"Our Divine Conference reflected the partnership we have with other Confessing Anglicans as we welcomed international guests and speakers from other nations, including Uganda, the UK and the Anglican Church of North America.

"In the twenty first century, it is becoming clear that we must see the once missionary nations of the West as now themselves mission fields. The fact that the United Kingdom came close to breaking up last week is a symptom of the disintegration that follows when a once common Christian faith has been lost and I want to appreciate the work of the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE) who are sharing with other mission minded Anglicans in England as they meet for the 'ReNew' Conference this week," added the Kenyan Archbishop.

"AMiE is authorized by the GAFCON Primates to work within and, where necessary, outside the structures of the Church of England as a missionary society."

Wabukala said he understood the challenges that faithful Anglicans face in England. "At GAFCON 2013 in Nairobi we recognized that the focus of the struggle for biblical faithfulness has shifted from North America to England. The temptation to dilute the message of Jesus Christ and compromise with the surrounding culture is strong, so it is vital for the gospel in England, and also for the world, that you continue as a beacon to the revealed truth of the Scriptures. The salvation of people from hell is at stake. So nothing could be more important."

Ugandan Archbishop Stanley Ntagali remarked that true unity comes when Christ is at the center of the Church arguing, "GAFCON is a revival movement to revive the Anglican Communion".

The conference saw the appearance of the Anglican Church in North America's special representative, Canon Alan Hawkins who brought greetings from Archbishop Foley Beach as well as a mission team of church planters from the Anglican Church of North America's Greenhouse Movement.

"All Saints Cathedral and Greenhouse have now committed to reciprocal mission visits and I rejoice to see the GAFCON vision for faithful global mission being put into practice in this very practical way between the great cities of Nairobi and Chicago. I hope this will be the first of many similar initiatives," noted the Kenyan archbishop.

"As Chairman of GAFCON I give thanks to God as I see brothers and sisters in Christ round the world standing firm and partnering together to make known the good news of our Lord Jesus in season and out of season."

Wabukala pointed to the terrible barbarities of ISIL and the evil that has befallen many believers in the Middle East and those facing similar threats in other parts of the world, "may their suffering strengthen our resolve to be faithful soldiers and servants of Jesus Christ wherever we are, knowing that nothing can separate is from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
