False teaching revisionists caused the Australian Church schism - with Foley Beach, Glenn Davies, Richard Condie and Jennifer Hercott
08/18/22 • 30 min
Gafcon Australia Chair Richard Condie has responded to revisionist critics, labeling them as false teachers who have rejected Biblical and Anglican doctrine, and are responsible for the current Australian church schism.
Gafcon has formed an Anglican lifeboat for faithful Christians, the ‘Diocese of the Southern Cross’ announced at the big GAFCON Australasia Conference, this week in Canberra.
It will be a new ‘safe place for gospel ministry’ for ministers and churches who can’t work under bishops who are false teachers.
Bishop Condie has rejected the Primate of Australia’s statement that the new Southern Cross Diocese is not Anglican.
Bishop Condie says the Anglican Communion and the Anglican Church in Australia is broken.
Bishop Condie has called on the revisionist bishops to return to biblical orthodoxy, and says if they repented, he would be the first to vote for the closing down of the Diocese of the Southern Cross.
At the Australian General Synod in May, only ten of Australia’s Bishops affirmed that marriage in God’s sight is only between a man and a woman.
The Archbishop of Sydney Kanishka Raffel said in response the national church is in a precarious position.
Revisionist Archbishop of Brisbane Phillip Aspinall, further provoked tensions in his Presidential address, with a blistering attack on evangelicals, described by one of his minister’s as hurtful, hypocritical and hateful.
Guests on this week’s The Pastor’s Heart:

A new Anglican diocese, bishop and church in Australia - with Peter Palmer
In Australia, there are now two expressions of Anglicanism.
The first congregation of the new Diocese of the Southern Cross started at Beenleigh in Brisbane last Sunday and the Diocese’s first bishop Glenn Davies will be appointed on Thursday.
Other congregations are expected to join in the next few months.
The spilt in the Australian Anglican Church follows the failure of the Bishops of the National Church to support the denomination’s traditional teaching that marriage is between a man and woman.
It follows similar splits in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Brazil.
Peter Palmer was the minister of St George’s Anglican Church in Brisbane until serving under Brisbane Archbishop Phillip Aspinal became untenable. He had served the Bush Church Aid society for 16 years, having been involved in indigenous ministries in Wyndem WA, church and mining ministry in Coober Pedy, SA and FIFO chaplaincy to mines.
Now, Peter will pastor the new Southern Cross Anglican Church of Beenleigh and Logan.
Peter says his decision to leave the South East Queensland diocese, where he had pastored St George’s Beenleigh for six and a half years, was provoked by the national bishops’ failure to endorse biblical marriage and Archbishop Aspinall’s presidential address at the synod in Brisbane.
Archbishop Aspinall’s address was described by one of his ministers as ‘hurtful, hypocritical and hateful’. https://bit.ly/3dAVHuJ
