New South Wales’ Conversion Practices Ban Act has just come into effect — along with guidelines from Anti-Discrimination NSW that many Christian leaders believe overstep the legal boundaries and impact ordinary pastoral ministry.
We are joined by legal expert Associate Professor Neil Foster, South Sydney Bishop Michael Stead, and Summer Hill Anglican Assistant Minister Simon Swadling.
Together, we unpack the implications of the new law for Christian preaching, prayer, counselling, and discipleship — especially in matters of sexuality, marriage, and gender.
We discuss:
- The difference between the legislation and the government’s explanatory materials
- The implications for pastors, parents, and churches
- The tone and posture of faithful gospel ministry in a hostile legal environment
- Why some pastors are calling for civil disobedience — and others for restraint

It was the twentieth of May in the year 325 that the Council of Nicaea first met. Pope Francis said ‘The Nicene Creed is a powerful sign of unity among Christians.’ The 17 hundredth anniversary of the Council of Nicaea - is being used - by the Roman Catholic Church to push the idea that ‘All Christians are Nicene Christians.’ However the difficulty is that while we say the same words, Roman Catholics and Protestants mean vastly different things, and any unity is a fake unity at best.

Evangelist and author Glen Scrivener outlines signs of a "quiet revival" emerging, particularly among young people in the United Kingdom (and how things are different in Australia).

1 SPECIAL: Will the Pope go to heaven? Protestants understanding Roman Catholicism in a Post-Francis world 30:27
30:27 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked30:27
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe death of Pope Francis marks a pivotal moment for Roman Catholics. What does this transition mean for the future of Catholicism and how should Protestants respond? From Vatican City, Leonardo Di Chirico offers a firsthand perspective on reactions in Rome, while Rachel Ciano provides historical context from Sydney. Many Protestant leaders have referred to Francis as a "brother in Christ," but Francis's final public act—granting indulgences during Easter—epitomizes the theological chasm between Catholic and Protestant understandings of salvation. His distinctive Marian devotion and frequent requests for prayers further highlight fundamental differences in how salvation is understood. The contrast between Benedict XVI's emphasis on Roman doctrine and Francis's focus on Catholic universality reveals a pendulum swing in Roman Catholicism that will likely now swing back. Leonardo di Chirico is pastor of the Church Brecca di Roma and director of the Reformanda Initiative .

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThere are claims - and you hear them every so often - that archeology has disproved this story or that in the bible, and claims from this or that scholar of particularly late dating of different bible books. How do we as evangelical pastors react/respond/answer those claims? Hans Kristensen is senior pastor of Marsfield Community Church in Sydney and is studying ancient archaeology. He suggests that there are 10 major archaelogical finds that help us to increase our confidence in the Old Testament: There’s evidence of a big population jump in Caanan at exactly the time that the bible said that Yahweh was giving Israel the land, called the ‘Hill Country Explosion.’ The Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah boasts of raiding the land of Caanan, saying it was occupied by Israel. In the city of Hazor, archaeologists have found religious idols destroyed and other items intact, just as expected from Joshua 11-12 The recently discovered altar at Mount Ebal is likely Joshua’s altar (Joshua 8) In the Tel Dan inscription we now have archeological evidence for King David’s existence. There’s consistent architectural town planning in the cities built around the time of David and Solomon - pointing towards planning and control under one ruler (eg a King). There are similarities between what we know of the temple of Solomon and a similar temple built at Ain Dara, about 30 kilometres from Beirut, showing Solomon’s temple fits into the religious and architectural landscape of the time. The discovery of six massive chambered gates at Hazor, Meggido and Gezer and other architectural discoveries at those sites corresponds with 1Kings 9:15. A ninth century battle account from King Moab of Mersha mirrors the one in 2 Kings 3. The Biblical chronology of the listed kings matches almost exactly with archeological evidence.

A new report ( bit.ly/AttendancePatterns ) shows Adult Attendance in churches in Sydney is down 7% or 14% against population (over a decade). Adult attendance declined at approximately two-thirds of Sydney Anglican comparable church centers, and only one-third of church centers recorded an increase in attendance. The big problem is newcomers. We just are not reaching them. Newcomers are down to 5.4%. And with fewer new people joining churches, the churches that are growing are primarily growing at the expense of churches that are declining. A noticeable decline in attendance was recorded in 2018-2019, especially in the most rapidly secularising areas of our region. The issues are not just external. We have internal issues. There are denominational and congregational factors at play. There are key church health characteristics that show internal health factors are lower in those regions - factors relating to congregational character and leadership.
