GAFCON Statement: Primates to miss next meeting
November 24, 2010
The GAFCON/FCA Primates' Council which met in Oxford from 4th - 7th October, 2010 have released a statement from their meeting. Paragraph 5 of the Statement explains that they will not be present at the next Primates' meeting to be held in Ireland:
Paragraph 5: "For the sake of Christ and of His Gospel we can no longer maintain the illusion of normalcy and so we join with other Primates from the Global South in declaring that we will not be present at the next Primates' meeting to be held in Ireland. And while we acknowledge that the efforts to heal our brokenness through the introduction of an Anglican Covenant were well intentioned we have come to the conclusion the current text is fatally flawed and so support for this initiative is no longer appropriate."

The Most Rev'd Gregory Venables, GAFCON/FCA Chair
The Most Rev'd Justice Akrofi, Archbishop, Anglican Province of West Africa
The Most Rev'd Robert Duncan, Archbishop, Anglican Church in North America
