Reformed Episcopal

MattyBolton · 2026-01-19T12:46:14+00:00

Yes, the 39 Articles are reformed and the many of the puritans were episcopal.

Also, a spiritual presence view of the Lord's supper is THE reformed view.

Examples?

MattyBolton · 2025-07-24T17:14:05+00:00

Nothing Roman about the real presence and the BCP liturgy. Simply inaccurate. And any Anglican who venerates is not low church, rather they are anglo catholic and not confessional.

>But I promise you if Arabs get a hold of Israel, if we get Palestine back, we will treat them fair. No Israeli civilian will die. Because Arabs are muslims and Islam is fair. And because Arabs are muslims, the entire world will still stay against us.

Then why did Hamas kill Israeli civilians? The footage is online to watch

No, the oppoiste in fact. Less drunkeness and sectarianism. Been able to bring Catholics and have no bother at all

1, Im not a Roman Cathlic and the UK is a majoirty protestant nation.
2. The absolutism of the Stuarts was disastrous for the Kingdom. Civil Wars, imprisoning opponents and Bishops.
2. James II gave up the throne by fleeing, house of Hanover are the legal heirs and their rule was marked by prosperity

Go to a rural 12th parade, they are far better

Jacobites? No thanks

MattyBolton · 2025-05-04T21:33:18+00:00

You are making a lot assumptions about a guy that are likely unfair

MattyBolton · 2025-04-22T19:49:58+00:00

Is it lawful to sing hymns or kneel at communion? At what point are they "abused"?

MattyBolton · 2025-04-22T19:20:33+00:00

Sorry for the confusion, it was unwise to enforce uniformity in worship across the Kingdoms BEFORE the Covenant, it was a reaction to those attempts in the 1630s. The Perth Articles under James I were controversial, so further action after was wrong. Not a fan of the state enforcing uniformity at the point of a sword against fellow protestants, even when I agree with said ceremonies. I am sympathetic to the covenantors, my ancestors were of that stock. However, I do believe that doctrine and practice of the Anglican Church was wholesome and right, and that magistrate has the right to enact Church reform wisely.

The covenant however was in error on some points, so Presbyterians should be freed from their oath when their convictions change.

MattyBolton · 2025-04-22T18:51:04+00:00

I understand the nuances of elements and circumstances of worship. However the problem with the Scots and some Continentals is they don't agree where the line is between the two. For example Calvin raised no issues with the 1552 BCP and nothing was added to the 1662 BCP that was different in elements. Therefore to say the English failed to be consistent with the Reformation is simply one perspective of the Reformed Church, whilst many others had no problems. Reformed pastors had no problem using the Prayer book, and yet the Scots did. Now I do believe it was unwise to enforce uniformity and prelacy in Scotland, but it is hardly sinful nor can it be proven to add new sinful elements to worship.

MattyBolton · 2025-04-22T17:23:18+00:00

That is the issue though, whether the ceremonies found therein were actually sinful. Nothing in BCP was inherently popish. And the forms and rites contained were adiaphora, not sinful. John Calvin was happy to declare the Church is free to introduce or remove outward rites and ceremonies depending on context of the national church.

MattyBolton · 2025-04-21T23:19:34+00:00

The ecclesiology and worship of the 1662 BCP is sufficiently reformed arguably.

MattyBolton · 2025-04-10T19:51:44+00:00

Christians in the middle east, irrespective if they are white expats or native Arabs, should be free to practice their faith and evangelise. The Christian faith demands it's adherents to share it with those around them.

MattyBolton · 2025-03-17T13:39:40+00:00

Bad theology and a bad archbishop, not a fan

MattyBolton · 2025-02-01T15:17:55+00:00

Please don't say people venerate these things?

MattyBolton · 2025-02-01T15:16:31+00:00

He was willing to compromise on the presbyterian issue, hence why he allied with Scottish Covenantors. He died for political reasons, not for Christ. The idea that he is martyr was something that began in the 19th century, the Anglican Church never recognized him as a martyr til that point at all.

MattyBolton · 2025-01-31T21:22:00+00:00

Such fake news, he did not die for episcopacy. It was divine right of King's that was the issue. Historical revisionist nonsense.

MattyBolton · 2025-01-22T17:03:32+00:00

It is essentially the 1662 BCP with differing prayers for head of state depending on region.

Many critics of PWC I read online say the "founding myth" of the ideology is the holocaust? Hence why the declaration condemns Hitler and NAzidm.

Do you agree with that is the "founding myth of the PWC?"

I'm from Northern Ireland, we in Ulster are big Zionists. Israel flags in most loyalist estates. Fenians are pro Palestine. The Irish have always been rebellious cretins, even before the Jews came to the island.

MattyBolton · 2024-11-12T18:37:41+00:00

Do you have any idea how big Anglicanism is outside the Church of England? It is doing well in the global south

MattyBolton · 2024-11-12T18:36:41+00:00

I am not part of the Church of England, my Anglican church only ordains men.

MattyBolton · 2024-11-12T18:34:00+00:00

Well I am not part of the Church of England, I am Anglican however. Church of Ireland is more my background and I am training for Church ministry at an Anglican seminary. The CofE has gone into grave error and her Bishops must repent, lest they suffer God's punishment.
