Right now, they're just trying to keep from going straight to hell along with the loons in the USA and England.

When you're trying to keep from drowning, you don't pause to discuss the finer points of synchronized swimming with the guy on the next dock.

“When you’re trying to keep from drowning, you don’t pause to discuss the finer points of synchronized swimming with the guy on the next dock.”

But, AAM, the devil is in the details and The Church has on a number of occasions discussed the “finer points” while trying to keep from drowning, Nicea and the 7th Ecumenical Council spring to mind.

As lastchance said, GAFCON has determined to define itself as Protestant. That’s fine; indeed under the circumstances its truly wonderful, but its not “catholic” or “Catholic” nor “orthodox” or “Orthodox” as The Church defines those terms. I believe that is regrettable as I had hoped for a move towards Rome or Constantinople and an expression of appreciation for the danger of communion even with those who themselves are in communion with soul destroying heresy let alone with heresy itself.
