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.

Escondido Framed

For those of you drawn more by “Presbyterian” than “blues,” John Frame has recently blasted Westminster Seminary California in his book The Escondido Theology. I’m not a close follower of Frame, having been mystified (not in a good way) years ago by his Evangelical Reunion and then more recently bumping into his interesting (as we say in the Midwest) view of the regulative principle of worship.

Included in his book are bullet points purported to describe Escondido Theology. The response from Escondido?

For more, see Presbyterian Blue at:

Reformed Anglicanism will be reviewing Rev. Frame's "framework" of the theology of theologians at Westminster Seminary, Escondido, CA.
