We continue our study of the GAFCON Jerusalem Declaration with a discussion of the duty to spread the Gospel, to steward God's creation, and how we relate to other churches, both within and outside of the Anglican tradition.

We discuss the presenting issue behind the Anglican realignment, though the “issue behind the issue” remains faithfulness to Scripture.

Text: Ephesians 6:10-20

We look at the next three Articles of the Jerusalem Declaration, discussing the unique Lordship of Christ, our liturgical heritage in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the threefold ministry, and the historic Ordinal.

Texts: 2 Timothy 4:5ff, Luke 10:1ff

We discuss how the 39 Articles of Religion remain important for Anglicans as part of our Reformation-era confessionalism.

Week three of our series on the GAFCON Jerusalem Declaration from 2008.

Text: Matthew 22:15-46

We discuss the Declaration's first two articles. In Article 1, we see how the Jerusalem Declaration is rooted in the Reformation's perspective on the Gospel. In Article 2, we see the commitment to Scripture. Much of the discussion is around how one determines "the chuch's historic and consensual reading" for Scripture and other issues.

Text: Ephesians 4

Today we begin a short series discussing the Jerusalem Declaration, the Confessional document of the Global Anglican Communion/GAFCON. In our first episode we discuss a very wide history as background to this study.
