Your Calvinist Factor

72% for me….odd for this high-church Anglican, but some of my ancestors were Calvinists :)

  1. I am often criticized on the internet as being too Reformed. I have even been called an “ultra-Calvinist.” I took the quiz and scored only 58%–so much for being too Reformed, for being a High Calvinist. I already knew that I was moderate in my Reformed views; the quiz confirmed what I already knew. It suggests that people have a lot of stereotypes about Reformed Anglicans. They also seem unaware that a number of views that they equate with Calvinism did not originate with John Calvin but belong a a body of Reformed theology that the sixteenth century Reformers held in common, the English Reformers as well as the Swiss Reformers. The Swiss Reformer Heinrich Bullinger had greater influence upon the English Reformers and the Elizabethan Church than did John Calvin. Unfortunately North American Anglicans do not know a lot about the Reformed heritage of Anglicanism.

    • Hi Robin,
      Thanks for posting and please feel free to share a little more about the Reformed tradition if you like.

  2. I am a central churchman, but lean a little lower as a get older. I scored 81 percent. Maybe because I live in Western Pennsylvania’s Presbyterian Valley?

    Thanks for posting the quiz.

    • Could be Richard :)

      You’re most welcome, and thanks for posting.
