Archbishop of Canterbury warns on 'orthodox' Anglican grouping

London/Jerusalem (ENI). Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has criticised plans by a group of Anglican leaders to set up a new network within the worldwide Anglican Communion to fight for what they describe as theological orthodoxy. Williams described as, "problematic in all sorts of ways" proposals from the Global Anglican Future Conference, or GAFCON, which met in Jerusalem at the end of June. Williams said, "It is not enough to dismiss the existing structures of the [Anglican] Communion. If they are not working effectively, the challenge is to renew them rather than to improvise solutions that may seem to be effective for some in the short term but will continue to create more problems than they solve."
