GAFCON, Gnosticism and Gangrene

[Virtue Online] 17 Mar 2008--If an Anglican grouping were to be described by a supposed evangelical as post-modern, promoting 'a Gnostic gospel that renders the Cross in vain', it would naturally be assumed that reference was being made to a determinedly revisionist body such as The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the United States.

But in fact this is how Dr Michael Poon, Director of the Centre for the Study of Christianity in Asia at Singapore's Trinity Theological College, has recently described GAFCON. http://tinyurl.com/2s78x2 This bizarre claim is made in the course of his recent essay on the evolution of the term 'Global South' in its Anglican context.
