[The Church of England Newspaper] October 28, 2005--Anglican plans to offer refuge to dissidents of rival Churches could trigger legal injunctions and threaten the position of the archbishop, critics have warned. Opponents argue that licensing clergy outside the diocese was “inconsistent” with the constitution of the Anglican Church of Australia and could expose the Archbishop, Dr Peter Jensen, to charges that could “deprive him of office.” Proponents of the move, discussed at last week’s diocesan synod, have been accused of trying to covertly usher in a network of like-minded churches outside of Sydney — expanding its influence well beyond the diocesan boundaries.
