I didn't mean to be offensive...I simply get tired of Christians acting as if Calvinism were some sort of disease or heresy, alien from the heart of the Reformation...when in many ways, historically and theologically, it IS it's heart.

Another word for "Anglican" is after all, Reformed Catholic--and yes, the "Reformed" part includes Calvinism--even if not of the the extreme Puritan variety.

No offense taken, and my use of the term "presbyterian" was entirely figurative. Anglicanism has always had Calvinist streams, sometimes as the mainstream. In the AMiA, Calvinism appears to BE the mainstream, and, at least in my experience, Anglo-Catholicism is generally discouraged. As other jurisdictions move to fill the vacuum left by TEC, some of these jurisdictions have sought clarity by adopting a stronger alignment toward Calvinism on the one hand and a more sacramental Catholicism on the other. As Anglicans continue to look for new jurisdictions, overt truth in advertising in this regard will be helpful.
