New structure, maybe. New power, no.

The Church Times is among those reporting that GAFCON may create some new structure. What kind of structure remains to be seen, as does how it will function given the intense rivalries among various GAFCON leaders, and the weariness of many Africans with the prominence of white Americans and Englishmen in their organization. What it already evident is that any new structure would have authority only over its own members.
