The Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches (GSFA) has urged the Church of England to appoint someone who upholds the orthodox Anglican faith and not to marginalise orthodox voices in the Anglican Communion in the process, as it seeks to appoint the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
The GSFA has sent an open letter to Lord Evans, chair of the Crown Nominations Commission for the next Archbishop of Canterbury, urging that the next Archbishop of Canterbury should be someone who will uphold the orthodox Anglican faith "shared by the great majority of global Anglicans".
The letter highlights that following the General Synod’s decision in February 2023 to move ahead with the Prayers of Love and Faith and "turn away from the Church’s scriptural and historic teaching on marriage and human sexuality", the GSFA released a statement saying that they could "no longer recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury as the ‘primus inter pares’ spiritual leader of the Communion".
