About GAFCON India – Anglican Bishops Council of India

The Anglican Bishops Council of India (ABCI), affiliated with the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), is a fellowship of Anglican leaders committed to upholding the authority of Scripture, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the historic Anglican faith as expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Ordinal.

GAFCON India seeks to align itself with the global movement of faithful Anglicans united by a shared commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This movement exists as a response to the theological and moral challenges facing the Anglican Communion today, aiming to restore Biblical orthodoxy and faithfulness within the Church.

Rooted in the rich traditions of Anglican worship and ministry, the Anglican Bishops Council of India is focused on revitalizing the Church’s mission in India by adhering to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). ABCI partners with like-minded Anglican churches and organizations across the globe, fostering unity, strengthening local congregations, and equipping leaders for effective ministry.

Vision and Mission in India
The Anglican Bishops Council of India envisions a vibrant and unified Anglican presence in India, marked by spiritual renewal, strong discipleship, and effective evangelism. In partnership with Anglican dioceses and networks, we aim to plant churches, train leaders, and address the pressing needs of communities through Gospel-centered initiatives.

Through its association with GAFCON, ABCI stands firm in promoting Biblical fidelity and resisting any departure from the faith “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). We remain steadfast in our commitment to upholding the historic Anglican witness and advancing the Kingdom of God in India.
