What is GAFCON?
‘GAFCON’ stands for Global Anglican Future Conference.
The GAFCON movement is a global family of authentic Anglicans standing together to retain and restore the Bible to the heart of the Anglican Communion. Its mission is to guard the unchanging, transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ and to proclaim Him to the world. GAFCON is founded on the Holy Word, bound together by the Jerusalem Statement and Declaration of 2008, and led by a Primates Council, which represents the majority of the world’s Anglicans.
What is GAFCON ABCI?
‘GAFCON ABCI’ stands for The GAFCON Anglican Bishops Council of India.
GAFCON being a global movement within the Communion, the GAFCON Primates recognized the establishment of an Anglican Bishops Council able to represent the interests of the Anglican Churches to the Indian Government under the leadership of Archbishop John Sathiyakumar, but including any or all Bishops who werewilling to commit to following the affirmations contained in the Constitution of the Anglican Bishops Council. These Primates represent over 70 million of the 90 million Anglicans throughout the world.
