Dear Brothers and Sisters in Gafcon,
As we prepare for Gafcon Sunday on the 29th June 2025, I am reminded of the joyful cry of our Jerusalem 2018 conference:
“We will proclaim Christ faithfully to the nations!”
This short video reminds us afresh of that special occasion:
So much has happened since we gathered at that assembly in 2018, and every day I see evidence of the Lord’s blessing upon our movement.
Over the next four weeks I will share with you some short updates about how the Lord is working through the four priorities of Gafcon.
Firstly, we’ll consider how we are gathering authentic Anglicans from every continent, as we stand united in gospel truth and fellowship.
Secondly, we’ll hear about how we are guarding God’s gospel, as we stand firm against false teaching and uphold biblical faithfulness.
Thirdly, we’ll share how we’re growing orthodox leaders, as we equip bishops, clergy, and lay people to serve with courage and conviction.
Fourthly, we’ll give thanks for how we are generating missional resources which help make disciples of all nations.
As we prepare to gather in five weeks for Gafcon Sunday, I want to thank you for your prayers, encouragement and generous support.
In particular, I ask that you consider whether you might personally provide a special gift for our movement to help us gather, guard, grow and generate for the glory of God?
Can your church make a special collection to provide vital resources to help us see the Bible at the heart of the Anglican Communion?
Can your church play a short video during your Sunday service to share the Gafcon vision with your congregation?
What a joy it was to gather with nearly 2000 people at Jerusalem 2018!
May we continue to see Christ faithfully proclaimed to the nations!
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Paul Donison,
General Secretary, Gafcon

PS: We are preparing a two-minute video to play in your church on 29th June… can you save a place for us in your Sunday service?
