From Australia-The Anglican Church is quietly preparing for a hearing that could see the defrocking of one of its former bishops, five months after the royal commission recommended he face disciplinary action for ignoring complaints from sexual abuse victims.
Keith Slater, whose title remains the Right Reverend, was forced to resign as the Grafton Bishop in 2013 for the way he handled abuse claims from a group of 40 people.
They were men and women who had been sexually, physically and or psychologically abused at the
North Coast Children's Home in Lismore between the 1940s and the 1980s.
