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.

Rev. Wright answering questions (2 of 3)



Reverend Jeremiah Wright smugly answering pre-screened written questions from the audience and press at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, in response to national criticism and formal distancing of presidential candidate Obama. Aired on National Television: 4/28/08 9:38AM.

6. In light of your wide quoted comments damning America, do you think you owe the American people an apology, if not do you still belief America is damned in the eyes of God.

7. Senator Obama has been in your congregation for over 20 years yet you were not invited to his announcement to his national candidacy in Illinois, and in the most recent presidential debate in Pennsylvania he said he had denounced you. Are you disappointed Senator Obama has choice to walk away from you?

8. You just mentioned that Senator Obama hadn't heard many of your sermons; does that mean he is not much of a church goer, or does he dowses off in the pews?

9. In your sermon you said the government lied about inventing the HIV virus and used it as a means of genocide against colored people. So I ask you, do you honestly believe your statements and words.

10. You have likened Israeli's policies to apartheid and its treatment of Palestinian with Native Americans. Can you explain your views on Israel?

11. In your understanding of Christianity, does God love the white racist the same why he loves the oppressed Black American?

12. Can you elaborate on the comparison of the Roman soldiers who killed Jesus, to the US Marine corp. Do you still believe that is an appropriate comparison and why?
