[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 9 Feb 2008--Bishop of South Sydney, Robert Forsyth says the Sydney Diocese rejects the Archbishop of Canterbury’s suggestion integrating Sharia law with British legal systems would deliver greater social cohesion.

“We do not agree with the Archbishop’s comments,” Bishop Forsyth says, as the spokesman for the Sydney Diocese on this issue.

“In the case of Australia, we are thankful for freedom of religion, but would oppose the idea of different systems of law for different people groups.”

Bishop Forsyth adds that the Archbishop of Canterbury’s suggestion – adopting parts of Sharia law in the British legal system – is not the best way to maintain social cohesion.
