Preserving preaching Christ - with Michael Stead

The whole concept of a tolerant society is being spun around.

Sydney Anglican Bishop Michael Stead says there are moves afoot to block Christians from being able to say that ‘Christ is the only way to heaven.’

It’s also being claimed by Equality Australia that to say ‘marriage is between a man and woman’ is an offensive statement. 

Bishop Stead says he wants to protect moderately expressed statements of religious belief.  

There are two parallel parliamentary inquiries into religious freedom taking place this summer, due to report back in February. 

Then the Federal Government is expected to take revised draft Religious Freedom legislation back to the parliament in March, to fulfil a previous election promise. 

Sydney Bishop Michael Stead, who chairs the Anglican Church of Sydney’s Religious Freedom Reference Group, has just submitted substantial submission to the inquiry on behalf of that group.
