Anglican leaders associated with the Global Anglican Futures Conference released a statement rebuking Church of England leaders for having "failed to guard the faith."
GAFCON is "a global family of authentic Anglicans standing together to retain and restore the Bible to the heart of the Anglican Communion," according to its website, which explains the movement emerged in 2008 in response to increasing theological liberalism in the Anglican Communion.

The Kigali Commitment comes amid deep fractures among Anglicans globally regarding gender and sexuality. Following two days of extensive debate, the Church of England's General Synod voted in February in favor of offering prayers for God's blessing on same-sex couples.
Accusing Church of England leaders of "repeated departures from the authority of God’s Word," the statement said, "The latest of these departures is the majority vote by the General Synod of the Church of England in February 2023 to welcome proposals by the bishops to enable same-sex couples to receive God’s blessing."
