Examples of use of GAFCON
1. According to one of the organizers, the purpose of GAFCON is "to emphasize our connection to Jesus‘ life and the Bible, while we stand in prayer in the place where he walked." "We came here, conservatives from around the world, to pray together," says Jim Adams, bishop of Western Kansas, who admits that GAFCON may well lead to a schism in the Anglican Communion.
2. GAFCON has drawn some 1,000 participants: bishops, clergymen, and activists from Anglican congregations in 28 countries, led by Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria.
3. GAFCON is being staged as a rival to next month‘s Lambeth Conference in London, the Anglican Communion‘s main event held every 10 years.
