THERE was more description of GAFCON as a movement at a press conference on Tuesday, after an address by the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali.

Dr Nazir-Ali had ended his address to the conference by telling participants: “If you are anything, you are the beginnings, the miraculous beginnings, you could even say, of an ecclesial movement for the sake of the gospel and the renewal of Christ’s Church.”

He shared the subsequent press conference with Professor Stephen Noll, who is one of those canvassing views of GAFCON participants. He reported that, “Number one, it is being seen as more than a conference: it’s the beginning of a movement; and, secondly, it’s a movement within the Anglican Communion.” the rest
