The communique issued by the GAFCON Primates Council following its meeting in Sydney 30 April – 2 May shows what a vital role GAFCON is now playing in the Anglican Communion.
With the addition of a network for the suffering church, GAFCON now has ten networks which are increasingly catalysts for what a global Communion should be doing – equipping its members to fulfil the Great Commission and share one another’s burdens.
New structures are also appearing as GAFCON acts creatively to keep faithful Anglicans in the Communion. The Primates welcomed and recognised a new extra-provincial diocese in New Zealand following the decision of the Province to allow the blessing of same-sex marriages, with the GAFCON Lawyers Network playing an important advisory role in the development of its Constitution and Canons.
