‘Out of Egypt I called my son’

[SPREAD] 5 Feb 2009--Hosea’s reminder (chapter 11, verse 1) to God’s wayward people of their birth as a nation through the exodus from Egypt challenges the Church today to live true to the new birth that we have in the gospel and not be pulled back into captivity by the spirit of the age. The gathering of the GAFCON movement last June and its Jerusalem Declaration represented a decisive rejection of the spiritually compromised control of the Anglican Communion by the Lambeth based instruments of unity. Yet there seems to be little sign of the GAFCON Primates asserting their new found authority and some might even question why they are at Alexandria at all. Are they going back to an ecclesial Egypt?
