GAFCON Chairman’s October Letter
from Archbishop Foley Beach:
Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
As I write to you, my brothers and sisters, it is the fall season here in North America. Like you, we are being challenged by the onslaught of the pandemic, but we have not lost hope and we are confident in the faithfulness of the Lord that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 10:35), and that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39). Please continue to pray for the Lord to relieve the world of this pandemic, guide the medical and health officials and the politicians in their decisions, and bring healing to those who have the coronavirus.
As you may already know, our General Secretary, Archbishop Ben Kwashi is undergoing treatment for cancer. He is positive and upbeat. Please continue to pray for healing for Archbishop Ben and for Gloria as they face this serious challenge.
In the West we have seen in the past 60 years a shift from modernity to post-modernity which has brought a staggering sea-change in the popular conception of truth, and this has had a dramatic impact on our societies. As Pilate asked Jesus before he was crucified: “What is truth?” It now seems that anything can answer this question in the West. Jesus said, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life” (John 14.6). Today’s post-modern prophets say, “He could be a way, he could possibly have a truth, and everyone needs to discover in their own life what life means for them.” As a result, the Church in the West and Western Anglicanism have declined and decayed away from Biblical Truth and the authority of Scripture. Fortunately, this has not yet totally infected the Global South and the East, but this philosophy is on the move!
