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.
What a sad commentary on the REC. It appears that they are so loosely connected they have no Reformed roots.
