Anglican grouping GAFCON objects to female Archbishop of Canterbury GAFCON, a grouping of conservative Anglican churches across Africa and Asia, said the Church of England's appointment of its first female Archbishop of Canterbury showed that the English arm of the church had "relinquished its authority to lead".

This is hate speech, pure and simple.
