with estate issues.

3. Earlier this week, visited Mariners' Anglican Church, Detroit, for an excellent visit with some church staff. Took membership, although I reside in NC. While in Detroit, this "is" my home church. The music is top notch and I can tolerate the 1928 BCP (unlike that 79 BCP, a hatchet job of liberals, a total mess). http://marinerschurchofdetroit.org/10.html

4. Have limited internet comms so not posting as regularly.

Regards to all.
