Gafcon plan: Theological allies remain silent

Gafcon gathering in Jerusalem, 2018

Conservative groupings in the Anglican Communion are remaining seemingly tight-lipped about Gafcon's recently-announced plans for a complete denominational reset.

On 16 October, the Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon), which represents many orthodox and Bible-believing individuals and churches, declared itself the "Global Anglican Communion" - as opposed to the existing Anglican Communion traditionally centred on Canterbury.

However, theologically aligned groupings, such as the Global South Fellowship of Anglicans (GSFA), and EFAC (the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion), both of which share some overlap in membership and beliefs with Gafcon, appear to be maintaining a public silence about the plans, at least for the time being.
