Anglican Perspective

In this episode, Canon Phil talks with the Rev. Philip DeGray Warter of the Anglican Network in England. How do we partner together within the Anglican Communion to preach Christ faithfully to the nations, and what might it look like for Gafcon and the Global South Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GSFA) to work together? How we answer these questions at a global level affects our life at the local level within our Anglican churches.

Canon Phil talks with the Rev. Canon Charles Raven of the Relay Trust during their time at the Global South Bishops Formation training program in Uganda. They describe the kind of work that the GSFA bishops are doing through this training, the issues being tackled, and the foundation being laid for the first General Assembly of the Global South in Cairo, Egypt 2024. Both canons were invited to help resource the Global South through their respective work with the AAC and Relay Trust and describe their experience of being a part of this emerging movement.

During the American Anglican Council's visit to St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in Marshall TX, we had the privilege of sitting down with two of their key leaders: their Rector Fr. Sean Duncan and Mrs. Edwina Thomas to hear more from their story of moving out of the Episcopal Church and into the Anglican Church in North America.

Canon Phil, Canon Mark, and Dean Andrew Rowell talk about their thoughts on Gafcon, the Kigali Commitment, and the future of the Anglican Communion.

Canon Phil interviews the Rev. Cn. Dr. Alison Barfoot, the Archbishop of Uganda’s Assistant for International Relations and Director of Communications. They discuss the work of God in Uganda through partnership with both Gafcon and the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, as well as her thoughts on Gafcon Kigali and the ministry happening here today.

Canon Mark speaks with the Very Rev. Andrew Rowell, Trustee of the American Anglican Council, from Gafcon Kigali in Rwanda.  They talk about what they've been seeing on the ground, the first couple days of the conference, and their hope for the future of Gafcon and the Global Anglican Communion.

In this episode, you’ll hear directly from newly consecrated Bishop Alex Farmer (Gulf-Atlantic), along with those of the Dean of the ACNA College of Bishops, Bishop Kevin Allen (Cascadia), and Bishop Clark Lowenfield (Western Gulf-Coast), all of whom attended our latest Bishops Leadership Academy.  What do the bishops of the ACNA perceive to be the greatest issues we are facing as a Church today? How can the ACNA possibly hold together with so many differences and divisions over so many issues?  These are some of the questions six newly elected and/or consecrated bishops, three senior bishops, and three visiting senior bishops addressed at the 2023 gathering at Epworth-by-the-Sea Retreat Center in St Simons Island, GA.  

During his trip to Uganda to be with the leaders of the Church of Uganda, Canon Phil got to sit down with Bishop Alfred Olwa about the work of Gospel ministry in Uganda, the Global Communion and the fighting against false teaching, and how to move forward in faith for the sake of the world. 

In this episode, Canon Phil interviews the Archbishop of All Uganda, the Most Rev. Stephen Kaziimba, during the AAC's visit to the Church of Uganda and the Ugandan House of Bishops.  Canon Phil asks hard questions about new prayers for same-sex blessings in the Church of England, the state of the Global Anglican Communion, discipleship in the Church of Uganda, and others! You will hear Archbishop Steven's candid, transparent, and thoroughly biblical response to these questions and more! 

In this special podcast, Canon Phil summarizes the current events in today's Anglican Communion. The past few months have seen some significant occurrences that will affect the Church's future: the conclusion of Lambeth Conference 2022, the appointment of a homosexual dean for Canterbury Cathedral, the Global South and Gafcon's responses, the consecration of four new bishops for Europe outside of Canterbury's authority, and the transference of Abp. Felix Orji of Nigeria's diocese to the ACNA. All of these events illustrate the state of the Communion, the Global South, and Gafcon.

How do these events relate to one another and the larger Anglican experience? Is there a movement towards somehting greater or towards greater decline in global Anglicanism? What's the difference between the Global South and Gafcon and how are they working together?
