Same-Sex Schism: Conservative Anglicans Reject Archbishop of Canterbury

A conservative group of 12 Anglican archbishops from around the world have signed a resolution stating they will no longer recognize the Archbishop of Canterbury as the head of the Anglican Communion following the Church of England's decision to allow the blessing of same-sex unions by its priests. 

Monday's announcement marked what could be the beginning of a historic split among Anglican churches. As CBN News has reported, over the years the Church of England has made doctrinal changes pitting the escalating global LGBT sexual agenda against the teachings of Biblical morality. It has led to friction between the church's leaders and members.  

That's why the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches (GSFA) has now said in a statement it will no longer uphold the Rt Hon & Most Revd Justin Welby as the "leader of the global communion."

"He has sadly led his House of Bishops to make the recommendations that undergirded the General Synod Motion on 'Living in Love & Faith,' knowing that they run contrary to the faith & order of the orthodox provinces in the Communion whose people constitute the majority in the global flock. We pray that our withdrawal of support for him to lead the whole Communion is received by him as an admonishment in love," the statement said.
