THE Anglican Church of Australia has re-elected Brisbane Archbishop Phillip Aspinall as its leader for a further six years.
A meeting of the church’s board of electors in Sydney today re-elected Dr Aspinall as Primate.
Dr Aspinall thanked his colleagues for their support and said he was humbled to again be elected to the national role.
In reality he was chosen because no one else is able to gather enough votes! If the vote was taken by active membership alone, then the Archbishop of Sydney would be primate, something the liberals would find rather difficult to deal with.
