The young Kanishka was raised by \u201ca single mother migrant lady in a place where we had no family\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_1665V _2q-Vk\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Archbishop-elect Raffel is unusual in another way: he was raised Buddhist. It was only while at the University of Sydney studying arts and law that he engaged with Christian friends about their faith, read the Gospel of John and converted religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1665V _2q-Vk\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt was transparently historical. I was reading about a real man located in a particular point in history,\u201d he says. \u201cThe picture of Jesus in John\u2019s gospel was just so compelling, and that really provoked me unexpectedly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Archbishop-elect Raffel will be consecrated at the end of the month and arrives amid renewed friction between the conservative Sydney diocese and the national Anglican church, primarily concerning same-sex unions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">His predecessor Glenn Davies was a strong advocate for conservative social values. The church\u2019s decision under Mr Davies to donate $1 million to the same-sex marriage \u201cno\u201d campaign caused controversy, as did\u00a0his 2019 directive to Anglican supporters of marriage equality to \u201cplease leave us\u201d. Dr Davies stressed the missive was directed to bishops, not LGBTQI parishioners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">But the issue continues to divide. In November the church\u2019s national appellate tribunal ruled that\u00a0priests could bless same-sex couples who were already married elsewhere, arguing it would not breach the church\u2019s fundamental principles and was up to each individual diocese.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_1665V _2q-Vk\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Dr Davies said this was untenable as \u201cit would be naive to think that mutually contradictory views on same-sex marriage can co-exist within our national church\u201d. The issue is expected to come to a head at next year\u2019s Anglican general synod, delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">If Anglicans were expecting Mr Raffel to take a different path, they will be disappointed. While he acknowledges \u201cthere are a variety of approaches to marriage\u201d in wider civil society, for the faithful there is only one right answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThere isn\u2019t really any question about what the Christian approach to marriage is,\u201d he says. \u201cI think that\u2019s a given. There\u2019s a consistent Christian approach, and I think we\u2019ll be sticking with that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">For Anglicans who don\u2019t want to stick with that, his message is simple: \u201cJesus is the head of the church. It\u2019s not about what I want or what anybody really wants, it\u2019s about accessing the mind of Christ through attention to his word, and agreeing with that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">To LGBTQI Anglicans: \u201cI\u2019m saying we stand together in the same position at the foot of the Cross. I\u2019m not calling on anyone to do anything other than what I\u2019m calling on us all to do, which is to welcome the loving lordship of Jesus in our lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1665V _2q-Vk\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Asked if donating $1 million to the \u201cno\u201d campaign was a mistake, Mr Raffel says he doesn\u2019t want to discuss the decision-making process. But \u201cwe wanted people to be informed about what we thought some of the issues were, and that costs money\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This year\u2019s census is likely to again show an increase in the number of Australians identifying as having no religion. Mr Raffel denies this arises from the church\u2019s failure to move with the times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe parts of Anglicanism globally that have accommodated themselves to western secular culture are exactly the places where the church is weakest,\u201d he says. \u201cThe places where there\u2019s a robust confidence in God\u2019s word, with a joyful but sacrificial commitment to discipleship and obedience to that word \u2013 those are the places where the church is most vibrant and growing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">More recently, religious leaders have had to grapple with ethical questions over the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Some people of faith are\u00a0concerned it was originally developed using aborted foetal cells from the 1970s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The incoming Archbishop says it\u2019s right to raise the concerns but still counsels people to take the vaccine, noting the abortion was not procured to extract foetal cells and, in any case, it was a long time ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1665V _2q-Vk\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cPeople who take the vaccine today are removed from significant responsibility for it and taking the vaccine is actually a good thing for other people around today,\u201d he says. The 55-year-old is now eligible for the jab and says he will get it himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anglicans elect migrant, former-Buddhist, person of colour as Archbishop of Sydney By Michael Koziol &nbsp; Source:-https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/ The Anglican diocese of Sydney has elected its first person of colour Archbishop, Kanishka Raffel, at a time of significant division in the broader church over the blessing of same-sex couples.
