We stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ across the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches (GFSA) and the Province of the Anglican Church in South East Asia in their unwavering commitment to the authority of Scripture. The appointment of ### as the new Archbishop of Canterbury is indeed a moment of great concern, for it represents a departure from the clear teaching of God’s Word regarding marriage and human sexuality. The Bible leaves no room for ambiguity on this matter—marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God from the beginning, as affirmed in Genesis 2:24: *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* Jesus Himself reaffirmed this in Matthew 19:4-6, declaring that what God has joined together, no man should separate. To bless or endorse same-sex relationships is to contradict the very foundation of Scripture, which calls such practices sin (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
The lament expressed by the GFSA and the bishops of South East Asia is just and righteous. When leaders in the Church compromise on the truth of God’s Word, they risk leading many astray. The Apostle Paul warned us in Galatians 1:8-9: *"But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any ‘good news’ other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any ‘good news’ other than that which you received, let him be cursed."* This is not a matter of cultural preference but of eternal truth. The Church must not bow to the pressures of the world but must stand firm on the unchanging Word of God.
We also note with deep concern that this appointment further fractures the unity of the Anglican Communion. True unity can only be found in the truth, not in compromise. As Ephesians 4:14-15 tells us, *"that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ."* The GFSA’s call for a framework of covenanted relationships rooted in orthodox doctrine is a step in the right direction—a return to the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).
Let us pray earnestly for the Anglican Communion, that God would raise up leaders who will boldly uphold His truth without compromise. Let us pray for ###, that the Holy Spirit would convict her heart and turn her back to the clear teaching of Scripture. Let us pray for the bishops and believers in the GFSA and South East Asia, that they would remain steadfast in their faith and continue to be a light in the darkness. And let us pray for the Church worldwide, that she would repent of any departure from God’s Word and return to the narrow path that leads to life.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieving the compromise we see within the Church. You have called Your people to be holy, set apart for Your purposes, and to uphold Your truth without wavering. Lord, we lift up the Anglican Communion to You, asking that You would bring repentance and revival. Convict the hearts of those who have strayed from Your Word, and raise up leaders who will fearlessly proclaim Your truth, even when it is unpopular.
We pray specifically for ###, that You would open her eyes to the gravity of her position and the responsibility she bears before You. Soften her heart, Lord, and turn her away from any teaching that contradicts Your holy Word. Strengthen the GFSA, the bishops of South East Asia, and all orthodox Anglicans who are standing firm on Your truth. Unify them in Your Spirit, and let their witness be a beacon of hope to a world lost in confusion.
Father, we ask that You would expose the deceptions of the enemy and bring Your Church back to the foundation of Your Word. Let there be no unity apart from truth, and let Your truth prevail in the Anglican Communion and beyond. We pray for the salvation of souls, that many would turn from sin and embrace the forgiveness and transformation found only in Jesus Christ.
In the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We join with our brothers and sisters in Christ across the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches and the Province of the Anglican Church in South East Asia in their concern regarding the appointment of ### as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. We too are grieved by this turn of events, as it represents a departure from the clear teaching of Scripture on matters of marriage and human sexuality.
As followers of Christ, we are called to love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39). This love compels us to speak the truth in love, even when it is difficult or unpopular (Ephesians 4:15). Therefore, we must not remain silent in the face of compromise and error, but we must also strive to maintain a spirit of humility, gentleness, and patience (Ephesians 4:2).
We pray for ###, that the Holy Spirit would grant her repentance and a change of heart. We pray that she would turn away from any teaching that contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture and instead uphold the truth of God's Word without compromise. We also pray for the bishops and believers in the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches and South East Asia, that they would remain steadfast in their faith and continue to be a light in the darkness.
We urge all Anglicans to pray fervently for the Anglican Communion, that God would raise up leaders who will boldly uphold His truth without compromise. We must not let fear or concern for reputation keep us from speaking the truth in love. As the Apostle Paul reminds us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
Let us also remember that our hope is not in princes or in human leaders, but in the Lord our God, who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1-2). Let us trust in Him, even in the face of adversity, and let us continue to strive for unity in the truth, that the world may know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ (John 17:20-23).
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We have been humbled to lift up this weighty concern before the Lord alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ, standing in unity with the Anglican leaders in ###, ###, and the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches as they seek to remain faithful to Scripture in this challenging season. The past days have been a time of fervent prayer for wisdom, discernment, and a return to biblical orthodoxy within the Anglican Communion, and we are grateful you invited us to join you in interceding for God’s truth to prevail.
As we reflect on the words of Bishop ### ### and Archbishop ### ###, we are reminded of the importance of standing firm on the unchanging Word of God, even as the pressures of culture seek to reshape the Church’s foundations. We have prayed earnestly that the Lord would bring clarity, repentance where needed, and a renewed commitment to His design for marriage and human flourishing across the global Communion. We have also asked God to strengthen and encourage the leaders of the GFSA and all who are contending for biblical faithfulness, that they would remain steadfast in their conviction while extending grace and truth in every conversation.
If the Lord has moved in response to these prayers—whether through a shift in hearts, a renewed unity among orthodox Anglicans, or a clear path forward for those who seek to uphold Scripture—we would love to hear how God is at work. Your praise report would be a testament to His faithfulness and an encouragement to all of us who are standing in the gap.
If this burden still weighs heavily, and the need for prayer persists, we invite you to share an update so we can continue to cry out to the Lord with you. May He grant the Anglican Communion a spirit of humility, a return to His Word, and a boldness to proclaim His truth without compromise. We are committed to walking alongside you in this, trusting that God is sovereign over His Church and that He will bring about His purposes in His perfect timing.
We will keep praying for the leaders of the GFSA, for the Church of ###, and for all who are navigating this season of division, asking that the Lord would use even this to refine and purify His Bride. May He equip every believer to stand firm in the faith, rooted in Christ and His Word, as we await His redemption and restoration. In Jesus Name.
