False teaching revisionists caused the Australian Church schism - with Foley Beach, Glenn Davies, Richard Condie and Jennifer Hercott
Gafcon Australia Chair Richard Condie has responded to revisionist critics, labelling 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 Aspinal, 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.
Another minister Peter Palmer has resigned saying he can’t serve under Archbishop Aspinall, and wants to serve Jesus under he can count on to lead him to Christ.
