The Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (Gafcon), which is a network of conservative Anglican churches across Africa and Asia, received the news "with sorrow".
...
In a statement the Most Reverend Dr Laurent Mbanda, the Archbishop of Rwanda and chairman of Gafcon's leadership council, argued that "the majority of the Anglican Communion still believes that the Bible requires a male-only episcopacy".

Gafcon also objected to Dame Sarah's support for the blessing of same-sex couples, accusing her of promoting "unbiblical and revisionist teachings regarding marriage and sexual morality".

The group was formed in 2008 in response to theological differences within the Anglican Communion, in particular over the issue of same-sex unions.
