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.

Ugandan Primate Says Williams Should not invite TEC & ACoC to Primates Meetingl

The slow moving train wreck of the Anglican Communion picked up speed today with the announcement that the Archbishop of Uganda Henry Luke Orombi has asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to disinvite the primates of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada to the next Primates Meeting.

In a hard hitting letter to Archbishop Rowan Williams, the Ugandan evangelical archbishop wrote saying that the next meeting of the Primates should not include the Primates of The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada who, he said, are proceeding with unbiblical practices that contradict the faith of Anglicanism.

"We cannot carry on with business as usual until order is brought out of this chaos," he told Dr. Williams.

It is clear that the Anglican Communion is crumbling and will escalate even further when a lesbian Episcopal bishop is consecrated next month in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

The Archbishop's letter was clear, unambiguous, and inspired by Archbishop Anis's letter of resignation, Orombi said.
