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.

Ignatius of Antioch

Ignatius of Antioch, (Greek: "Ἰγνάτιος"; 35-50ish to 98-117ish),was among the Apostolic Fathers. He was the third Bishop of Antioch. He was a student of John the Apostle. En route to his martyrdom in Rome, Ignatius wrote a series of several letters, exemplars of early Christian theology. He wrote letters to the Ephesians, Magnesians, Trallians, Romans, Philadelphians, Smyrnaeans and to Polycarp, the Bishop of Smyrna.
