This address by Archbishop Peter Jensen of Sydney was given on February 18 2008 and, though still completely relevant, needs to be read in that context.
The decision of our bishops not to attend the Lambeth Conference is the culmination of ten years of thought, prayer and action.
We have played our part in challenging false teaching and practice, always hoping that those who have flouted the strong position taken by the last Lambeth Conference (in 1998) would turn back in repentance. As part of this, we have developed strong fellowship links with the many Anglican Christians all over the world who feel as we do that the crisis over human sexuality is of momentous significance, and who are determined not to accept unbiblical teaching and sinful practice.
