[Jeremy] Greaves\u2019 appointment will be viewed by many as controversial and even provocative. He gained notoriety for himself when Dean of Darwin Cathedral as a proponent of \u201cprogressive Christianity\u201d\u009d, most recently being lead organiser of the 2016 \u201cCommon Dreams\u201d\u009d conference in Brisbane. He is an outspoken supporter of same-sex marriage but perhaps even more troubling he rejects key understandings of Christianity that he will be required to reaffirm at his consecration (having already promised at his ordination to teach them). One particular example will suffice.<\/p>\n
In a 2010 ABC Radio National interview with Rachael Kohn he took part in a discussion of Progressive Christianity. The interview includes this exchange:<\/p>\n
Rachael Kohn: Do you specifically then have difficulties with the Apostles\u2019 Creed that you might like to rewrite it or ditch it?<\/p>\n
Jeremy Greaves: I\u2019d be happy to abandon the Creed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
