Last year we celebrated the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. This year the history buffs and antiquarians are in joyful mood because it is the 350th anniversary

The Great Ejection of the Puritans


Today is the 350th anniversary of the Great Ejection of the Puritans from the Church of England.

 



1662 may have been a significant year for the Book of Common Prayer. It was not, however, a good year for those to whom the gospel and a good conscience were more precious than

The Evangelistic Strategy of the Book of Common Prayer


Posted on 24 Jul 2012 by Lee Gatiss in Links, Misc.




It’s not entirely a Puritan thing. But it is very much a seventeenth century thing. Last week I gave a talk to a bunch of Anglicans at a clergy conference all about the evangelistic

"That old and godly Book," the 1662 Book of Common Prayer
Don't look to Americans for appreciation here!
Professors, seminarians, and denominational leaders do no know "that old Book."

IT IS
perhaps, the defining artistic work of the Church of England – more than any
number of Victorian hymns, more than all the nation's stained glass windows and

Dr. Robert Godfrey's "Modest Effort" to Address Worship

Hint, hint, wink, wink...try that
"old Book of Common Prayer"

          The Rev. Dr. Robert Godfrey, the President of Westminster
Seminary, Escondido, makes an effort to distinquish “Evangelical” from “Reformed”
worship.  One might hope for more, but

1662 Prayer Book: The Touchstone of Faith

Virtue frequently and commendably offers good articles by others in the quest for news and, much less frequently, offers a few good articles himself.  David publicly, if not a little embarrassingly, sports his D.D. with little to show of a scholarly or doctoral calibre.  He's a news man, a beat-journalist.  That doesn't go that far.  But, on a kinder note. Here's a nice article (by another

CANTAUR Williams, 7 Feb 2012: Reconciliation Service Re: 1662 Ejection of 2000 Clerics

Again, we missed this service in terms of the news.   It occurred last month.  In conclusion, the CANTUAR concludes:  "...in taste, catholic; in feeling, evangelical; in expression, scholarly; in doctrine, orthodox."  Given that, shall we have Westminsterian theology with the old Anglican Prayer Book?  Bizarre.
