Hypocrisy alert!
Not to mention the irony. The Anglican church was created in England so a British king (Henry the 8th) could marry outside of the hallowed Catholic church. King Henry basically gave the Catholic church the finger and created his own church and got married in it; the Anglican church. Effectively changing the religious definition of marriage.
The leader of a church that was only created so that King Henry VIII could remarry to another woman without having to cut his wife’s head off, have today declared they are not in support of changing the legal definition of marriage in Australia.
The Coalition for Marriage has confirmed the No campaign received a $1 million donation from the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to help fund the case against same sex marriage – which would result in a drastic addition of three new words to The Marriage Act.
The donation was publicly announced by Archbishop Glenn Davies in his address to the 51st Synod earlier today — a meeting of all the churches in the Sydney Diocese — but was made about a month ago – around about the same time Qantas CEO Alan Joyce was being criticised by Christian politicians for publicly backing the rights of 70% of his staff who are currently unable to get married.
