GAFCON REPLACING LAMBETH CONFERENCE WITH POSITIVE INFLUENCE OF A NIGERIAN

Abstract

The paper examines the existence of Lambeth Conference that had its source from the Church of England with the primary opinion of giving the Church a befitting value throughout the World. This was designed to happen through the decennial meeting that consist of only the Primates/ Archbishops/ Bishops of the Anglican Communion Worldwide. After about 60 years of the conception of this dream, the conference started compromising the initial dream on which the foundation of the Conference was laid. This degeneration continues until recently when there was a proposal for the same sex marriage. The Study adopted historical approach for its findings. Lambeth Conference compromised the initial dream that gave birth to the establishment of the Conference and thereby turn around to embrace the same ordination of women, same sex marriage and the formulation of evil theories that against the biblical Gospel. The rise of GAFCON, ably led by a Nigerian, Archbishop Peter Jasper Akinola is with the intention of bringing sanity back to the Church and the readiness to against the heretic messages posed by the leadership of Lambeth Conference. The Study recommends the rise of the minority against any heresy that contradicts the Holy Bible.
