[Anglican Communion News Service] Delegates at the third Global Anglican Future Conference, or GAFCON, which met in Jerusalem last week, endorsed a communiqué on their final day that called on the Archbishop of Canterbury not to invite to the Lambeth Conference in 2020 bishops from provinces that have endorsed “sexual practices which are in contradiction to the teaching of Scripture.”
The communiqué said that unless that happened, and unless bishops from independent breakaway churches that are not in the Anglican Communion – the Anglican Church of North America and the Anglican Church of Brazil – were invited too, it would “urge GAFCON members to decline the invitation to attend Lambeth 2020 and all other meetings of the Instruments of Communion.”
But ahead of the meeting, a significant number of primates associated with the GAFCON movement made clear their intention to attend.
