Uganda: New Era for Anglican Church

What was GAFCON about?

We determined to start a spiritual movement centred on Christ as the head of the Church and the Bible as the basis of our faith while accepting the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We had both the clergy and zealous lay Christians. It is a movement that will yield results similar to the East African Revival of the Balokole movement within the Anglican Church.

When will you implement GAFCON’s resolutions?

We have been practising all these resolutions like opposing sexual pervasions, using the Bible as the basis of our faith, evangelism, accepting the guidance of the Holy Spirit and maintaining the lordship of Jesus.

Besides homosexuality, what other practices set you apart from the Lambeth group?

Homosexuality is one of the symptoms of the disease. The disease is rejecting the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit by doing things on basis of corrupted human wisdom, leading to false doctrines. These people believe Jesus is not the only way to heaven.

How big is the Anglican community that subscribes to the GAFCON resolutions?

We comprise the biggest percentage of the worldwide Anglican community: 40 million out of 77 million Anglicans. One thousand one hundred-forty eight delegates representing 25 countries attended.

    “I was invited to London …and surprisingly the meeting with three bishops turned into a bigger meeting of 800 bishops from different parishes of England”

    I doubt it! Clergy , laity but not 800 Bishops! (unless he is a presbyterian where the minister or teaching elder is the Bishop of the congregation)
