We recently published a link to Feminism – A Form of Ecclesial Self-Harm. The Appointment of Sarah Mullaly as Archbishop of Canterbury (video, 9:41). An interesting piece published on TCW today, an extract:
“The Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (also known as Gafcon) represent the Anglican faith in Africa. Their response was to declare publicly that they would no longer send delegates to Church meetings in the United Kingdom, no longer consider the Archbishop of Canterbury as first among equals or a seat of authority to which they deferred, and no longer consider themselves in the same communion as the Bishops and clergy of the Church of England within England.
Perhaps even more tellingly, they asserted that they were the true Anglican communion, more loyal to the instructions of the Bible and Anglican interpretation of those than priests in England. There’s a subtle but powerful distinction there – they were saying not that they had broken away from an Anglican vision of Biblical instruction and Christian identity but that the Church in England had done so.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
Given that Gafcon represents 85% of Anglicans it would appear their claim is true. Of course in the “rump” no one will admit to the whiff of “Imperialism” from the Church hierarchy here as they tell the former colonials that the things they took on board as true are now all junked on a whim. The imperial Anglican Church can continue its insular navel gazing as it slides quickly into irrelevance. Who knows maybe Gafcon will find themselves sending missionaries to England and California!
