The denigation of all things medieval is to show identity with Protestants. How many priests are Cranmers in disguise?

If they really want to identify with us, how about long pants and shirts, with an occasional tie, on the men, and dresses on the women?

As a liturgical Protestant, I would have to say that statement is very broad. On another board, I end up arguing that the liturgy is Biblical, the elements deserve respect, and that not all things Roman should have been discarded with the Reformation.

I'd also like to point out Cranmer wrote much of the Book of Common Prayer, which is a treasury for all Christians. Why point him out, save that he introduced English into English worship?
