Gafcon will provide support for evangelicals in and out of the Church of England. “These warnings were blatantly and deliberately disregarded and now without repentance this tear cannot be mended.” “Despite 25 years of persistent warnings by most Anglican Primates, repeated departures from the authority of God’s Word have torn the fabric of the Communion,” stated the primates. Their Kigali Commitment calls for repentance by progressives within the Anglican Communion.
This renders his leadership role in the Anglican Communion entirely indefensible. This failure of church discipline has been compounded by the current Archbishop of Canterbury who has himself welcomed the provision of liturgical resources to bless these practices contrary to Scripture. Successive Archbishops of Canterbury have failed to guard the faith by inviting bishops to Lambeth who have embraced or promoted practices contrary to Scripture. The Instruments of Communion have failed to maintain true communion based on the Word of God and shared faith in Christ… We have no confidence that the Archbishop of Canterbury nor the other Instruments of Communion led by him (the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council, and the Primates’ Meetings) are able to provide a godly way forward that will be acceptable to those who are committed to the truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency, and authority of Scripture. The primates gathered at the fourth Gafcon conference stated:
The chair of St Augustine is now empty, as far as leaders representing an estimated 85 percent of the Anglican Communion are concerned.
#BREAKAWAY MOVEMENT UPDATE#
Update (April 21): Conservative primates gathered in Kigali today withdrew their recognition of Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, as the “first among equals.”
