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.

Tim Sims is a committed Christian and a highly respected, successful business leader. He and his wife are involved at one of Sydney’s largest churches. Two years ago he provided a report for Dr. Peter Jensen (then archbishop of Sydney) on church life and its interface with the wider culture based on thorough research conducted at that time.

Since that time he has initiated a strategic program, ‘Effective Ministry’ (www.effectiveministry.org).
