Global Anglican Future Conference

Overview

GAFCON — the Global Anglican Future Conference — is a fellowship of confessional Anglicans convened in Jerusalem in 2008 to hold the Anglican Communion's historic faith and order against the revisionist trajectory of the Western provinces. GAFCON's Jerusalem Declaration reaffirms the Thirty-Nine Articles, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and the historic creeds, anchoring Anglican identity in biblical authority and gospel mission. AskCredo places GAFCON in the A-tier as the primary confessional realignment within global Anglicanism — a movement by which Anglican orthodoxy is, at the global level, a majority rather than a fringe position.
