I hasten to assure you of my heartfelt prayers for all those taking part in this convocation. The significance of your meeting is sensed far beyond Plano, and even in this City from which Saint Augustine of Canterbury was sent to confirm and strengthen the preaching of Christ's Gospel in England. Nor can I fail to recall that barely 120 years later, Saint Boniface brought that same Christian faith from England to my own forebears in Germany.

In his Foreword, Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, Chairman of the GAFCON Conference, writes:

"In calling orthodox Anglicans to meet in Jerusalem, we were calling them to return to their roots, both doctrinally, in the Scriptures, and historically, in the Holy Land, where God has acted decisively for our redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ.

That there are substantial differences between Anglican and Roman doctrines, none can rationally deny, though some have tried, and continue trying, to deny it. The article's purpose, therefore, is primarily to show what the Anglican doctrines are - here specifically, the doctrine of the sacrament of Our Saviour's Body and Blood.

To overcome the rapidly increasing evils of secularism, disunity and the lack of internal discipline within the Communion, must we give up the truths of Anglican reformed Catholicism and agree to beliefs that err from biblical truth, including papal infallibility - as did the TAC bishops who secretly submitted to Roman doctrine and supremacy in October 2007? That cannot be the right solution.
