I applaud conservative Anglicans for sticking together and staying tough amidst the calls to meld into moral and theological mushiness. However, GAFCON seems to be Reformed in approach, and not very Catholic (as Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglo-Catholic Anglicans would define the term). This is not surprise, and is something I have been saying for awhile, which is that “conservative” Anglicanism worldwide is mostly a reformed, almost Calvinist, movement. When the supporters of GAFCON speak of a “reformed Anglicanism” it is true in more ways that one.
. . .
Sometimes I play out in my mind what I would do if I were an Anglican today. How would I respond? Where would I go? Honestly I probably would see myself being forced to choose between a Reformed movement or a liberal establishment, neither which would be satisfying, and probably look elsewhere, which is what I did in 2004.
