[allAfrica.com] 15 Sep 2008--The split between conservative and the liberal Anglican provinces torn over the place of homosexuality in the church appears to be official.
The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FCA) has been formed, following the first meeting of the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) Primates Council in London. A secretariat was also created by the conservative primates who met from August 20-22.
According to a press release issued on August 29, 2008, the council will be assisted by an advisory board to 'authenticate and recognise confessing Anglican jurisdictions, clergy and congregations and to encourage all Anglicans to promote the gospel and defend the faith'.
"We believe that the Jerusalem Declaration provides for a viable way of helping to deal with the crisis in the Anglican Communion brought about through the disobedience to Scripture by some in North America and elsewhere," said the statement.
