The majority of St Paul’s Anglican Church
parishioners have voted to remain with the congregation, in spite of the
church’s vicar resigning.
Reverend Andy Carley announced he would step down
from his role at the Papanui church in November due to the Anglican
synod’s decision to allow same-sex marriages to be blessed in Anglican
churches.
Church member and Papanui-Innes Community Board
member John Stringer said 75 per cent of parishioners voted to remain at
the church.
“Only a small minority will go. Some may even decide to come back,” he said.
