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.

________________________

Allan MacRae's tribute to his mentor:
In a letter to Miss Minna Flentje, Berlin, Germany, dated 7 March 1931, Allan A. MacRae related the following:
      "I would have written you long before this but I have been extremely busy this year and up until this week I have written hardly any letters. Dr. Wilson died in October, only about two weeks after the Seminary opened. It was a great loss to us. I am certainly thankful that I came back to America when I did, for otherwise I would not have had any time as his assistant. My year of close association with him, assisting him in his work, was one of the great privileges of my life. He was a wonderful character. He had an extremely brilliant mind. I remember how highly Professor Sachau spoke of him when I visited him there in Berlin. The news of Professor Sachau's death reached here only two or three days before Dr. Wilson himself died. He was in the hospital and they did not like to tell him of the death of his old friend and teacher. Dr. Wilson was only ill about a week. He was blessed with excellent health during most of his life. The end came rather suddenly. I was up with him most of the last night although he never regained consciousness. We miss him greatly here in the seminary, but we are always grateful for the impression of his life and the example of his great accomplishments."
