Episode notes
GAFCON's Claim On Anglican Authority
- GAFCON frames itself as the true Anglican Communion by claiming biblical orthodoxy and rejecting Canterbury's authority.
- Their main dispute centers on gay relationships rather than solely gender or women leaders.
Rare Ecumenical Moment Between Churches
- King Charles and Pope Francis publicly praying together offered rare symbolic ecumenism since the Reformation.
- Many in the UK responded with joy, though GAFCON's view on such ecumenism remains unclear.
Life At Holy Family Church During Ceasefire
- Father Carlos reported mixed feelings after the fragile ceasefire: relief but ongoing fear and sporadic explosions.
- He confirmed Mass continues twice daily and some people still sleep inside the church compound.
