Conservative leaders will discuss a plan that could result in a historic split
A significant schism within the Anglican Communion is set to deepen this week as a coalition of conservative churches convenes in Nigeria to elect a leader intended to rival the Archbishop of Canterbury. This unprecedented move is poised to exacerbate a widening theological split within the global church. The Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), comprising conservative churches predominantly from Africa and Asia, staunchly opposes what it views as liberal shifts within the Communion. These include the ordination of women and greater inclusion of LGBTQ+ members. The group announced its Global Primates Council would elect a chairman, to be revealed on Thursday, "to serve as primus inter pares (first among equals) to replace the role traditionally held by the Archbishop of Canterbury". Formed in 2008, GAFCON asserts it now represents a majority of the world's practising Anglicans. The wider Anglican Communion consists of 46 autonomous churches, with the Church of England historically recognised as its "mother church".
