ARCHBISHOP’S
RESIGNATION: AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE JOURNEY OF HEALING FOR VICTIMS No Pokies MLC Nick Xenophon welcomes the resignation of Anglican Archbishop Ian George, calling it an “important step in the process of healing for the victims of sexual abuse that were let down by the church in the past”. “Archbishop George’s resignation should not be seen as lessening the
need for the church as an institution to implement fundamental changes to ensure
that child abuse does not occur under its watch, but, if tragically it does,
it is dealt with with ruthless speed against the perpetrators and with
unbridled compassion towards the victims.”
