Spot the Anglican Irony - THE OTHER CHEEK

Ridley Melbourne’s Michael Bird asks in the wake of the Gafcon announcement of the Global Anglican Communion – a reset of the links between national Anglican churches.

“Am I still Anglican? Because, according to GAFCON, you cannot be Anglican and be in communion with the See of Canterbury.

However, Michael Bird is part of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, which is part of the Anglican Province of Australia, and is in communion with the See of Canterbury.

According to the GAFCON re-definition, this would mean that Michael Bird is not Anglican. But, as the author argues, this is not the case.

Author's summary: Michael Bird is still Anglican despite GAFCON's re-definition.
