A new Anglican diocese, bishop and church in Australia - with Peter Palmer

In Australia, there are now two expressions of Anglicanism.
The first congregation of the new Diocese of the Southern Cross started at Beenleigh in Brisbane last Sunday and the Diocese’s first bishop Glenn Davies will be appointed on Thursday.
Other congregations are expected to join in the next few months.
The spilt in the Australian Anglican Church follows the failure of the Bishops of the National Church to support the denomination’s traditional teaching that marriage is between a man and woman.
It follows similar splits in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Brazil.
Peter Palmer was the minister of St George’s Anglican Church in Brisbane until serving under Brisbane Archbishop Phillip Aspinal became untenable. He had served the Bush Church Aid society for 16 years, having been involved in indigenous ministries in Wyndem WA, church and mining ministry in Coober Pedy, SA and FIFO chaplaincy to mines.
Now, Peter will pastor the new Southern Cross Anglican Church of Beenleigh and Logan.
Peter says his decision to leave the South East Queensland diocese, where he had pastored St George’s Beenleigh for six and a half years, was provoked by the national bishops’ failure to endorse biblical marriage and Archbishop Aspinall’s presidential address at the synod in Brisbane.
Archbishop Aspinall’s address was described by one of his ministers as ‘hurtful, hypocritical and hateful’. bit.ly/3dAVHuJ

Bless you Peter may the Lord strengthen you and guide you from an ex Bus driver of 38 years in Wigan UK. I saw many bus drivers come to Christ who knows how He will use. I will pray for you .Harry

Watched this with excitement & hope from Texas, USA. Praying for & with this new parish & diocese. Praise God! And thanks to God for faithful people standing for the faith once delivered to the saints- our Gospel of Salvation in Christ Jesus.

[@margaretwells5584]

Congratulation! Many will follow. God is faithful to those who are faithful. Thank you for being bold to stand up to the gospel, we need it here in England. God bless, Margaret

[@deborahbell8852]

That is wonderful. It is heart breaking that Bishops in our Anglican Churches have chosen to go against the TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL. GOD BLESS YOU & OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS WHO WILL STAY TRUE TO GOD’S WORD, THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@RevBrettMurphy]

Thanks Dominic for this interview (excellent as always) my prayers are with Peter and I praise the Lord for His courage and willingness to stand firm on God's Word. The diocese of the Southern Cross is a God-send for many faithful Aussie Anglicans trapped in dioceses that have embraced the doctrines of demons. Peter's testimony reveals the ruthlessness of the Revisionists in their wicked desire to eliminate all who stand in the way of their evil schemes.

[@caryyurk1388]

You are a spiritual pioneer brother. Your faith empowered and strengthened by His word and Spirit are giving you all you need to continue your gospel and discipling ministry.

The separation of the sheep from the goats has begun. May God bless these courageous and faithful men and women.

[@krisjustin3884]

God bless Peter Palmer and his Beenleigh Congregation. And may the Lord give guidance, comfort and wisdom to Bishop Davies as he courageously leads this brave flock of believers. The days are coming when evangelicalism will be illegal.

[@noismill]

Thank you 🙏🏼 God bless you we stand with you.

[@lesleyhume3263]

Well done Peter. Our 'pastor' took a similar approach. Our vestry members plus a handful of others went with him. We all made our own choice. We are now under CCAANZ extra provincial diocese..no regrets. 👍

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

God provides for those who love him and stand for his truth. I'm praying with you all.

[@MultiJune123]

I support you all the way. Thank God we have people who will stand on Gods true word. May God bless you. Peter Palmer.

[@chandachilongoshi8813]

Peter Palmer and other like minded christians you are part of the remnant. The Lord always has a remnant and we here in Zambia are with you. The Lord has said he will build his Church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

[@allanyoung6231]

God's word is to be adhered to even if it splits families.

[@ruthbradbury_peter5963]

God bless you brother and all the faithful remnant standing with you for such a time as this. And His gentleness has made you great! Psalm 18 : 35. And may it continue to do so! Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might!

[@davidhill5897]

May the Lord bless Peter for standing on Gods word. We as believers need to resist evil and that’s not with out consequences from the evil one. Love the sinner and hate the sin. Hang together or hang separately.

[@jaredbradley6181]

Praise God!

[@tonymercer7759]

May God's blessing be upon this movement back to His Word and teaching. May He guide and bless the leaders and all who join in the return to the truth of His Word.

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I left the Anglican Church 3 years ago because my local diocese under the direction of Bishop Peter Stewart embraced a female Holy Spirit, I was already out by the time they approved blessing of same sex marriages. There is hope yet. God is calling his people out. Come out of her my people!

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

@ozicrypto G I’m Pentecostal now. I’ve no plans to go back into any form of Catholicism. Much love in Jesus

[@colin.charbel]

@ozicrypto The Anglicans borrowed some of the Catholic form, but the substance is very very different. Like all protestants, they have created a god of their own imagination, and they will continue to divide into the future. Where there is no authority, there can be no unity.

[@NDWTI]

Hallelujah!!! Glory to God in the highest 🙏 🙌

There's nothing wrong with a preacher that drives trucks. Remember the apostle Paul had a job. He made tents. When your steps are ordered by the Lord, He always blesses and makes provisions. He takes care of His sheep❤. God bless you

"New ANGLICAN Diocese". "New"? "And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the new wine burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved." Luke 5:37-39. Thank you to Peter Palmer (Romans 1:20-28)His reward is in God's Hands. "Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate ..." 2 Cor 6:17.

Nothing new the modern Anglican Church has already split three times.

[@drsjdodgson]

I understand from Jesuits that Jesus never once spoke about same sex relationships. I think it is sad that the Anglican Church has split in two because of this.

[@ThePastorsHeart]

You have been misinformed. Jesus said in Mark 10:1-10 that marriage is to be between a man and a woman.

[@universaltruth5680]

Proverbs 14:12

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

Not only did Jesus himself speak about it, but the book of Jude reiterates why Soddom & Gomorrah were destroyed.

[@SunsetHoney615]

It hasn’t been split. The fundamentalist faction has left to start its own business. This is more about property than about belief.

[@crosseyedone7960]

Don't put your faith in man but rather the Word. Read the Bible if you want truth.

[@oangulu]

The church is marching on. The gates of hell shall not prevail. A Christian is one who has repented of sin and renounced sin. Jesus said, 'Go and sin no more.' Repent promptly when you sin but don't make deliberate sin a lifestyle. So help us Lord. 🙏

[@zamyrabyrd]

There are no women preachers, ministers, priests or bishops in Christianity. Already, Anglicans broke away from the teachings of Paul when caving in to feminist demands, not to mention acceptance of deviant sexuality.

[@oloyanixson1285]

Peter ( respectful) God is with you! I am with God, therefore, I am for you. Here, in Uganda, I still uphold the Bible. The day my Bishops in Uganda ascribe to blessing of same sex marriage is the day I will declare them break away.

[@thedailydoseofthehope-denn4413]

Hi, can somebody tell me reasons for church blessing for same sex couple? Only distorted concept of Gods love? Thank you

[@somekindoftony]

I am hearing and reading conflicting reports. I hope Peter received his full workers entitlements when resigning from his position as an Anglican minister. But the idea that he would lead months of services after declaring his intention to leave for another church is frankly ridiculous. The church was generous to give him another week of preaching and I hope he used it to provide some pastoral care to the people hurt by his departure. Now that he has left I hope the remaining congregants are able to recover and move on.

[@chrisrohde4789]

Same sex marriage is only the flashpoint for wider malaise in the Anglican Church. In the name of unity all sorts of unbiblical doctrines are tolerated.

We need an Anglican internet church. Pax

[@childrenoflight3010]

So who gets what ? all those heritage listed churches paid for by ancestors who never even thought of embracing gay marriage, who decides which church property goes to the 2 halves and on what authority does each new anglican church have to decide on the ownership of these multi milliuon dollar properties

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

They’ve sold most of the churches to compensate the victims of the abuse.

Sadly this is just Protestantism doing what it does best - dividing. Christian unity will only ever be found by returning to One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Would that be Orthodox, Catholic, Oriental Orthodox, or Church of the East? Not like Christian have not divided before. We all need the mercy of our Lord.

[@johngregory582]

thank God for his only true Church the Apostolic Catholic Universal Church with its different rites (Roman, Byzantine, Syriac ...) May we reunite with our orthodox brothers and fight the arrogance of Protestantism a cult founded by pride and malice.

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

As opposed to the cult of Catholicism with its idolatry, indulgences, and pagan transubstantiation 🤷‍♀️

[@listerofsmeg]

I think this is a better move for everyone. If you want to care about marriages which is a state run/owned thing more than loving people. Then it's best you go your own way. Mark 10 is about devorse not same sex marriages.

[@gideonliversage8958]

You only read in the text what you want to hear, does everything in live have to be spoon-fed to you ? or do you look for that loophole to justify thinking otherwise. Mark 10 verse 6: “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife".

[@SunsetHoney615]

@@gideonliversage8958 in the end, this movement which did not exist when I grew up in Sydney Anglicanism until my mid teens is a movement that puts a certain form of commitment to biblical literalism above love for our fellow human beings. It is intellectual elitism, cold and uncaring of the damage it has done and continues to do in society. It is better that it stops calling itself Anglican.

[@gideonliversage8958]

@@SunsetHoney615 Then perhaps the progressive Anglicans must also stop calling it a church and stop their continuing wokeness in the name of Jesus ?

[@crosseyedone7960]

@@SunsetHoney615 Actually in my experience it is usually the ordinary folk and not the so-called "intellectuals" that cannot abide in what the progressives (regressives) are doing to the Anglican part of the Body. As far as "love", love is telling those around us the Gospel even if it offends rather than creating a Gospel and a god that does not exist. We are made in His image not our own.
