Redress. The Anglican Diocese of Tasmania has included two local churches in a preliminary list of properties proposed for sale.
St Paul’s Church in Stanley and St Bartholomew’s Church in Forest are among the 108 properties proposed for sale by the Anglican Church in Tasmania to form a redress fund.
The fund will cover $8 million in liability payments to survivors of child sexual abuse in the church.
Reverend Richard Condie, Anglican Bishop of Tasmania, said the fund would be formed from congregation and church contributions as well as profits made from the sale of properties.
