The Episcopal Standards Board of the Anglican Church of Australia has published its determination in relation to the conduct of Roger Herft, former Bishop of Newcastle and former Archbishop of Perth.
The Episcopal Standards Commission provided a report to the Board in 2020, referring questions relating to Roger Herft’s response to allegations of child sexual abuse by clergy when he served as Bishop of Newcastle between 1993 and 2005.
The determination and a statement by the Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia can be accessed on the General Synod website at: https://anglican.org.au/governance/tribunals/episcopal-standards-board/
