We give thanks to God for the recent Gafcon Ireland 48-hour residential, where leaders from across the island gathered in unity around the gospel. We especially thank the Lord for the ministry of Bishop Stuart Bell, consecrated by Gafcon and serving within the Anglican Convocation in Europe. His teaching on the holiness of the pastor-teacher and the often unseen realities of spiritual warfare deeply encouraged all present.
We praise God for Bishop Bell’s decades of faithful ministry, his example of godliness, vigilance, and dependence on the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.
We also give thanks for the contributions of Dr Andrew Collins; Bishop Andy Lines, Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Network in Europe and Advisor to the Gafcon Primates’ Council; and Bishop David McClay, Gafcon Regional Secretary for Europe, strengthening our shared commitment to faithful Anglican witness.
