“The Anglican Church League gives thanks to God for the strong spiritual leadership of the Chair of the GAFCON Primates Council, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh of Nigeria.

In particular, we stand with the Archbishop in his call to the leaders of the Church of England to uphold the teaching of the written word of God on human sexuality, to distance themselves from the false teaching and corrupt practice of the American Episcopal Church, and to give themselves afresh to the proclamation of the crucified and risen Christ and the re-evangelisation of Europe.

We pledge our prayerful support of Archbishop Okoh as he continues to lead the GAFCON movement with grace, faithfulness and boldness.

We call on all Anglicans across the world to join with him in upholding biblical truth and genuine Christian discipleship, which is characterised by humility and a resolute commitment to the teaching of the Bible, the centrality of the gospel of Christ, and the new life of faith, repentance and obedience.”
