He'd like to have the establishment influence and respect the CofE gets. GAFCON sees itself as the "true" Anglican church, just unaccountably not in charge right now; once they've persuaded people to see the error of uppity women priests, any form of LGBT tolerance, etc., then they can get back to the good old days of the 1950s or so.
