Global Anglican group backs away from split with Anglican Communion
Though viewed by many as schismatic, the Global Anglican Future Conference, a group of conservative Anglicans, says it is not leaving the worldwide Anglican Communion. Instead, the movement says it is committed to renewing the 85-million-member communion from within.
GAFCON members from Africa, Europe, America, and Asia met in London April 13–17.
“The members of our churches stand at the heart of the communion, which is why we are committing to its renewal,” the GAFCON Primate Council said in a statement at the end of the conference. “We belong to the mainstream, and we are moving forward.”
