GAFCON pressed from all sides

by Charles Raven, Anglican Ink: ‘The deadly ‘virus’ of homosexuality has infiltrated the ACNA’ he alleged, and this had ‘serious implications’ for Archbishop Foley Beach’s leadership of GAFCON (the Global Anglican Future Conference, made up of orthodox believers unhappy with Anglicanism’s liberal sexual trajectory). But a careful reading of the Nigerian statement shows that it is based on a misunderstanding of an internal debate in the ACNA about the pastoral care of people who are same-sex...

Are Orthodox Anglicans in Danger of Tearing Apart over Limits to Homosexual Acceptance?

A statement put out by the ACNA College of Bishops this week, attempted to put a...
