Interview with Peter Jensen – Dean of Sydney

4 05 2008

Interesting interview available for download here.The interviewee is Philip Dean of Sydney and the brother of the Archbishop of Sydney. Both Jensons are significant figures in the ‘Global South’ coalition of Conservative Anglicans drawn from the southern hemisphere, and this interview gives an insight into the thinking of one of them at this time.

Refreshingly candid (no Anglican fudge and obfuscation here), Philip talks about Sydney cathedral prior to his arrival – ‘a basket case’, Ecclesiastical politics – ‘nasty’, plus Evangelicalism and Anglicanism – ‘we thought about leaving’.

9 Marks the site hosting the interview has been added to the blogroll. It offers a Reformed perspective on church life, and is worth browsing, their e-journal is worth subscribing to for the book reviews alone. I seldom agree with everything, but it is always thought provoking and well written, with a keen awareness of the issues of the day.
