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.

Reformation Bible College: Third Annual Convocation

from Oct 02, 2013 Category: Ligonier Academy
           


During the events of this past weekend’s 2013 Fall Conference and Preview Weekend at Reformation Bible College (RBC), attendees witnessed a significant event in the life of the College. Having entered its third year, RBC formally marked the beginning of the academic year with the convocation ceremony on Friday, September 27.

The evening began with inspiring music by Reginald Lyle, playing the beautiful prelude of Highland Cathedral on the bagpipes, followed by the hymn, How Firm a Foundation as the College’s students and faculty, dressed in full academic regalia, processed into the sanctuary of Saint Andrew’s Chapel.

Sinclair FergusonFollowing a prayer of invocation, Ligonier Teaching Fellow Dr. Sinclair Ferguson delivered the commencement address, entitled “Homo Sapiens” in keeping with the conference’s exploration of man’s role as an image bearer of God. Dr. Ferguson addressed the students and faculty from Proverbs 4, which contains a father’s speeches to his son, urging him to seek wisdom. Reflecting on the wisdom of God as it is displayed in His works of creation and providence, Dr. Ferguson exhorted the faculty and students to seek wisdom by seeking our Savior, reminding them that “the pursuit of wisdom is the pursuit of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
