“The Bishop of Salisbury has delivered a disciplinary note to Bishop John Ellison
…
A certain church in England, planted a church in Sydney when I was Archbishop – I wasn’t too happy, but I didn’t do anything about it”
…Yes it was border crossing – nobody asked my permission and the church next door lost 20 members when this happened. I am not mentioning any names by the way…”
Yes, quite, well I can mention names – it was The Reverend Nicholas Gumbel at Holy Trinity Brompton who border-crossed without permission and planted Northside in Sydney in 2008, so Justine Jefferts-Schori’s former church border-crossed, and yet he accepted and referred tricky Nicky Holtam’s CDM complaint instead of sending the little $~*% away with a flea in his ear.
This is likely to join the rest of Welby’s banana skin moments like instructing Employers to pay their staff a living wage, only to have it exposed that his own church pays slave labor rates and criticising Wonga, the payday loan sharks, when his church was a major shareholder. What a hypocrite our Archbishop Welby is and how sad to see him emulating the Wicked Katherine Jefferts-Schori as well as taking her money.
Perhaps it is indeed time for discipline for those who assist in the persecution of the brethren from inside the church.
I wasn’t aware of this, but its interesting reading. So, an HTB plant in Sydney in 2008 (probably planned in 2007) and done in partnership with a Baptist church and avoiding any consultation with the Archbishop of Sydney.
Shades of +Spong’s involvement in ordaining women priests to serve in the Anglican Church of Australia in 1988.
Well, so be it. We have no shortage of the un-churched and the un-saved in Sydney, so there are plenty to go around for all stripes of Christianity.
