The Church of England has officially accepted and affirmed the transgender lifestyle in their Synod on the 9th of July 2017. People who have embraced the lifestyle do not have any hitch anymore since their lifestyle has been considered as not being a sin against God.
The Right Reverend Paul Bayes, the Bishop of Liverpool, during the synod debate said “As the world listens to us today, the world needs to hear us say that LGBTI orientation and identity is not a crime, not a sickness and not a sin,”.
This Synod decision is part of the downward sliding of some members of the communion in their efforts to redefine sexuality. Sexuality is no more God-given. You are what you think in yo min and feel you are.
Thank God for the efforts of GAFCON to provide spiritual oversight for Anglican members who still believe and submit themselves to the authority of the Scriptures.
Let us continue to pray for the Church. All these will culminate to a terrible persecution that will come upon professing Christians in Europe in the years to come. May He keep His faithful ones. Amen.

Final Resolution on the Anglican Communion Covenant
The ACC:
• thanks the Covenant Design Group for their faithfulness and responsiveness in producing the drafts for an Anglican Communion Covenant and, in particular, for the Ridley Cambridge Draft submitted to this meeting;
• recognises that an Anglican Communion Covenant may provide an effective means to strengthen and promote our common life as a Communion;
• asks the Archbishop of Canterbury, in consultation with the Secretary General, to appoint a small working group to consider and consult with the Provinces on section 4 and its possible revision, and to report to the next meeting of the Joint Standing Committee;
• asks the JSC, at that meeting, to approve a final form of section 4;
• asks the Secretary General to send the revised Ridley Cambridge text, at that time, only to the member Churches of the Anglican Consultative Council for consideration and decision on acceptance or adoption by them as the Anglican Communion Covenant;
• asks those member Churches to report to ACC-15 on the progress made in the processes of response to, and acceptance or adoption of, the Covenant.
This is real confusion. Just like one commenter at anglicantv.org said:
"We can take heart that in MANY places around the globe there are VERY DEAR brothers and sisters in Christ who are focused, that is GOSPEL FOCUSED, and going about the Masters business pointing people to the
Saviour of the world, in accordance to the Great commission.
Sadly there are others who are navel gazing big time while in the area
where they could be reaching a harvest 'of souls'there are men and women dying in there sin.
We need to be going to the scriptures DAILY with an open mind seeking to
WALK in obedience to the Masters leading."
The church must march on and the gates of hell will not rpevail against it.
