Adelaide's Anglican Church Synod has heard that slow but positive progress is being made in mediation with the victims of sexual abuse.

That is despite reports that victims are outraged by a church compensation offer.

The 270 ordained and lay members of the Synod are meeting this weekend at St Peter's College.

In his report to the Synod, diocese administrator John Collas says the past 16 months have been the most traumatic and difficult the Anglican Church has experienced since its first bishop arrived.
