Sydney Standing Committee motion on Gippsland ‘breach of trust’

So much for submitting to authority: Sydney Standing Committee motion on Gippsland ‘breach of trust’ : Anglican Church League, Sydney, Australia:
The resolution continued “Standing Committee considers that Bishop McIntyre’s earlier appointment of a practising homosexual to a ministry office and his May 18, 2012 statement represent –
(a)        a departure from the teaching of Scripture,
(b)        a departure from the Lambeth Resolution I.10 of 1998,
(c)        a departure from Faithfulness in Service §7.4,
(d)        a breach of the Australian Bishops’ Protocol agreed to by all Australian bishops (including the Bishop of Gippsland) in March this year,
(e)        a breach of trust and fellowship at a profound level which deeply grieves us.
