Orthodox Anglicans around the world are reacting with dismay after the election of the new Archbishop of Wales, Cherry Vann, who is openly in a same-sex relationship.

The Biblically orthodox Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) called Vann’s election “another painful nail in the coffin of Anglican orthodoxy.”

Laurent Mbanda, Chairman of the GAFCON Primates Council, wrote: “By celebrating this election and her immoral same-sex relationship, the Canterbury Communion has again bowed to worldly pressure that subverts God’s good Word.”
