CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yup. Although Henry and Elizabeth WERE as brutal as Hitler and Stalin.

Sounds like it was a 3 way relationship, so at least half lesbian and definitely morally corrupt. Not sure if she's still in that situationship. Ben only said that at one point this is how she was living.

Yes, but he died in the 600s AD; the Church of England didn't come around for another 900 years. I realize my blanket statement made it seem as if I was including him, but I wasn't. There was no way that Augustine could have been in cahoots with King Hank.

They've departed the Episcopal Church. The whole point of GAFCON (Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans) as I understand it is that it's a collection of former Episcopal/Anglican churches who didn't like the direction of the Episcopal/Anglican Church so they left. So if you're in GAFCON, you're not in the Anglican Communion.
There do seem to be a decent number of them, though--they have about 40 million members worldwide (note that all numbers I am going to give are taken from Wikipedia). For comparison, the Anglican Communion itself has 85 million. So that puts it a little less than half the size of the Anglican Communion.
However, they don't have that big of a presence in North America, and are mostly in Africa. There are only 122,000 members in Canada, Mexico, and the United States combined. In contrast, there are 1 million in Rwanda, 5 million in Kenya, 11 million in Uganda, and 18 million in Nigeria.

Ah, I see. There is the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) which has conservative views on marriage, and abortion; yet it ordains women to the priesthood BUT NOT to the episcopacy.
They are relatively small.

The relationship is a little more complicated. A number of GAFCON-affiliated churches are still in the Anglican Communion, particularly (as you mention) in Africa. The Church of Nigeria, the Church of Uganda, the Anglican Church of Rwanda, and the Anglican Church of Kenya, for example, are all in the Anglican Communion.
In some other places (for example, the US, Brazil, and New Zealand), the GAFCON affiliates have broken away from the national Anglican church in their country and are thus no longer part of the Anglican Communion.
