The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele
Episode • Feb 28, 2023 • 43m

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. 

Associate Professor Neil Foster is on the faculty of the University of Newcastle, and is the author of the popular Law and Religion Australia blog
