Reformed Anglicanism

[John Shrewsbury]

I attend an Anglican church and have recently been reading about Reformed Theology. I know that in the history of Anglicanism, Reformed Theology played its part, but I wondered about today.

Does a Reformed Christian have a place in the Anglican church, and are there any resources, websites etc for Reformed Anglicans?

Thanks!

It seems to me that the Anglican Church is so broad minded that its brains fall out. If it can accommodate bishops like John Selby Spong, who don't even believe in God, I am sure it can manage the odd Calvinist.

Anglican denomination is basically the Catholic church but allows Divorce if I am not mistaken.

You are very mistaken. Some are High Church (making them more Catholic than the Catholic church), but the majority are not.

Thank you. So far you are the only one who has answered my question.

you are welcome - and for the record - if I lived close to one I would probably go to it.

Do they allow divorce?

If you say "Reformed Anglican," I think first of Sydney, Australia, as progmonk said (see www.matthiasmedia.com.au).

There are certainly many Reformed/Evangelical Anglicans in the UK, but I don't know much about them.

Do they allow divorce?

Yes, but so do most churches.

"Can a man, for instance, who has known the work of regeneration in his own soul, and whose conscience is made tender by the blessed Spirit, go on long to lie unto God by thanking Him for regenerating infants?"

Philpots letter of resignation from the  Church of England

 

[JM]

"It directs to the observation of several fasts and festivals, which are no where enjoined in the word of God, and for which it provides collects, gospels and epistles to be read: the fasts are, Quadragesima or Lent, in imitation of Christ’s forty days fast in the wilderness, Ember weeks, Rogatian days, and all the Fridays in the year; in which men are commanded to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving. The festivals, besides, the principal ones, Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide, are the several saints days throughout the year; which are all of popish invention, and are either moveable or fixed, as the popish festivals be; and being the relics of popery makes us still more uneasy and dissatisfied with them."
