Church leadership

I've just finished listening to the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney's opening address to the 2007 Sydney Synod, delivered on Monday. It is an inspiring blend of gospel proclamation, theological thinking, perceptive analysis of our society, humour, vision-setting, and powerful challenge to Sydney Anglicans to pray and sacrificially participate in the vision he (or, more accurately, God) has set before them.
Naturally, it will be of great interest to Sydney Anglicans. But, in my view, it is a model of what Christian leadership of a church or denomination should be like, and it is encouraging for any Christian person to listen to. Praise God for his servant Peter Jensen.
