The Gafcon movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.
BREAKING: Global Anglicanism Split in Two Today
Anglicanism has just split in two. This video lays out the details.
Analysis: GAFCON Creates Global Anglican Communion
Boldly announcing that “the future has arrived,” GAFCON, the Global South-based conservative renewal movement also known as the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, declared the creation of a “Global Anglican Communion” in an October 16 communiqué by its chairman, Archbishop Laurent Mbanda of Rwanda.
A house divided: The Anglican communion’s great reset
In one of the largest schisms in Western Christianity since Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation, the global Christian faith has witnessed a fracture of monumental proportions.

Church of England halts plans for standalone same-sex blessing services
Bishops in the Church of England have decided not to move ahead with a trial of standalone services of blessing for same-sex couples.

Anglican Catholic Church Terminates Communion with UECNA After Archbishop Haverland Rescinds Intercommunion
A rupture has opened between the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) and the United Episcopal Church of North America (UECNA) after Archbishop Mark Haverland, Metropolitan of the ACC’s Original Province, announced the rescission of the longstanding intercommunion agreement between the two bodies. This decision was communicated in a letter Archbishop Haverland sent to Archbishop Peter Robinson on August 1, 2025.
The Affirmation of St. Louis
For those who are unfamiliar with the Affirmation of St. Louis, I have provided a link to a PDF of the 1977 document, with two revisions made by the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) in 2014, on the ACC website.
The Free Church of England Plays with Fire
In this article written in 2015 I draw attention to a number of problem areas of the Affirmation of St. Louis, identified by the late Peter Toon.
Now Christian nationalists claim we’re having a revival
As the Christian church loses credibility worldwide due to egregious politicking, Christian supremacists across the nation are tripping over themselves with excitement about a more positive story line they see: Revival.
Although every other metric shows the church in America in numerical decline, these pumped-up Pollyannas see things differently.
‘We’re Saving Christianity. We’re Saving God’—Eric Trump Says His Father Will Get to Heaven by Ending Wars
While promoting his new book “Under Seige,” presidential son Eric Trump made controversial comments about his father’s MAGA movement and why he believes President Donald Trump is heaven bound. Speaking to conservative commentator Benny Johnson on Oct. 14, the president’s second-born son addressed “how much better humanity and our world is” with his father in power.
A stark contradiction exists within the Trump administration’s rhetoric and its actions, creating a tragic irony for some of the world’s most vulnerable Christians.
While publicly positioning itself as a staunch defender of persecuted Christians (especially domestic evangelicals), the administration’s stringent and inhumane immigration policies are leading to the deportation of numerous Christians back to the very persecutions and dangers they fled. In many cases, these have led or inevitably will lead to fatal consequences.
The World Doesn’t Need You to Be Angry
Every so often, I find myself drawn to one specific book of the Bible. No matter how many times I read it, I can’t get away from it. Most often, that’s been the Psalms. But recently, it’s been 1 Thessalonians. While not being one of the more popular epistles, this letter and it’s encouragements for enduring perseverance, questions about anti-Christs, and calls for personal holiness in the last days, is one I’m stuck in (in a good way).
And it’s especially that call to holiness that keeps me pouring over the letter’s words, as he reminded the Thessalonians that their conduct affected their witness.
The Little Weeds
It’s funny, isn’t it, that in a place devoted to growing and caring for plants, one of the most consistent jobs of all is killing them? But it must be done. The weeds are relentless. If we didn’t kill them, they would overwhelm our vegetables, our paths, and everything we’ve worked to develop. They have to die, so the garden can live. Yet no matter how many times we kill them, we know one thing for certain: they’ll be back.
