Anglican Bishop Peter Jensen: Why I am a Reformed Christian?

It is inconceivable to think of American Anglicans lecturing on this subject: "Why I am a Reformed Christian?"

From the Sydney Australian Anglican website:

The Most Rev Peter Jensen MA (Hons) (Syd); BD (London); ThL (ACT); D. Phil (Oxford) is Archbishop of the Anglican Church, Diocese of Sydney, and Metropolitan of the Province of New South Wales.

Dr Jensen was elected the 11th Archbishop of Sydney on June 5, 2001 and consecrated on June 29 of that year.

Archbishop Jensen is recognised as a key leader in the worldwide Anglican Church and was one of the organisers of the Anglican Future conference in Jerusalem in 2008.

He is a warm and engaging speaker, but is also an outspoken figure on the Australian religious scene. His advice to the then Prime Minister Howard to ‘read his bible’ was front page news in 2001 and sparked off a national discussion about religion and politics. He has supported asylum seekers and prison reform and in 1998 he lead a debate in the church synod, on concern for victims of child abuse.

Born in Sydney in 1943, he was educated at Bellevue Hill Public School and The Scots College. After what being what he describes as ‘a failure in the law’, he entered Moore Theological College in 1966. He was later to be a lecturer then Principal of that college. He earned a D.Phil from Oxford for his research on Elizabethan Protestantism. In the sixteen years of his principalship the College grew conspicuously.

He has published a number of books and articles and his “At the Heart of the Universe” is used worldwide as an introductory text on Christian Doctrine. In 2005, he was invited by the ABC to deliver the Boyer Lecture Series. The lectures have now been published as a book “The Future of Jesus”.

Peter Jensen is married to Christine. They have five adult children and seventeen grandchildren."

Why I am a Protestant, Reformed, and Evangelical Christian
by Dr Peter Jensen

A quote from the website:

"With his usual clarity, charm, and boldness, the Archbishop of Sydney outlines the reasons why he is Protestant not Catholic, Reformed not Arminian (or Amyraldian), and Evangelical in the best traditions of that term. Originally given as lectures at a preaching conference in the Northern Region of Sydney Diocese in February 2007, these helpful talks will inform, encourage, and challenge Christians to think more carefully about their identity in a confused and confusing world."

Dr. Peter F. Jensen is the Archbishop of Sydney, Australia and formerly Principal of Moore Theological College in Sydney.

Not an Amyraldian, of note. This lecture is about 60 minutes.

Wikipedia carries this on Dr. Jensen:

"Jensen was born in Sydney and educated at Bellevue Hill Public School and The Scots College. After completing his Leaving Certificate he studied law for two years and worked as an articled clerk before he moved into primary school teaching. He entered Moore Theological College in the late 1960s[2] and won the Hey Sharp prize for coming first in the Licenciate of Theology, the standard course of study at that time. He also has a Master of Arts degree from Sydney University, a Bachelor of Divinity degree from the University of London, and a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degree from the University of Oxford. His 1976 master's dissertation was entitled `Calvinism and the Persecution of the Witches in England (1563–1604)' and his 1979 doctoral dissertation was entitled `The Life of Faith in the Teaching of Elizabethan Protestantism.'"
