[Sydney Morning Herald] 19 Sep 2008--The Archbishop of Sydney, Peter Jensen, is helping to organise a breakaway faction of the global Anglican Church that is opposed to same-sex blessings and the consecration of gay clergy from his diocesan headquarters at St Andrews House.
The controversial move has angered moderates in the Australian church.

The postbox address for the Sydney diocese and its bishops is the central contact point for the movement that emerged from a meeting of more than 1000 Anglican conservatives in Jerusalem last month.

Those supporting the movement's call for a return to strict literal interpretations of the Bible have been invited to become members of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans and send expressions of interest to the Sydney postbox.

Dr Jensen was appointed secretary to its primates' council in London last month.

By "moderates" this article is referring to liberals.
