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.

Advisorial for our Readers
We are deeply read in the Presbyterian, Reformed, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions. As such, we read the Bible assiduously as those traditions direct.
We loathe the Anabaptists, Revivalists, and Methedobaptocosltist-Yappers, the vast majority of American religionists.
We are 1662 BCP-men here, 24/7/. We lament, yeah, "loathe" American religion, although--in Anglicanism-we might be dubbed "low Churchmen."
The "high churchmen" can putz around the altar with their varied pieties, but we are committed to the old BCP.
My home church, an High Church tradition, still adheres to the Creedal and Confessional tradition (39 Articles). http://marinerschurchofdetroit.org/
