The official RU-vid channel for Gafcon, the global movement of bible-based, orthodox Anglicans in gospel mission. We exist to guard and proclaim the unchanging gospel in a changing world. We seek to proclaim Christ faithfully to the nations. During this time of crisis due to the Coronavirus, many churches around the world are taking the opportunity to be creative with technology and other means to share the Gospel and engage with their congregation and community. Gafcon is finding that many parishes and Provinces are learning from each other and adapting these ideas. Live-streaming, which has a steep learning curve, is only one means by which churches are using to adapt, so Gafcon has put together a dynamic, ongoing list of ideas from around the world so that you can see what others are doing: www.gafcon.org/news/the-church-in-action-during-crisis
DID YOU KNOW? GAFCON IS MADE UP OF TWO WORDS. GAF MEANING INITIALISM OF GIVE A FUCK. AND CON IS A TRICK IN WHICH SOMEONE DECEIVES YOU BY TELLING YOU SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE.
It is a brave decision to make. My husband has just made the same decision because of the way the CofE is going. He also in all good conscience could no longer support an institution that has so far removed itself from the gospels. Unfortunately he didn't have a supporting Bishop, in fact he took umbrage at his resignation, so found a loophole in Cannon law, because my husband was too young to retire so he decided to continue his ministry by supporting the grieving and become a funeral celebrant he was forced to resined his holy orders. My husband took that decision as he feels that his calling and holy orders came from God and to Him alone he will be a servant and Priest. I pray each day for the CofE that it comes to its senses .
If he is a Bible man, he knows the meaning of the Greek word Baptise is ‘Immersion’. Ie an identification of going down into the death of Christ and Rising up as at the Résurrection. Baptism is only for those who believe and confess Jesus as their Lord. Infant baptism isn’t scriptural
And it is more than a COnference - the Movement holds meetings regularly between its 5 yearly conferences. It encourages faithful Christians around the globe, consecrates men as bishops, forms dioceses, recognises Provinces. THe list of work goes on, encouraging the faithful to proclaim Christ to the nations and to hold fast and unswervingly to God's revealed word.
I do not know who will see this or when . I am writing from England. I want to tell my African brothers and sisters how good it is for us here in England to know you are there and being true Anglicans and Christians. In England now , they promote paganism in the name of the environment in churches. I think if you saw my local Church [which i do not attend ] you would be truly shocked. What you would be shocked about is how they have the cheek to claim they are Anglicans. I think of all the great African Bishops and also some US leadership [as symbolised by Anglican unscripted] and it is a tremendous help to me. Feel free to plant as many Churches as you can in the UK , i know its not that straight forward] .We have the free church of England and some others. Many of us here are a bit jealous of you , we do not even have Churches to go to , there are tears rolling down my face as i type. I wish i could meet some GAFCON one day. Thanks for being there for us Africa.
Please pray for France as we start to plant AMiE churches in this land. Very secular and although it does not know it yeat desperately needs Holy Scripture to guide it each day. We remain true Anglican, English speaking and outward-looking. Chris x
God is good all the time thank you for the light and guide ing me in the right direction in life I will follow Jesus my whole life through I thank you lord for your blood and sacrifice my loyalty is not to man but to you thank you Jesus I love you
.. ... ... The Church of England - a church of poofs and child-molesting priests. The Church of England is an organisation set up by the Act of Supremacy 1534 because of political reasons (King Henry VIII's nuptual problems about Anne Boleyn and resulting tiff with Pope Clement VII). The Church of England cruelly martyred faithful catholics in a horrible evil manner shortly after enactment of the Act of Supremacy. The Church of England is thus a bad evil organisation that has lost its relevance in snobbery and self-righteousness. Now we have an incompetent Archbishop of Canterbury that has managed to split the Church of England in respect of GAFCON; what an idiot Archbishop - he should be ashamed of himself and repent. In comparison, the Russia Orthodox Church is popular in Russia and the Russia state is against gay pride. The Russian Orthodox Church is faithful to the Bible and respects marriage to be a union between a man and a woman only, whereas the Church of England is heading towards fetishness and sodomy with its gay agenda. Good riddance if the Church of England fades into oblivion; few people will shed a tear for a deviant evil and dysfunctional pseudo-religious bureaucratic organisation, top heavy with excess bishops (there are more bishops now than there were in Victorian times - a cull of ineffective bishops is desperately required). Christians must return to the true Catholic Church and Orthodox Church and dump this terrible Church of England.

You did the Colossians 1-3 readings at Gafcon that had had me transfixed. You brought Holy Scripture to life in a way I have never seen before and will not soon forget. Shalom!
Read this mans book. Its called " Neither bomb or Bullet". When youre a Christian leader in Nigeria you become a target for Islamist terrorists and Benjeman has been targetted many times. But here he is still preaching the gospel. Pray for him and his wife Gloria and the persecuted Chirch of Nigeria.
I’m listening to this September 2023. So much has happened since December 2020. The Getty’s have written songs that have really helped me get through these times. Thank you 🙏
The Anglican communion need men like Ben. Whilst the CoE attempt to introduce gender neutral Gods, same sex blessings and support fot Pride, the Anglicans of Northern Nigeria are being massacred, kidnapped and their children used as sex slaves. His book is called.. Neither bomb nor bullet. Self explanatory.
I just saw this. What a powerful yet tender and heartfelt farewell. I remember when Abp. Foley Beach, who was then my parish priest here in the US, gave us a similar message. God has wonderfully blessed the church we planted. May he bless Anchor Anglican as well. You have such a beautiful town. The perfect place to "fish for men".
Let’s change the Narrative! Everything that we type into our browser comes back at us, We need to change the algorithm for ourselves…and create good news feed back… 1: Biden impeached hunter jailed. 2:WHO and WEF Collapsed 3:Ukraine /Russia agree peace. EU collapses. Christianity On the Rise. Regards 🙏 Accentuate the positive! Eliminate the Negative!

The C of E has been my expression of worship, though hot 'high' Anglo-Catholicism, since I came to the Lord at 16. I am now 62, and have had a very chequered Christian life for various reasons, but the Holy Spirit hasn't given up on me, and turned me around at 42, with a question; *"Whom will you serve?"* It's still not easy, and and still have had, and have, problems. Still, I go forward in Faith in Christ. However, I am vexed by the way the C of E has been going since 2001, from the top down, and now find myself coming up to a cross roads - leave or stay? I cannot leave, because I feel I would be 'punishing' the felliowship I am at, and that had been for 30-odd years, benn on the PCC three times, and on my second iteration as a churchwarden. I did consider a Readership role, but got turned down at that time. Now, I feel I have missed a bullet. My church is facing another Church Vacancy (Interregnum), which we are prepping for, and I am concerned with who, or *what* we may end up with. And I am now leaning towards being pro-Gafcon, but we had a change of bishop in our Diocese, the last one became very woke and who appointed a pro-LBGTQA+, who was in an active relationship and who is part of a charity which is trying to get the C of E to normalse such things, and worse. Right now, certain churches (6/2023) have set up gay shrines in them, which G-d explicitly calls "Abominations of Desolations"! As CW, I wouldn't allow it, and my fellowship and PCC tends to agree with me. But it will change in the near future. So, what do I do - go or stay? I am staying for now, maybe for the next 5 years as CW. But I won't stay quiet - never have done, I always ask, even challenge the zeitgeist, or *worldly compromise,* for it's own sake, if it doesn't reflect the complete Counsel of G-d. G-d is shaking up His own House, and we will *all* have to choose 'whom we will serve'. As for me and my house, I will serve, even imperfectly, the Lord.
*Addendum-* the pro-LBGTQA+ advocating Archdeacon didn't last more than a year and he resigned after not being recieved by many C of E churches where I live. Our new one is, in my view, a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing, prophetically-minded person, as I had a good chat with him, so maybe things are looking up! Hallelujah and shalom.
