There have been moves in the last few years exactly toward a more anglo catholic position from what I've read online (mainly on BBWarfield from one ex REC correspondent). They have courted a more anglo-catholic group for merger haven't they? And Presbyterianism aside, I would never trust a denomination with Sutton in it, he of Tyler ARC tyranny fame.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
