GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference) is the most significant movement within the Anglican Church globally representing 50 million of the world’s 70 million Anglicans.
GAFCON aims to remain faithful to Jesus and the scriptures, and not blow with and bow to the cultural winds.
The GAFCON Primates Council resolved last week in Sydney to hold a global conference of bishops just six weeks before the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lambeth Conference.
The GAFCON Bishops conference will serve Bishops who won’t participate in Lambeth because of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s decision to invite Provinces which have formally abandoned the teaching of Jesus in the area of sexuality.
The new leaders of GAFCON, Primate’s Council Chair Archbishop Foley Beach (of the Anglican Church in North America) and General Secretary Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi (of Jos, Nigeria) are focused on sustà ining the future of GAFCON and the Anglican Church.
