Pro-life statement not included in GAFCON declaration

Timothy Morgan, blogging at Christianity Today’s liveblog, says that pro-life attendees are disappointed that no explicitly pro-life platform exists in the Jerusalem Declaration.

Many GAFCON pilgrims are headed home and I met two of them at Ben Gurion airport disappointed that their efforts to include an explicit affirmation of the prolife cause was left off the statement and declaration. In reality, relatively few changes were made to the GAFCON declaration as the rank and file members fed comments to the drafting committee. Efforts to get prolife language were unsuccessful. But Anglican prolife leaders will try again.

From the experience of these pilgrims it appears the final document was relatively unchanged from the original that existed at the beginning of the conference.
