Summary As Anglican Archbishop of Perth since 1981, Peter Carnley has stirred up controversy with his progressive religious and social views. When he was elected Primate of Australia in 2000, an article written for The Bulletin magazine prompted a public furore. How, with signature candour, he shares his opinions of some of the key ideological questions facing the Church and society as a whole today. These include the phenomenon of 'Sydney Anglicanism', his own position of 'progressive orthodoxy', lay presidency at the Eucharist, women's ordination, genetics and stem cell research, and religious tolerance both inside and outside the Christian Church
