AIC – UK SET TO FCA

The Global Anglican Conference (GAFCON) has now formally established the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FCA) and with that news from the Archbishop of Sydney, Dr Peter Jensen of the Church of Australia who will head-up the International Secretariat of FCA, has come the news we have been waiting for:-

The UK Province of the Anglican Independent Communion will be admitted into membership of FCA

This is indeed good news and we will be joining the largest body of Anglicans in the world as equals in the service of Christ.

But what will it mean for us? The answer is simple. As a constituent part of FCA we will work towards two goals. Firstly, defend the gospel and the people of God against their spiritual adversaries, notably the liberal theology which has become so prevalent in the West; and Secondly, provide aid to those faithful Anglicans who have been forced to disaffiliate from their original spiritual homes by false teaching and practice. Does that not sound a bit like the AIC !!!?

This is a whole new beginning for the Anglican faith and there will be many within the existing ‘Anglican Communion’, not least of all our State Church here in England, who will be most uneasy about the situation. It is likely that the AICUK, simply because of our geographical position, will be called upon to do much. Exactly what is soon to be worked out but we must brace ourselves for what may very well be a great struggle and challenge ahead, both here and throughout the world. The Lord is bringing together a great army for the fight ahead.
