A MELBOURNE Anglican bishop has attacked Sydney Archbishop Peter Jensen for disturbing ordinary Anglicans and endangering young gay people with his "rhetoric" over homosexuality in the church.
Bishop Philip Huggins has written to The Age suggesting that Dr Jensen is "deluded" about the Jerusalem conference of 300 evangelical Anglican bishops that ended on Sunday with the launch of a conservative church within a church. In an opinion article in The Age yesterday, Dr Jensen said the new group was a necessary response to the chaos caused by revisionist teaching on homosexuality in the United States and Canada, and that the Jerusalem conference had brought order out of chaos and would renew the worldwide Anglican Church.
Melbourne's Vicar-General, Bishop Paul White, wrote to all clergy on Friday saying it would be premature to comment on media reports about division in the global Anglican Church.
