    Claims today that the global leader of the Anglican Church is out of step with God.

    The Primates of the Global Anglican Fellowship (GAFCON), meeting in Kigali Rwanda, have said that Archbishop Justin Welby has,

    ‘Departed from the authentic exercise of his office by normalising and praising those who have departed from biblical teaching and practice…and giving equal place to practices contrary to biblical norms, as Anglicans have received them. We urge him to repent.’ (https://bit.ly/3DmPVas)

    And the Archbishop of Canterbury’s explanations are described as 'disingenuous if not duplicitous'.

    The GAFCON Primates statement comes on top of the statement from the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, which if anything, is even stronger. The Global South Fellowship says, ‘Archbishop Welby’s first position is lamentable; his second is repugnant to our understanding of the authority and clarity of Holy Scripture.
