Who are we?

We are part of the ancient English (Anglo) Christian tradition that has about 1,900 years of apostolic heritage. The early Church sent out missionaries to the British Isles during the second century to preach the Gospel. Since then, the work of the Gospel has been planted in the region. We are part of this lineage and heritage. 

During the 16th century, Western Christianity had a major reformation to restore the Christian Church back to her origin. Unfortunately, there were a number of radicals, also known as radical Protestants, who revolutionized and revised the Christian doctrines and Church. We are not part of such radical movements. We are sympathetic to some of them, but not associated with them. 

Many contemporaries have mistaken that the word "Reformed" represents Calvinism. We are not Calvinists or Protestant Lutherans. Our apostolic heritage belongs to the English tradition, also known as Anglicanism. We are also not associated with the Church of England because of their recent apostasy and heresy in blessing homosexual marriages and women ordination. When we mention the word "Reformed," we are part of the effort and history of the English tradition that reformed the Church to her origin in faith and religion. 

Some consider us as Reformed Catholic or Anglo-Catholic.

The word "catholic" is not exclusive to Roman Catholic Church. The word catholic means "universal." We are part of the catholic faith that was preached everywhere by all the apostles and early Church.

We profess our faith in the orthodox doctrines of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. It is the faith that Christ gave the Apostles and early Church, and preserved by the unity of the bishops - the successors of the Apostles - in the first seven ecumenical councils, without contradictions with the Holy Scripture. 

Our kergyma is in the classical Evangelical message and spirituality. Saint Paul wrote, "For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified..." (1 Corinthians 1:22-23a). We preach and exalt Christ and his Cross to show the lost about the love of God; the power of God's salvation for all mankind; and, how Jesus Christ destroyed the work of the devil on the Cross. We preach that there is no other way to God the Father except through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ.

We are not radical and modern Protestant Evangelicals who misuse the above-mentioned doctrine as having faith in Christ alone is a mental trick or mere cognitive effort that permits us to remove the traditions of the early Church and Apostles. Faith in Christ includes trust and belief in the wholesome life, truth, and way of Christ that was given to the early Church and Apostles. 

We are evangelical per se in the tradition of Scripture without abandoning the ancient traditions of the early Church.
