The Africans Take the Communion: At the End of the Quest, Victory

It’s done:

In the absence of such repentance, we have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion.

Today, that future has arrived.

Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008.

Ever since this site became involved in the “Anglican Revolt” one of the objectives has been to dethrone Canterbury and recentre the Communion where it belongs, primarily with the Africans but also with others. In a sense it’s a fulfilment of posts such as Message of the Africans: It’s Our Communion Now and Forget About the Guilt March. Just Give Them the Communion. Now the old Communion, at once revisionist and colonialist, is done.

With this event those in the ACNA who have, secretly or openly, pined for reunion with Canterbury need to take that off their bucket list and turn to bringing to resolution many of the dissonances that have been resident in the organisation (such as it is) from its inception and even before. May they humbly seek God’s help in making that a reality.

P.S. As far as the title is concerned, see below. I used that phrase when, after five years of tumult, I received my PhD.
