Archbishop Jensen on the Conference

[GAFCON] 27 Dec 2007--Writing for sydneyanglicans.net, Archbishop Peter Jensen of Sydney Diocese has unpacked some of the background behind the 2008 Holy Land Conference.

A Global Anglican Future Conference is planned for June 2008. The aim of the Conference is to discuss the future of mission and relationships within the churches of Anglican Communion. Those who wish to retain biblical standards especially in the area of sexual ethics have spent much time and effort in negotiations on these issues in the last five years. They want to move on together with the gospel of Christ’s Lordship, a gospel which challenges us and changes lives. Israel is planned as a venue because it symbolises the biblical roots of our faith as Anglicans. I want those in the fellowship of our Diocese to know what this is about and why I am involved.
