Archbishop of Canterbury responds to GAFCON statement
I have in the past quoted to some in the Communion who would call themselves radical the words of the Apostle in I Cor.11.33: ‘wait for one another’. I would say the same to those in whose name this statement has been issued. An impatience at all costs to clear the Lord’s field of the weeds that may appear among the shoots of true life (Matt.13.29) will put at risk our clarity and effectiveness in communicating just those evangelical and catholic truths which the GAFCON statement presents.

This website was set up after the 3rd South South Encounter in Oct '05 to carry the materials from the event and to follow-up work as laid out in the communiqués, especially the Third Trumpet. It has since become both a news site and a theological forum for issues of concern to Global South Provinces. Apart from official releases, the views of contributors here do not necessary represent that of the Global South Steering Committee. For more info on this site, click here.
