GAFCON is still very much alive and well, and it is still resisting the apostasy taking place among far too many Anglicans. They have just released this communique: “The Future Has Arrived”.

Developing world Christians lead the Anglicans to biblical faithfulness:

In a piece I just penned yesterday I mentioned how the Anglican Church in the UK is very quickly losing its way. Actually, it has been going downhill for quite some time now, and recent developments are simply the icing on the cake – or rather the final nails in the coffin. As I wrote in that piece:

One of the latest and most spectacular examples being the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. As Christian Concern in the UK said about this when it was announced earlier this month:

“Bishop of London Sarah Mullally was announced this morning as the Church of England’s (CofE) new Archbishop of Canterbury. She will become the first ever female Archbishop in the CofE, which will itself lead to criticisms from many conservative and traditional Christians in England and around the world. She has called the Holy Spirit ‘she’ and voted in favour of blessings for same-sex relationships, calling it “a moment of hope for the Church”. She has described herself as pro-choice on abortion.”

Yep, another own-goal, to use soccer terminology. And then soon after this madness, we had the homosexual dean of the Canterbury Cathedral graffiti the ancient building’s interior with woke and leftist nonsense in support of “marginalized communities” and the like. https://billmuehlenberg.com/2025/10/16/on-the-fate-of-europe-and-the-church/

Those are just two recent examples of many that demonstrate the downward spiral of Western Anglicans. Thankfully not everyone is cheering on this decline. Some 17 years ago I wrote about an exciting development with the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) gathered in Jerusalem. I said this in the article:

The week-long Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) has just finished. The thousand-plus Anglicans met in Jerusalem as a protest to the July Lambeth Conference in the UK, and the failure of the Archbishop of Canterbury to strongly stand for Christian orthodoxy, especially on the issue of homosexuality.

The delegates at GAFCON – who represent more than 35 million Anglicans worldwide – reaffirmed the importance of the authority of Christ and the Word of God. They also reaffirmed God’s intention for human sexuality. As a closing resolution, they produced the 700-word document, “The Jerusalem Declaration”. It is a solid proclamation of orthodox Christian teachings, and a renewed affirmation of taking the Bible seriously on matters of sexuality….

Many African Anglican leaders were present at the conference. Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda said that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, was a friend, and a godly and nice man.
