John Rodgers on GAFCon

The Rt. Rev Dr. John Rodgers (my former systematics professor and still my friend) now a retired bishop of the AMiA has written a piece about GAFCon. In part it describes what he believes has happened -

"We are not breaking away from the Anglican Communion. In essence the fellowship of confessing Anglicans took things in hand and declared that we are the true and faithful Anglicans, upholding the historic Anglican grasp of the apostolic faith, and as such we are the true representatives of the Anglican Communion."

So GAFCon has decided that they are Anglicanism and the rest of us aren't? Remember that participation was by invitation only. Well at least John seems to understand the radical nature of this claim.
