An AMiA blogger reveals a couple of interesting points: 1. GAFCON attendees have been told not to reveal details of ‘the secret plan’ on their blogs. 2. there does seem to be an internal struggle between those who want to leave the AC and those who want to stay. “There are great things being wrought here for the orthodox Anglican body. We have been asked not to comment on our blogs about details, but let me say that we will not be disappointed at the end….and will, in fact be greatly encouraged by what the Holy Spirit is working in… Read more »
