Archbishop Glenn Davies was today’s guest on The Pastor’s Heart.
Well worth watching.
Sydney Archbishop Glenn Davies shares openly about –
- Weeping for the city of Sydney like Jesus wept over Jerusalem.
- His surprise to be speaking at public rallies against the extreme changes to the NSW laws surrounding abortion.
- How seriously flawed the bill is, and how deceptive and politically expedient the manner of it’s presentation has been.
On the sexuality crisis in the Australian Anglican Church, Dr Davies –
- says the rupture of the Anglican Church in Australia has begun, with a virus in national church, caused by not teaching properly the word of God.
- described the actions of the Bishop of Wangaratta as a maverick ‘last harrah’.
- labeled the ‘marriage’ of two male priests from Wangaratta as sinful.
- says he’s honoured to be attending Bishop elect Jay Behan’s consecration next month in New Zealand.
- suggests Jay Behan might give pastoral oversight to confessing Anglicans in Australia who want to break with their revisionist diocese.
Finally Dr Davies reflects on his own time as Archbishop in the lead up to his final Synod. Dr Davies says he’s been inspired by the boldness of Paul, and is so thankful for those many people who have prayed for him.
