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.

24 Aug, St. Bartholomew's Day: Global Day of Anglican Prayer

http://commonprayerday.com/

A Global Day of Anglican Prayer

The 24th of August is Common Prayer Day, a day for Anglicans all across the world to come together in celebration of their common heritage of prayer and worship.
This 2012 Christians of the Anglican tradition will renew their commitment to the tradition of Common Prayer as they celebrate a read or sung service of Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, the historic liturgy that has bound Anglicans together the world over since its institution on the 24th of August 1662.

Please join with us in Christian unity this St. Bartholomew's day by being one of the faithful who will raise their voices Heavenward in common praise and supplication.
WE humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and, for the glory of thy Name,
turn from us all those evils that we most righteously have deserved; and grant, that in all our troubles we
may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in holiness and pureness of living,
to thy honour and glory; through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
