Faithful, orthodox Anglicans within the England have as soon as once more been inspired by the braveness and readability of the leaders of the Gafcon motion. In a Reformation Day Statement, the Primates Council of Gafcon rebuked Justin Welby for his feedback to Alastair Campbell and known as for his private repentance.
“While he could declare to not have modified the doctrine of marriage, the Archbishop of Canterbury has demonstrably modified the doctrine of sin, by selling the sanctification of sin by way of a divine blessing,” they mentioned in an announcement.
The continued, “We are guided by Jesus’ solemn phrases of warning to the Church of Thyatira, as a result of, ‘they tolerate the instructing of Jezebel,’ which endorses sexual immorality. Only judgment awaits Jezebel and all who comply with her, except they repent (Revelation 2:21-22; 22:15). Any toleration, not to mention endorsement, of immorality is liable to God’s judgment.
“For this purpose, in response to his public feedback, we solemnly repeat our name for Archbishop Justin Welby to personally and publicly repent of this denial of his ordination and consecration vows, the place he promised to, “train the doctrine of Christ because the Church of England has acquired it.”
There are not any threats. The majority of the Anglican Communion, represented by Gafcon and the GSFA (Global South Fellowship of Anglicans) have lengthy since rejected the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the opposite ‘Instruments of Communion’ and are getting on with the work of mission, evangelism and church planting.
Instead, there are guarantees to proceed to “champion” the ever-growing Anglican Network in Europe, as “Gafcon’s authentically-Anglican structural provision for individuals who can’t by conscience stay inside the historic, revisionist constructions,” and “help for The Alliance as they search to face agency in defence of biblical marriage inside the Church of England.”
The Primates opened their assertion with phrases from Jude’s letter – a letter which fits on to talk of the scoffers that trigger division and calling on the devoted to construct themselves up within the holy religion whereas displaying mercy to those that doubt, saving others by snatching them out of the fireplace and displaying mercy with worry to some.
The assertion ended by declaring afresh to all these in England who “contend for the religion that was as soon as for all delivered to all of the saints” that “you aren’t alone”.
It is unlikely that this assertion will change the Archbishop of Canterbury’s thoughts, however ought to he repent and return to believing and instructing the Doctrine of Christ because the Church of England has acquired it, he too would discover he was not alone.
