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.

The Evangelistic Strategy of the Book of Common Prayer

More wine, Vicar?

It’s not entirely a Puritan thing. But it is very much a seventeenth century thing. Last week I gave a talk to a bunch of Anglicans at a clergy conference all about the evangelistic strategy of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.

If you’d like to listen in, you can do so here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13690817/The%20Evangelistic%20Strategy%20of%20the%20BCP%20%28Lee%20Gatiss%29.mp3.

I even included a little aside about Vermigli, which began life as a post or two on this blog. Hope you enjoy it!
