Reformed Churchmen: More Calvinistic Anglicans Engage (They Really Do Exist)

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. February 2015: Jaspar Ridley's "Thomas Cranmer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-Jasper-Ridley/dp/0198212879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422892154&sr=8-1&keywords=jasper+ridley+cranmer&pebp=1422892151110&peasin=198212879

If there's anybody out there who would like to become a contributing editor, let me know . Yes, anglicansablaze is a mixed bag. I have no doubt that he (Robin) is one of us, but the problem is that he believes we should wait patiently for ACNA to turn itself around, and that when it does there will be a place for us, Reformed Anglicans, in its midst. I just don't think that's rational. My preference is to seek the support of Presbyterians for planting churches with an Anglican ethos, yet under their discipline. That may be equally far-fetched, but I think it's Biblically principled, and rational from the point of view of history. The fallout of the 1662 settlements was tragic and unnecessary. We in North America have an opportunity to set things right, if God be willing.
