Anglicanorum Transmutatio

The primates or senior archbishops of GAFCON met in London. GAFCON is the Global Anglican Future Conference ( GAFCON website). Simply speaking, GAFCON represents much of the biblically-oriented, traditional, and orthodox Anglican Christians in the world. It is a movement attempting to get the Anglican Communion back in line with the Gospel. Simple, is it not?

The primates met between April 13 and April 17, 2015 and issued a communiqué at its closing. One item was the acceptance of the Most Reverend Foley Beach, Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), as a full member of GAFCON primates council. This recognition by the majority of the primates in all of the Anglican Communion is in direct contradiction to a lack of recognition of Beach and the ACNA by the Archbishop of Canterbury whose office is gradually becoming the titular head of the Anglican Communion.

Anyway, GAFCON, in my view, is a worldwide evangelical movement whose purpose is to bring people to Jesus the Messiah as expressed in a traditional Anglican manner.

Because the GAFCON primates’ meeting was held in London, it could be viewed as an “in your face” slam at the Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury, and the many liberal-leaning bishops within the Church of England. Indeed, a counter church is in formation in England. Perhaps this new start-up Anglican Church in England will replace the established Church of England - the Parliament could then, out of necessity, dissolve the Church of England. It would be a shame if it came to that, considering the Church of England's history. But, all state churches should disappear.

GAFCON is the operative element in the Anglican Realignment.
