Conservative Anglicans go forward

Gafcon has again made known its rejection of Canterbury, stating that Canterbury’s “Instruments” have “failed to uphold the doctrine and discipline of the Anglican Communion”.

The declaration followed Gafcon’s G26 global conference held in Abuja, Nigeria, and states that: “the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates’ Meeting” are the objects of its rejection.

The conservative and worldwide Anglican grouping cites the provision of liturgical resources for same-sex civil marriages – specifically the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) programme – and the invitation of bishops, to Canterbury, who have “embraced or promoted practices contrary to Scripture.”
