It may sound like a strange question, but J.I. Packer, perhaps the most famous conservative Anglican in North America today, is incredibly Reformed. In fact, you could argue he's more Reformed on certain issues (images of the Godhead, for instance) than many Presbyterians are today.
Does anyone know why he's chosen to remain Anglican instead of Presbyterian? I'm curious because those are the two denominations I have been considering for quite some time now. While I've definitely come to be very Reformed in my theology (I agree with probably 95 percent of what the Three Forms of Unity say), I'm not all the way there, and traditional Reformed Anglicanism has always interested me.
Any thoughts on Packer, other Reformed Anglicans, or anything else I've said?
