GAFCON Chairman, Archbishop Laurent Mbanda, issued “The Abuja Affirmation”, a definitive statement about the decisions and affirmations made during G26.
As members of the ACNA, several points from Archbishop Mbanda’s message are particularly relevant to our shared life:
- A Confessional Identity: Our unity is found in our shared confession, the Jerusalem Declaration, rather than in institutional ties to the See of Canterbury.
- Principled Disengagement: Our leaders are called to a clear separation from aspects of communion that have compromised the Gospel. We serve the Lord, not an institutional relic.
- The Global Anglican Council: We celebrate the election of Archbishop Laurent Mbanda as Chair, Archbishop Miguel Uchôa as Deputy Chair, and our own Bishop Paul Donison as General Secretary of this newly constituted Council.
Our collective and primary desire is to remain as faithful stewards of Anglican doctrine and relationships that have been passed down to us for this generation and the next. The Abuja Affirmation confirms that we are not alone in this mission. We are part of a global household of faith that is apostolic in its foundation and global in its reach.
