The Pastor, Church Discipline and the Supreme Court - with Robert Forsyth and Neil Foster

Just over a decade ago Bishop Robert Forsyth and I were engaged in a church discipline process that eventually ended up before the NSW Supreme Court. 

Today we address lessons learned during that difficult season. Robert and I will relive a difficult part of our lives. Associate Professor of Law Neil Foster will bring expert commentary. 

Can I urge you to be circumspect in discussing this episode.  We have been careful in our words. We want to warn against maverick comments on social media. Nothing in this episode should be taken as legal advice. 

- Dominic Steele, Minister 

Bishop Robert Forsyth is the Former Anglican Bishop of South Sydney.
