But we shouldn’t be too quick to disdain, he has been spending his literary and spiritual powers on a greater and more noble cause.<br /><br />At last it seems that one of the top dogs of the family firm have felt some regret and written an apology for the centuries of Ugly Anglicanism inflicted on the hapless folk of Sydney. <br /><br />Simply titled ‘Sydney Anglicanism: An Apology’, Jensen’s new book promises to finally repent the gratuitous arrogance , callous bigotry and frantic wowserism synonymous with the brand. (I wonder if he offers to repay the taxes they have so long evaded?)<br /><br />The publisher’s review suggests Jensen goes as far as to lift the lid on some sordid criminal goings-on around the Diocese: “Michael Jensen provides a unique insider's view into the convictional world of Sydney Anglicanism.”<br /><br />I fear, though, that the other Angries aren’t quite so prepared to seek forgiveness. A look around the various Angries and para-Angries’ websites finds nary a mention – no launch, no review, no outpouring of remorse or shame - not even an update on his publications list at the Moore College site – which is now ominously empty. So lacking has been any recognition of this profound turn in Sydney Angrianism that Jensen has had to revive his old website just to get a mention out there. <br /><br />This is not surprising. A few weeks ago Uncle Phillip sent out a thinly veiled warning that he would brook no apology for the work of the Angries. He obviously knew what Michael was planning and tried to pre-empt any groundswell of fellow feeling in the ranks. Here’s a snippet:<br />“If we are going to be so bold as to suggest that people should change their religion, shouldn’t we apologise for all the wrong things that our church has done over the centuries? Shouldn’t we assure people that they are every bit as moral as we are and their views have as much, if not more, good points than ours? Isn’t considering Christianity superior pride? http://sydneyanglicans.net/ministry/thinking/apologetic-evangelism-an-oxymoron<br /><br />Can you guess what the correct answers to these questions were?<br /><br />The Dean may have succeeded in quashing any publicity for Michael’s book, but I think we owe it to the brave young Jensen to keep the fires burning and support his humble sacrificial willingness to say ‘I’m sorry’ and stand up to the capofamiglia – for which he will, no doubt, be paying eternally.<br />Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-58968245328665205452012-09-30T10:56:03.999+10:002012-09-30T10:56:03.999+10:00Dear God!
