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.

(Anglican) Kingdom Conference 2012: Bps. Thompson and Minns

Promotional video of an Anglican Conference called Kingdom Conference 2012, entitled "The Church for the 21st Century."  Date: 23 Mar 2012.  It is sponsored by the Diocese of Western Anglicans, The Anglican Church of North America.  The promotional video is at: http://vimeo.com/36118736.

The music?  Prayer Book Churchmanship?  Scholarly addresses?  What differs here, aside from a few purple shirts and collars, from a "generic, broad, non-confessional, non-liturgical and non-doctrinal" evangelicalism?  Mitred bishops on the left with guitar-drum kits on the right?  Why not go totally faddish, like Rick Warren or the other non-confessional evangelicals, and doff the collars and pointy hats?

Admittedly, the children and grandchildren would do better here--ACNA--than elsewhere or anywhere, other than a few URCNA or OPC churches (but they have no liturgy, but does the ACNA?).  ACNA is a marginal improvement over the TEC.
