Appellate Tribunal Prepares to Issue Critical Opinion

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 09:47:42 GMT

Keen observers of the Anglican Church of Australia will be anxiously watching for any sign of an opinion being issued by the Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal is the Anglican Church of Australia’s equivalent of a highest court, albeit with no actual power to rule but only to offer opinions. Nevertheless, in recent years it has […]

Primate vs Ex-Primate. The full spectrum of the Anglican Church of Australia

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 05:33:22 GMT

A couple of recent events, similar to each other yet also radically different, serve to demonstrate the vastly different approaches being taken by our most senior leaders in the Anglican Church of Australia on the most pressing issues before us. It is now perfectly obvious that some of our leaders are more than prepared to […]

TGCA Podcast – What Preachers Can Learn from Teachers

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 00:43:16 GMT

A few weeks ago I sat down with Fiona Wright and Luke Pereira as part of The Gospel Coalition Australia’s new podcast series, Everyday Conversations. We discussed what preachers and church leaders can learn from our fellow educators. As you might expect, the answer is “a huge amount”. Enjoy.

"…and books were opened.”

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 02:10:29 GMT

The Governor-General and the Chief Secretary have had their books opened today. Time will tell what the judgement will be. One day we will stand alongside them and even the monarch that they represent as our own books are opened. What will the judgement be then for you?

Deconstructing Creation and the Better Story of the Creator

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 07:16:12 GMT

Call it “Cultural Marxism”, call it something else, there can surely be no doubting that there is a particular wave of Marxist-influenced leftism that is coursing through much of Western society today. While it may not be on the lips of everyone who is currently holding a protest banner, it’s proponents are obviously working away […]

"Cultural Marxism” on Cultural Markisms

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 06:29:15 GMT

I’m doing a number of posts on this topic over these few days. Here’s a conversation I had with Mark Powell of Cultural Markisms on the new website the good sauce. Thanks for all your engagement. I’ll have one more thing for you tomorrow.

If not "Cultural Marxism”, then what?

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 03:20:39 GMT

The label “Cultural Marxism” has been used for a while now by some people to describe a particular wave of activism that we’re increasingly seeing across our western liberal democracies. What’s happened more recently is a push back against the label. Critics suggest that it’s not accurate and therefore not useful, even misleading. So I […]

The Truth Behind the Emergence of Islam – Jay Smith

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 00:35:52 GMT

Any claim the size of Islam’s (or Christianity or anything else) needs to not be falsifiable. This 2+ hour lecture is well worth your time as Jay Smith lays out in detail the evidence that the popular narrative of Islam centred around Mecca is simply not true and, rather, is a fabrication of Islamic rulers […]

On Black, Lives and What Really Matters

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 04:31:51 GMT

It seems that the role of every brave (or stupid) blogger is, at some point, to wander where angels fear to tread and make some comment on the hot issue of the day. No issue has been more fiery than the current furnace raging over the question of race and for many Christians there is […]
