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.

Trueman Exposed

Finally! For all of his clamoring against celebrity pastors, photographic evidence has emerged that unmistakably shows Trueman as that which he loathes. It appears from the photo below that the good Dr. knows quite a bit more about celebrity than he was willing to admit. To be fair, it further appears that Trueman managed to out-celebrity even the upper echelon of celebrity pastors, given the company he kept.

I think this is a bad joke gone more bad. If a a good joke, it's still bad. Either as a good joke (intentions) or bad joke (it's really Carl), it isn't good. Sorry to see Ref21 post this.

I'm puzzled; is one of those 4 guys really Carl Trueman?

Wait, is that Jesus People era CJ Mahaney standing next to the engine? If so, this explains much. Ha!

Reformation said...

Seneca: That's the standing question. Is it really Carl (far left) in reality or it is a photoshopped job as a joke? The face is Carl's, but is it a joke or reality?

DJ, oh, oh, CJ on far right?

Sounds like Carl has admitted to the nonsense and the picture.

Two Disclaimers and Bad News for Adrian

Posted by Carl Trueman

Two disclaimers:

First, I was only the keyboard player and we never produced singles, only albums. That limits my celebrity.

Second, local Christian bookshops were swamped this morning by people returning their copies of the Shorter Catechism amidst rumours that, if you teach your daughters the Catechism, they are placed in serious danger of marrying somebody like Paul Levy. Ref21 wishes to stress that many people who have learned the Catechism have, on the contrary, gone on to make very sensible choices in life partner. There is no scientific evidence to connect learning the Catechism with marriage to Levy.

Now, bad news for Adrian `Lego' Reynolds. His favourite outreach/catechetical tool has been banned by US sales giant, Sam's Club. Ref21 was unable to reach Adrian at his home but sources close to the Proclamation Trust say he is `devastated', sees this as the start of the great end-time Tribulation and is, as we write, even now organising an `Occupy Legoland' protest.
