2 Tuesday October 2 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THERE’S NOTHING too unusual for siblings to turn up in the same sports team. But there’s a special touch about the Stevens’ who compete in the national gymnastics championships starting in Tauranga tomorrow (see page 1). And there’s a set of twins amongst them too. Reporter Jacob Page caught up with them late last week and by all counts they’re great kids. They’ve been competing for nine years. The key to their success is how much time they train each week. They also coach young gymnasts, so no doubt we’ll be hearing a lot more of the Stevens’ as the years roll by. And more today (page 3) on the dust-up in the Anglican church over same sex marriages. - Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO Box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi news Page 4 schools Page 11 community events NOR’WEST NEWS Artwork for New Brighton Sand dunes, ocean, wind and sunrise will be reproduced on a basketball court.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday October 2 2018 3 News Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk • By Ashleigh Monk ANGLICAN Reverend Andy Carley of St Paul’s in Papanui has revealed he will help establish a breakaway diocese in the wake of the same-sex marriage blessings saga. He said nine clergy from seven parishes in Canterbury had resigned and would start to form the diocese, separate from the synod of the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The parishes are St John’s Latimer Square, St Stephen’s in Shirley, St John’s in Woolston, St Saviour’s and St Nicholas in Barrington, St Christopher’s in Avonhead and St Mark’s in Rakaia. “We will establish a new extraprovincial Anglican diocese, one recognised by the majority of the world’s Anglicans, but is separate from the current New Zealand Anglican diocese,” he said. The Anglican Diocese of Christchurch and the synod of the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia declined to comment. St John’s Latimer Square, St Stephen’s, St John’s, St Saviour’s and St Nicholas, St Christopher’s and St Mark’s were contacted for Breakaway diocese under way In Brief ISSUE: Reverend Andy Carley is planning on joining with other clergy from across the country to form a new Anglican diocese. comment but did not respond. St Paul’s parishioner John Stringer said that while he would not join the new diocese, he supported those who would. “I support my friend and vicar Andy and the hundreds, if not thousands, of vicars and Anglicans leaving the denomination,” he said. He compared the issue to having a New Zealand passport, and therefore abiding by the “laws of the land.” “That does not mean we agree with all the laws of the land, like same-gender marriage, or the drinking age, or abortion,” he said. “If the [general synod] pushes us too far theologically against conscience, we may be forced later to ‘leave NZ’ and ‘rescind our passports’.” The St Paul’s congregation voted in September on whether to follow Rev Carley in leaving the church, with 70 per cent voting to stay even if they did not agree with same-sex marriage blessings. “I understand that leaving a church that you have been a part of for many decades is a terribly hard thing to do, especially when you’re elderly,” Rev Carley said. The Anglican synod voted to allow same-sex marriage blessings in May, which Rev Carley said was “a step in the wrong direction.” WITNESS SOUGHT Police are appealing for a witness to come forward following an attempted abduction in Ilam last week. At around 5.50am on Friday September 21, a man tried to abduct a woman jogger at the entrance to Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Rd. The woman fought off the man, and a member of the public driving past stopped to help her. The person who stopped to help then followed the man to a street nearby. Police went to the address and located the man. A 27-year-old was arrested, and has been charged with abduction and assault with intent to injure. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on October 4. Police are still keen to speak with the person who stopped to assist in this incident. Anyone can get in touch by phoning Christchurch Police on 363 7400. OUTDOOR GYM Burnside residents will be able to work out in the sun as the installation of outdoor gym equipment is completed.
