Michael Jensen (theologian) explained
Michael Peter Jensen (born 7 September 1970), is an Australian clergyman, author, and lecturer. He has served as the rector in the Anglican parish of St Mark's Church, Darling Point since 2013;[1] and was formerly a professor of theology at Moore College, Sydney.[2] He is a son of the former archbishop of Sydney, The Most Reverend Peter Jensen.[3]
On 6 May 2015 Jensen's book You: An Introduction (2008) was banned from state schools by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities on the basis of a "potential risk to students in the delivery of this material, if not taught sensitively and in an age appropriate manner."[4] The ban was lifted 18 May 2015.
In September 2018, Jensen launched a podcast, With All Due Respect,[5] which he co-hosts with Megan Powell du Toit, a Baptist minister. The podcast was the first for Eternity News, an Australian Christian news site, for whom Jensen has also written many articles.[6] [7] The podcast has given rise to a wider project about conversation across difference, The WADR Project, which he and Powell du Toit co-direct.[8] The podcast moved to the Undeceptions Network in 2022.[9]
