INTERVIEW: Hudson Barton (Ex-TEC/PCA) and Donald Veitch (WCF-BCP-TFU)

Hudson Barton, a cradle Episcopalian, and I discuss many things: his Episcopal background in the Philadelphia area, St. Martin’s, St. John’s, the OPC, his conversion, Bishop Bennison (TEC), the comparison of the 1662 and 1928 BCPs (with a reference to the 1979), ACNA (briefly), his family’s daily use of Morning and Evening Prayer (BCP), the Evangelical Reformed Seminary in Kiev, Ukraine, Dr. Kevin DeYoung’s PCA Church in Charlotte, NC (with substantial and stunning growth), the English Reformation, Reformers (briefly), 1595 Lambeth Articles and Richard Hooker (briefly) with the downgrade into Laudian Arminianism. It is/was the communion of genuine saints—two saints made so by God’s grace, sharing their gifts with each other, including the details of redemption and providence. We refresh and encourage each other and, we pray, others in the communion of saints, visible and assuredly in the invisible church.

FOR SAILORS, MARINES, SOLIDERS AND AIRMEN. WE NEVER FORGET. We pray for them. We teach them, as able. We speak directly like Bishop "Old Hugh" Latimer. They decide. We do not give faith, repentance, justification, adoption, sanctification, strength and other things. Those things are GOD'S OFFICES. We speak, they decide. Let us pray: 

For Youth, and Institutions of Learning

 ALMIGHTY God, the Author of all being, our only true Guide and Protector; Visit with thy blessing, we pray thee, our church schools and institutions of learning. Inspire the teachers with a proper sense of their solemn duties, and with grace and strength to fulfil them. May our youth be trained up in thy nurture and admonition. Implant in their hearts that fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom, and that faith which worketh by love and overcometh the world. Fill their memories with the words of thy Law. Open their understandings to the truth, as it is in Jesus; so that, made wise unto salvation, they may escape the pollutions of error and sin, and become strong in thy hands for the maintenance of pure and undefiled religion among men. Grant this, for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son, our Saviour. Amen.
