Global South Conference 2021 – 8th Trumpet – A call to spiritual arms
by David Virtue, VOL:
More than 90 delegates from 16 provinces including primates, archbishops, bishops and clergy sent a resounding message to the Anglican world — they would not tolerate any departure from ‘the faith once for all delivered to the saints.’
In a Communique to the Anglican Communion, they said this:
“The Global South Fellowship will continue to be a ‘voice’ (Isa. 40:3) calling the Anglican Communion to be faithful to the authority of Scripture and the historic faith handed down to us by our Anglican heritage. In the power of the Spirit, we will remain steadfast against compromise and pressures from the surrounding culture. In God’s grace, the Global South Fellowship will support and nurture Anglican provinces, dioceses and networks of churches that hold on to the orthodox teaching of holy Scripture across our worldwide Communion.”
“At last, the possibility exists for a communion that is fully confessional and fully conciliar led by those who are determined to be a voice for biblical faithfulness within the larger Anglican Communion! For biblically faithful congregations and dioceses in heterodox Provinces, this is another beacon of hope,” wrote Canon Phil Ashey of the American Anglican Council.
VOL was invited as an observer and the only reporter to this unique 4-day Zoom conference call of Anglican leaders. It was an honor and privilege.
The leaders were absolutely clear that the definition of Anglican “belonging” (Communion) is based on orthodoxy rather than geography (Canterbury) (section. 10).
