From The Pastor’s Heart –
“Four Victorian Christian leaders on the controversy that has erupted in Australian National Politics – around the chair of the Victorian based City on a Hill church movement Andrew Thorburn, over his appointment as CEO of the Essendon Football Club and then almost immediate resignation.
When faced with an ultimatum to choose between his church and his new position at Essendon, Thorburn chose his church.
Melbourne’s Herald Sun started the controversy by publishing quotes from two ten year old sermons from City on a Hill on abortion and homosexuality.
Victoria’s Premier Daniel Andrews described City on a Hill’s mainstream Christian views as appalling, intolerant, bigoted, hatred and wrong.
Our guests:
- Neil Chambers, Senior Pastor, Bundoora Presbyterian Church
- Stephanie Judd, Ministry Director, City on a Hill, Melbourne
- Pete Sorrenson, Victorian team leader, Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students
- Tim Grant, Pastor, Grace Christian Community Church.”
– Watch or listen here. Well worth watching.
