Without
dissent, the bishops at GAFCON have just approved the
following resolution:
To
affirm and endorse the position of the Primates Council in providing oversight
in cases where Provinces and Dioceses compromise biblical faith, including the
affirmation of a duly discerned call to ministry. This may involve ordination
and consecration if the situation requires.
Yes.
Boundary crossing.
Horrors! (Hmm, maybe I
should scare libchurchers this Halloween by going out as a boundary crosser.)
And I heartily approve and am glad to see this was
passed with no dissent. This is in
the spirit of Athanasius, who did not recognize the legitimacy of Arian bishops
and ordained orthodox clergy to witness in their territories.
Apostate bishops are no bishops. Their unfaithfulness should and does
forfeit their bishoprics. And the
unfortunate in their dioceses should have orthodox shepherds appointed over them
to guide them and protect them from heretical wolves.
