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. December 2014: Alan Jacob's "Book of Common Prayer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Common-Prayer-Biography-Religious/dp/0691154813/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417814005&sr=8-1&keywords=jacobs+book+of+common+prayer. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

Virtueonline? Would Archbishop Cranmer be comfortable at the Anglican Church of North America?

Herein, we get Archbishop Thomas Cranmer's view of the Papacy. http://www.churchsociety.org/churchman/documents/Cman_109_2_Elliott.pdf

And yet, at the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA) meeting, 22-25 Jun 2009, an Orthodox Bishop states his desire for union and recognition of the ACNA by his Greek Church upon the grounds of repudiating the "heresies" of the Reformation, specifically, Calvinism. The attendees applauded the Greek Bishop.

We expect little to nothing from David Virtue on this. www.virtueonline.org or his Anglo-Catholic moderators.

I consider David Virtue a friend and a discerning guy. But he's surrounded by fearful fillies in frilly frocks.

I KNEW it was stupid to again try to post @ VOL. I had done so in 2004 until I was sickened by the paucity of biblical thinking by both the Right and the Left there. I was fooled again -- shame on me!

It is dangerous that debate and criticism @ VOL comments are only allowed AGAINST Protestants, whether they're liberal or conservative.

Cranmer and Co. would NOT be welcomed @ VOL. The pro-Roman thought police would see to THAT!
