JERUSALEM: GAFCON Leaders Call for Renewal of Anglicanism

http://www.globalsouthanglican.org/index.php/comments/leaders_call_for_renewal_of_anglicanism/

[Global South Anglican] 20 June 2008--Leaders of the Global Anglican Future Conference reaffirmed the historic faith saying it is the actions of North American liberals that has caused the rift in the Communion with Sydney Archbishop Peter Jensen saying that the consecration of a homosexual bishop has made the situation “irreversible” in the Anglican Communion.

Jensen told a press conference that for some GAFCON will be an alternative to Lambeth, but some conservatives will go to one conference and some will go to both conferences (Lambeth and GAFCON). He said GAFCON is not a further cause for schism.

“What has happened in the Anglican Communion has rocked us all.”

Jensen said a report in The Telegraph newspaper that Anglican Communion leaders meeting in Amman had formally declared the end of the worldwide Anglican Communion was inaccurate.
The report said GAFCON leaders could no longer be associated with liberals who tolerate homosexuality.
