        formed over split over same sex marriage at Gafcon Australia
        not part of Anglican Church of Australia
        in 2020 diocese of Wangaratta went ahead with marriage of 2 gay male priests which diocese of Sydney would not agree to so in end a new diocese was formed to allow members of congregations in dioceses e.g. Southern Queensland, Wangaratta, Melbourne, North Queensland and Perth, who allow same sex marriage to start a new congregation under Diocese of the Southern Cross and transfer members to there and let the old congregation get a new minister and stay with same sex marriage diocese
        has same Anglican-like conservative liturgy and prayer book
        no same sex marriage
        evangelical
        Glenn Davies first bishop
        diocese of Sydney is still part of Anglican Church of Australia
        women ordination allowed
        Anglican Church of Australia is a mixture of non same sex marriage and same sex marriage dioceses - 10 bishops wanted non same sex marriage and 12 bishops wanted same sex marriage so same sex marriage won so big split as neither would back down
        evangelical dioceses like Sydney and Tasmania will connect to Diocese of the Southern Cross but same sex marriage dioceses like Southern Queensland and North Queensland won't so they will have a few to help them but also a lot of enemies in the liberal dioceses trying to shut them down and get the members they lost back again
        same sex marriage diocese of Brisbane sacked evangelical minister in Beenleigh so he drove buses and formed a new congregation under Diocese of the Southern Cross in another venue - quite vitriolic break up - he got kicked out when he wouldn't officiate at same sex marriage in his church - quite dreadful primate in Brisbane - Aspinall is a liberal not an evangelical so blocks evangelicals
        Ridley College and Moore College support both Anglican Church of Australia and Diocese of the Southern Cross
        USA, Canada and other countries have a split in Anglicans over liberal and evangelical
        liberal Anglican churches worldwide lost a lot of members altogether or to other churches of evangelical members - huge disaster
        this Diocese of the Southern Cross is to give safety zone for evangelical members in same-sex marriage liberal dioceses

    - Cyclone Alfred will hit Caboolture on Thursday night or Friday morning with high winds and rain according to this video from CyclonesOz. Not good. I have enough food. Windows might smash and whirlybirds on roof get blown off and verandah get wrecked. Garage might fall and hit car. Power might go out and computer, fridge, hot water and lights not work. I will see. I lived through Cyclone Althea in December 1971 in Townsville. Memorial Hall Caboolture is meeting point if flat is unliveable. I have torch and charged phone for communication if cell tower is working. #cyclone #alfred #caboolture
