A conservative group of anglican archbishops, bishops and others, are organising a Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) to be held in the Holy Land in June 2008. I guess the main outcome would be a road-map for conservative Anglicans, post the pending split in the Anglican Communion.  [Perhaps, regarding the schism - it's more accurate to say while we wait for official recognition of the existing de facto parting of the ways.]

A pro-gay website contains this wonderful quote: “GAFCON is an event for the like-minded. A gathering of the like-minded is very specifically not a Christian ideal nor part of the teaching of Jesus Christ.”

Depending on the subject of the ‘like-mindedness’  – it could be a core teaching of Jesus – such is the problem of these catchy generalisations – they are usually exceptionally wrong.
