The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

An Aussie diocese chooses apostasy. How to react? - with Kanishka Raffel

Kanishka Raffel Season 2 Episode 36

The synod of the Australian diocese of Wangaratta, Victoria has decided to walk a path that stands in opposition to the teaching of the bible, defies the theology of the national church and rejects the agreement of the national bishops council.

Kanishka Raffel is Anglican Dean of Sydney and a member of the council of Gafcon Australia

Dean Raffel has told Dominic Steele on The Pastor’s Heart that the decisions by Bishop Parkes' Wangaratta diocese parallel those made by revisionists in the New Westminster diocese in Canada, which precipitated the formation of parallel Anglican expressions.

Decisions similar to those in Wangaratta have ended up splitting the Anglican Church in Canada, the United States, Scotland and New Zealand.

Dean Raffel says to seek to bless something that God says is not blessed, is not the religion of Christ.
