The Sydney Anglican Diocese has joined the Director of Public Prosecutions and the NSW Ombudsman in urging tough new safeguards against MP misdeeds, including mandatory declaration of a spouse's financial interests....but members didn't seem to worry when their own Diocese was taken over by Jensens

The sentiment behind the Sydney Anglican Diocese, urging tough new safeguards against MP misdeeds, including mandatory declaration of a spouse's financial interests is laughable ... especially when you have a diocese that had a family who commandeered it

to the point that, it used the diocese to peddle resources published by its family's media company, used positions of authority to boycott Lambeth and align it with homophobes, kept women submissive, and oversaw the borrowing of money from banks to invest in stocks, which saw the loss of, in excess of, $160 million dollars of Diocesan money.

The Obeid family's behaviour does deserve criticism but not from a diocese which allowed a family to rule with an iron fist. 

You know Bill...history is not going to be very kind to Sydney Anglican Jensenism...and it is going to take the diocese a long time to regain any level of credibility

Is history ever kind to those who promote and enforce bigotry, Calam? 

Just think how many people could have been fed with over $160 million...and this is the first time ...that I've seen this diocese help anyone...I hope this archbishop and his family aren't profiteering from poultry farms...I mean the last archbishop ... had a policy that was more in keeping with... let them starve but save their souls ...through selling them Bible bashing resources. I'll always remember listening to Peter Jensen... when he was asked one Christmas ...what a starving homeless person should do at Christmas ...and his answer was ...think of Jesus! ...No ...not come to my church and I'll feed you....****ing mean spirited Calvinists...and they call themselves Christians because their religion is limited to reading the Bible!
