Baptists and National Law

Baptist minister of 31 years Mark Tronson, chairman of Well-Being Australia and cricket chaplain of 24 years claims that the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent comments on sharia law 'impacts' Baptist thinking.

Each State Baptist Union has its own rules for the practice of Christian Ministry. This includes areas such as discipline, misconduct and withdrawal of accreditation. These rules too would have parallel legal jurisdiction.

“Further, imagine if each Denomination had parallel legal jurisdiction within Australian Law, I might be a Baptist one day and a Presbyterian the next depending on the circumstance. The whole issue is filled with the ridiculous,” mused the 56 year old Tronson.
