Tasmanian Anglican congregations fighting to save churches marked for sale

From Australia-

Anglicans around Tasmania are frustrated they are being asked to "buy back their own property" in order to prevent churches from being sold to pay child sex abuse redress claims.

The Anglican Diocese of Tasmania announced earlier this year they would be selling off more than 100 properties, including 76 churches, to help fund the $8.6 million needed for the National Redress Scheme.

The scheme, which began in July this year, provides support for the victims of institutional child sexual abuse.

But only 25 per cent of funds from the sale of Tasmanian buildings will go to the scheme; the church will quarantine the rest to help continue ministry in areas that lose church buildings.
