[Brisbane Times] 18 Sep 2007--The great mission of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, Dr Peter Jensen, to convert 10 per cent of Sydneysiders to its "Bible-based" churches has fallen short of its target and only recruited 5000 adult converts in the past five years.

Far from being discouraged, the Archbishop has announced a fresh $1.8-million offensive to stir the spirit of the city's unchurched, including gospel giveaways, a meet-and-greet campaign in supermarkets, shopping centres, clubs and prisons, and support for a television campaign to promote Jesus to Australians.
