An interesting meeting will take place starting tomorrow within the more conservative wing of the Anglican Church; the gathering is called GAFCON, the Global Anglican Futures conference. "Many conservatives pulled out of Lambeth (the gathering of Anglican bishops every ten years) in the ongoing dispute over homosexual ordination and same-sex blessings." Peter Jensen, who heads up the conference, suggests that GAFCON could turn into a movement "with sufficient institutional reality to make it a new force within the Anglican Communion." Again, the question is raised, what does it mean to be the Church today? What kind of corporate life do we construct together? What does the Church "as culture" look like?
