Gafcon is a prophetic movement, putting the Bible back at the heart of the Anglican Communion, but above all it is a spiritual movement and I am delighted to introduce a weekday devotional 'Lift Up Your Hearts'. These devotionals will greatly enrich our common life and I urge you to share them widely!
During Lent Faith McDonnell, one of the two Suffering Church Network leaders has been writing a special series of daily Lift Up Your Hearts devotions which focus our thoughts and prayers on the suffering church.
From Easter, on Monday 13th April, Revd Canon Dr Ashley Null will be writing the devotions. Dr Ashley Null is an award-winning writer and has spoken at every Gafcon gathering since the beginning in 2008.
