A House Divided: The Anglican Communion's Great Reset

The global Christian faith has witnessed a fracture of monumental proportions, as the bishops of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON) announced they are cutting ties with the Anglican Communion and the archbishop of Canterbury.

This move is one of the largest schisms in Western Christianity since Martin Luther launched the Protestant Reformation, and is driven by GAFCON's perception of a rejection of biblical authority within the Anglican Communion.

GAFCON previously described itself as "a global movement, gathering authentic Anglicans, guarding God's gospel, growing orthodox leaders, and generating missional resources, for the glory of God."

The bishops of GAFCON have declared themselves to be the true Anglican Communion, marking a significant shift in the global Christian landscape.
