Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we develop new structures for the Global Anglican Communion, the Gafcon Primates have dissolved the Gafcon Primates Council,<\/strong> which has faithfully led and served the Gafcon movement since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a world where most organizations and individuals are concerned about keeping power and authority, the Gafcon Primates Council has made an unprecedented decision to share its stewardship<\/strong> of the Global Anglican Communion by creating the Global Anglican Council <\/strong>which includes primates, advisors, and guarantors, which will include bishops, clergy, and lay members each with full voting privileges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This expanded Council reflects the willingness of the Primates to share their authority<\/strong> with a wider group of global Anglican leaders, both lay and clergy. While the Chairman of the Council will be a Primate, he will not be primus inter pares (first amongst equals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Believing that the current Instruments of Communion no longer meet the needs of the majority of Anglicans around the world, the Global Anglican Communion is to be led by a conciliar structure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p> A council to lead the future. https:\/\/t.co\/CPJDc5LRqv<\/a><\/p>— GAFCON (@gafconference) March 5, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
