From Christian Today-The global network emerging as an alternative to the Anglican Communion has called a conference open to all orthodox bishops around the world.
In a new statement today, Gafcon (the Global Anglican Futures Conference) announced the gathering, which will be held next June – just a few weeks before the Archbishop of Canterbury's own Lambeth Conference of worldwide bishops.
The declaration also indicates that the organisation is moving towards a traditionalist position on episcopal ministry by being inclined towards reserving the role of bishop for men.
In relation to Justin Welby's Lambeth Conference, the communique, from Gafcon's Council of Primates, says: "We have no interest in attempting to rival Lambeth 2020.
"On the other hand, we do not want our bishops to be deprived of faithful fellowship while we wait for order in the Communion to be restored.
