All the above seems pretty straight forward and I can\u2019t see anything happening to change the outcomes I\u2019ve described. But what then? Well, on the basis of how things have played out in almost every other western province of the Anglican Church I think we\u2019re going to see the following:<\/p>\n
In one sense the answer to 4. will be partly academic. Either way I don\u2019t expect conservatives to continue to pursue fellowship with those who have shown no desire to maintain catholicity, undermine the doctrine and discipline of the church and won\u2019t uphold their ordination vows<\/a>.<\/p>\n So what will the Anglican Church of Australia look like in 2021? My best guess is that we will have a sadly fractured church. Whether we are meeting nationally as the entire church<\/em> depends on whether the new Primate will be robust in upholding the position of General Synod. If we don\u2019t meet in this way then expect the bonds of fellowship within the GAFCON movement to be only strengthened and expressed more formally.<\/p>\n
