Here is it the big list of GAFCON links. You might not agree with every thing that said and written – but it seems like there has been much encouragement from the week. I can’t vouch for everything here as I haven’t watched or read it all. It’s presented here for your information – please do be biblically discerning about it all (Acts 17:11)! Nevertheless it is a good encouragament that there is an organised movement of confessing Anglicans who seem very keen to preach the Biblical gospel, uphold the authority of the Bible and centrality of the cross of Christ all for the glory of God.
