Talk:Global Anglican Future Conference

message: I think everyone would agree that a large part of the impetus in setting up the conference arose from the consecration of Gene Robinson, arguably that's an over-simplification but it can at least be seen as the straw which broke the camel's back.  We have a third-party media source for that, based on an interview with Jensen (who was one of the prominent primates at the conference).  As to who is heteredox, schismatic or whatever, that is where the problem of neutrality lies.  One man's biblical orthodoxy is another man's fundamentalism (and as for interefering in the affairs of another province...).  We need some explanation of why the split has arisen in the article, but we cannot simply swallow the party line (of either side) without question.  David Underdown (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Archbishop Jensen is quoted as specifically opinting at the consecration of Robinson, so I don't think we can say taht GAFCOn have denied that that is the issue.

message: My priest recently conducted a very long interview with Bishop David Anderson concerning GAFCON. Perhaps it could be useful for this article somehow? Perhaps not, but I thought it was worth sharing and noting at least. GAFCON Interview PiccoloNamek (talk) 07:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans currently redirects to this article. Now that the FCA has officially launched, some of the content on this page can now be migrated to a separate article in place of the current redirect.  
On the other hand, since the FCA was one of the key objectives of GAFCON, and since GAFCON was a one-off event, it might instead be a good idea to rename this article to Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (following admin deletion of the redirect), and make GAFCON a subsection of the renamed article.  Some of the content here (e.g. the Queen's recent message of support) appears from the context to be about GAFCON, but is in fact about the FCA itself.  Thoughts?

replies: text:  Nobody cared about them until now. IMHO the article fails NPOV by being sobland as to suggest that the conferees were more mainstream and credible than they really are in the mind of the educated people  of the planet who have created both Anglicanism and Wikipedia. But now, you see, people from places like Kenya know better than we what our old religions and our new -pedia's shoudl be all about. Just wait, the vitriol is coming this way soon.184.191.158.27 (talk) 21:56, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The part of the entry concerning the conference in Jerusalem was confusing and I think incorrect. I improved that part with the help of the GAFCON 2008 official website but there is still work to do. I don't think it was ever planned that the conference wouldn't take place in Jerusalem. This is GAFCON 2008 programm and development according with their official website: .Mistico (talk) 15:46, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

message: This edit is a holding pattern as I think that the RS will show the intent of the conference to be more derogatory than I can substantiate at this time. This should do for now. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_Anglican_Future_Conference&type=revision&diff=700019241&oldid=700019026
No, I don't usually follow what ultra orthodox eggheads are up to. I will look into it further and when I have the RS edit accordinngly.184.191.158.27 (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Given that GAFCON is now more associated with the grouping of conservative Anglicans than the conference that started it all, should this article be re-written so that the focus is on the group? Where the name GAFCON came from and the details of the conference(s) would then fall under a history heading. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk  17:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't GAFCON just the global meeting of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans that meets periodically? Wouldn't it make more sense to merge these two articles? Not sure which name would be best. The official website is under the GAFCON name, but some of the regional branches are under the FCA name (per this page on the official website.

replies: text:  You're right. It seems that GAFCON started as a conference of the FCA, but now "GAFCON" seems to have become the chosen name in recent years. This isn't my area of expertise, but merging the two pages might be the way ahead. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk  13:34, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewriting article 

message: Cross posted to Talk:Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans
The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans seems to have rebranded itself as GAFCON and the host of subsequent GAFCON provinces. I think it would be wise to restructure the FCA and GAFCON articles to reflect the current status and structure of these entities. https://www.gafcon.org/about/global-movement --Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:54, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
