GAFCON

There was a post-GAFCON briefing at All Souls

and it was great to see JI Packer give his testimony of his expulsion from the diocese of New Westminster, Canada

Also the archbishop of the southern cone giving testimony of the churches there and how the 'churches of the old west' need to take the Word of God seriously and not be content with the once a week 20 min sermon

As well as the archbishop of Uganda affirming we need to be ready to die for the faith to be passed from one generation to the next

I have no idea what on earth all these meetings will surmount to, but in the words of archbishop Jensen... even heresy can be a good thing - if it leads to godliness

On a side note..
the usual nonsense continues:

Quick response by the rector:
