Reformed Churchmen: Chuch Society

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.

Gillis:

As an historian, I appreciate your historical effort vis a vis the Church Society. But REC? Am an 87' grad of RES with an 81' degree from WTS and additional grad credits in classics (languages) and Roman theology (Villanova). Very leary of anything connected to the current REC leadership...across the top. Why not AOC?

Thanks, but massive trust issues with the REC. In fact, the current Bishops are a great and weighty argument against episcopacy and in favour of Presbyterianism. Leo the Capitulator? Ray the accomodator of APA? Dan, permitting Marian invocations? Roy in Houston?

An old Calvinist with an old BCP, but in exile. Re: REC big time Caveat Emptor.

Regards,

Don
