[edit] Sydney Diocese

Hi Anglicanus, I should have explained my reasons for undoing your revisions.

I get the thing about Sydney being mentioned too much.

The other things I wasn't so sure about. 1. Why cleric instead of clergyman? Clergyman would seem more in the spirit of the diocese. 2. What's wrong with saying the diocese is evangelical in nature? It's more than a tradition - evangelicalism has been an innate part of the diocese since Richard Johnson was promoted by the LMS as the colony's first chaplain. 3. Why larger and not largest? The fact it's prefaced by "one of the" means we're speaking relatively anyway. 4. "as they interpret them" - surely evangelicals lay closer to the spirit of the 39 articles than say anglo-catholics? Anglicanism is by origin a reformed protestant denomination. But this, I guess, is the whole debate in global Anglicanism...

My final issue is the one I'm most confused over... 5. Why do you use evangelical as a proper noun? In my understanding its a common noun describing Christians who understand Christianity in a particular way. That would also mean we need to edit for Liberal, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Reformed, Protestant, etc.

[edit] Branch theory

That article is in such sorry shape because it was created (and written largely) by the chief Roman partisan in the great CC vs. RCC debate a couple of years ago. The article had a strong anti-Anglican POV when I first found it. I have since made some changes to it. Keep working on it if you can. -- Secisek (talk) 08:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
