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.  The Bishops of the ABCI seek to work together in this significant step which reinforces the nature of the Anglican Communion whosemembers affirm the Jerusalem Declaration as the true inheritors of the Apostolic and Reformation faith of our forefathers.  As such, the ABCI extends its invitation to all faithful Anglican Bishops in India.
