[Sydney Morning Herald] 7 Jul 2008--The head of the Australian Anglican Church, Phillip Aspinall, has warned a breakaway conservative faction that its members risked a legal battle if they tried to overstep the laws of the church.
Speaking on ABC Radio last night, Dr Aspinall said he was saddened by the rift and disappointed by the Sydney Archbishop's boycott of the forthcoming meeting of church leaders at Lambeth, and said the rebels' actions added to "confusion and chaos" in the church.
With less than a week until the arrival of the Pope, he also expressed reservations about new police powers to fine people considered to be annoying World Youth Day pilgrims.
More finger-shaking from the far left.Note to readers: While geographically not the largest diocese of the Anglican Church of Australia, the Diocese of Sydney contains more than 50% of all the Anglicans in Australia.
