Bishop John McIntyre (The Age 29/09 'A betrayal of the faith') has done a significant thing. An Anglican diocesan bishop has made it very clear that Victorian Attorney-General Rob hulls' pre-emption of the forthcoming report on exemptions to the Equal Opportunity Act actually does not address the concerns of all Christians, let alone all who value basic human rights. A bitter row has already broken out online in response, including some predictable arguments. The charge of defending privilege rather than upholding 'a truth that lies at the very heart of the Christian understanding of the universal dignity of every human being' stands as a very serious condemnation.
