The global Christian faith has witnessed a fracture of monumental proportions, as the bishops of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON) announced they are cutting all ties with the Anglican Communion and the archbishop of Canterbury.
This decision is one of the largest schisms in Western Christianity since Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation, and is based on what GAFCON deems a rejection of biblical authority.
GAFCON previously described itself as "a global movement, gathering authentic Anglicans, guarding God's gospel, growing orthodox leaders, and generating missional resources, for the glory of God."
GAFCON has declared themselves to be the true Anglican Communion, marking a significant shift in the global Christian landscape.
