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.

TEHRAN, IRAN—A team of Iranian and Italian archaeologists excavating a Parthian-Era (247 B.C.-A.D. 224) site in southwestern Iran has uncovered a temple made of large, rectangular stones laid without mortar. “A member of the team says that it was an altar or a small platform for worship,” said Vito Messina of the University of Turin. They also discovered an ancient family tomb that was used for 100 years. “It is a small rectangular room with a stone structure,” added archaeologist Jafar Mehrkian
