World’s orthodox Anglican leaders issue statement
Orthodox Anglican leaders from around the world gathered in Bermuda April 5-9 for a meeting of the Primates Council of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans. Representing 34 million Anglicans, which is a majority of the entire active membership of the Anglican Communion worldwide, they issued a strong statement in support of traditional Anglican doctrine:
The Anglican Communion will only be able to fulfill its gospel mandate if it understands itself to be a community gathered around a confession of faith rather than an organisation that has its primary focus on institutional loyalty.
The statement is part of a 750-word communique from the orthodox primates that continues to set the foundation for what appears to be an historic breaking apart of the worldwide Anglican Communion with the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans representing the traditionalists, The Episcopal Church in the United States leading the modernists, and the Archbishop of Canterbury in the middle.
