It’s not unusual to see worshippers speak in tongues, which is viewed as miraculous gift and a kind of direct language from God.


“Christianity in Australia is still the majority faith, even though there is a downward trend over the past decade,” Dr James said.

A review of religious freedoms conducted by former Liberal MP Philip Ruddock, undertaken after the passage of marriage equality, could be ‘sped up’ by Mr Morrison.
