GAFCON Chairman blasts “good disagreement” touted by Archbishop Welby

ACNA Archbishop Foley Beach blasted the concept of “good disagreement” touted by the Archbishop of Canterbury in his October letter to GAFCON readers.

While the Anglican Establishment of the West would call us to “get along” and have “good disagreement,” even over basic matters of the faith, the Scriptures call us to uphold truth on all matters pertaining to salvation. Our forefathers and mothers in the faith have left us incredible examples of their unwillingness to sacrifice the teaching of the Bible by replacing it with the latest politically correct social or intellectual determination in faith and morals, said the GAFCON chairman.

Welby is desperate to square the circle in an effort to hold the communion together. In fact, his “gospel” is causing Global South and GAFCON bishops to distance themselves from him and the Lambeth Conference with little hope of restoration or unity.

Welby’s predecessor, Rowan Williams, tried to square the circle with a failed Covenant. Welby, on the other hand, is not out to find theological agreement, but to learn to live with theological disagreement.
