"A gospel without repentance, a gospel without holiness, a gospel without submission, a gospel without transformation is the devil's lie to give false assurance to condemned people."
- Dr John MacArthur
On October 3, 2025 the Church of England announced the appointment of Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of the Diocese of London, as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. This appointment makes it abundantly clear that liberals in the Anglican Communion are clearly focused on pushing through their agenda of holding the church hostage in the direction of jettisoning biblical Christianity.
I do NOT agree with theological Liberals but I acknowledge them for their consistency. They are consistent in their ungodliness and determination to disobey the Bible and they have clearly demonstrated that again in this appointment of a *pro-gay, pro-abortion, and theologically liberal female Archbishop of Canterbury*. It is clear that God’s Word is NOT authoritative in the Canterbury-led Anglican Communion! Now let us see what line of thinking conservatives will deploy to rationalize their continuing being part of the Canterbury-led Anglican Communion. In their clarity they’ve done GAFCON and GSFA a favor.
The Bible teaches that any “Christian” leader who is unforgiving, immoral, dishonest, corrupt, arrogant, unwilling to speak the truth, greedy, dishonest, materialistic, disobedient to Scripture, and abusive is not fit to lead the Church! The Bible also teaches that any “Christian” leader who is pro-gay, pro-abortion, disagrees with the teaching of Scripture, and theologically liberal is not fit to lead the Church! It is an act of rebellion against God to promote and support such errant leadership in the Church!
We now hope and pray that GAFCON will do itself a favor and avoid doing anything that may reasonably be considered contrary to Scripture or Anglican polity. It is now time for GAFCON to lead the way in a godly manner! Hopefully all GAFCON provinces will totally withdraw from Canterbury-led Anglican Communion. The glory has departed from the Canterbury-led Anglican Communion!!! It is saddening and very unfortunate!
We are glad that the Anglican Church in North America(ACNA) is not part of the tragically and theologically compromised Canterbury-led Anglican Communion. It is high time that we made it clear that our relationship with Christ and His Word is more important than any other relationships that are committed to dishonoring the name of Christ and the authority of his Word because of their penchant for cultural relevance and accommodation of the sinful tendencies of our fallen nature. Unity is good but obedience to God cannot be sacrificed on the idolatrous altar of our supposed ecclesiastical unity. Our God is a jealous God and he will not share his glory and his church with anyone who is committed to being unfaithful to Him.
Biblical Christianity is marked by repentance from sin, faith in Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice, commitment to the primacy and authority of the Bible, obedience to God’s Word, holiness of life, evangelism, genuine worship, mutual forgiveness, and love! May the Lord be merciful to his Church and keep us faithful to his Word and his Mission till the very end of our lives. Amen.
