Archbishop Peter Jensen is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney in Australia. His theology is of a particularly virulent, fundamentalist strain, which puts him in the same camp as Nigeria's loathsome Archbishop Peter Akinola. In fact, they are personal friends. Archbishop Jensen is a prominent advocate of evangelical Christianity and, as such, has spoken out with some considerable venom and spite against such issues as the consecration of female bishops, stem cell research and gay rights. It would appear to be a case of "do as I say, not as I do" for Archbishop Jenson, however, because not long after his consecration in 2001, he "was accused of nepotism after appointing both his wife (Christine) and his brother (Phillip Jensen) to official positions in the Sydney diocese" (Wikipedia). So much for Archbishop Jensen's exemplary moral virtue!
