From Archbishop Dr Laurent Mbanda, Chairman, Gafcon Primates Council:

“Dear Gafcon family,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Will you celebrate with us Gafcon Sunday on the 29th June?

On this day in 2008 we gathered at our first Gafcon conference to unveil the historic Jerusalem Statement, which continues to express the truth and unity that binds together our movement in love.

At our G25 mini-conference in Plano, Texas in March, we played this short video that captured this historic moment:

We invite every Gafcon church to devote time during worship services on Sunday 29th June to read or display a short item about Gafcon, and to lead prayers for our movement.

We also humbly request that each church collect a special thanksgiving offertory for Gafcon, so that through your precious partnership in the gospel, you might equip us to guard God’s gospel.

In the coming weeks our Gafcon Secretariat will make available some digital resources which you may choose to distribute or display at church, or share via email and social networks.

As we gathered in the land of our Lord Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection, we experienced a moment that continues to lead us to pray to see the Bible at the heart of the Anglican Communion.

Please join with orthodox Anglicans everywhere, as we gather to celebrate Gafcon Sunday on 29th June, in just under eight weeks’ time.

The Most Rev’d Dr Laurent Mbanda
Chairman, Gafcon Primates Council
Monday, 12th May 2025.”
