New Prime Minister of Australia an Evangelical Christian

Kevin Rudd?

Kevin Rudd - Wikipedia

 

Faith of the last few Aussie PMs

Morrison: raised uniting church, assemblies of god while PM
Turnbull: raised presbyterian, anglican wedding, catholic while PM
Abbott: catholic (Jesuit)
Rudd: raised catholic, married anglican, non-denominational while PM
Gillard: raised baptist, atheist while PM
Howard: raised methodist, sydney anglican while PM

I would consider Morison, Howard and possibly Rudd to be evangelical Christians.

The Sydney Anglican diocese is ardently conservative evangelical as opposed to the Anglican church in most of the rest of Australia which is more high church (catholic-lite) liberal Anglican.

Are Sydney Anglicans actually Anglicans? – Opinion – ABC Religion & Ethics (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

I attend a sydney anglican church and most of the church is much more conservative than me on theological and social issues. They are also more conservative than my previous baptist church which is more liberal than I am. I still consider myself baptist and don't really identify as anglican even though I have attended sydney anglican churches for the last decade. I also identify more as a conservative evangelical than a liberal evangelical although I acknowledge I frequently straddle both camps.

 

Ah yes, the Jensen brothers...

 

don't know squat about the Horizon Church but don't like mega-churches and don't like the gospel of prosperity. Ugh.

But, this guy's church aside, yet another new PM for Australia? They are going through them fast, Turnbull backed off climate change but that didn't help him last. I kind of like this system in a way, some PMs don't last their first term, but then there's no such concept as a lame duck for them. Bet Trump is happy to see Turnbull go, this new guy has a lump of coal for him.
