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.

Stand Firm | FIFNA to Nashotah: Rescind Schori Invitation, or Move It Out of Chapel

Stand Firm | FIFNA to Nashotah: Rescind Schori Invitation, or Move It Out of Chapel









FIFNA to Nashotah: Rescind Schori Invitation, or Move It Out of Chapel

Adopted today at Forward in Faith North America’s National Council meeting:

The National Council of FIF/NA endorses and affirms the ACNA College of Bishops’ statement issued on Feb 25, 2014, regarding the invitation to Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori to preach at Nashotah House.

In the interest of restoring “the trust that this particular invitation has seriously shaken,” we request that the invitation either be rescinded or that the venue be changed to an academic lecture by Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori in a non-liturgical context, followed by a time for discussion and response.
