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.

Anglicans Ablaze: A Guide to the True Anglican Way

The English Reformers left to posterity a roadmap and fingerposts to guide future generations of pilgrims along the Anglican Way, to use the phrase the late Peter Toon popularized. This roadmap and fingerposts consisted of the greater formularies—the Thirty-Nine Articles, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Ordinal. They include the lesser formularies—the two Books of Homilies, Alexander Nowell’s A Catechism, and the proposed Canons of 1571 and the Canons of 1604. These formularies enunciate the teaching of the reformed Church of England and authentic historic Anglicanism. The English Reformers also bequeathed their writings to those who came after them.
