You let the Registrar a bit of slack from registering the bishop’s licences and look what he gets up to:

(The Registrar) successfully moved a motion urging the Government to “take immediate and sufficient steps to ensure that all persons intercepted on their way to or arriving on our shores, by whatever means, are treated with dignity, respect and in a way which does not impact adversely on their physical or mental well-being.”

The motion also asks the Primate to write to both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition to communicate this. 

 

He told Anglican Media Melbourne that responses to the issue “too frequently appeal to baser motives, leverage off fear, incipient racism or fundamentally selfish tendencies, and do not reflect the values of the Kingdom of God.

 

“Whatever the long-term solution, we must respond to these people in ways which fully recognise their value in God’s sight and that they are created in God’s image.”
