Anglican Archbishop Philip Freier: 'Regrettable' if Anglican clergy leave for Catholic church

Archbishop Philip Freier estimates up to 30 Melbourne clergy consider themselves to be Anglo-Catholics.

He says their departure would be regrettable, but it is a matter of conscience.

“I think the Anglican Church expresses the doctrines of Christianity and it’s been a very nurturing place for me, and my faith, and many other Anglicans,” he said.

“But if people have a decision on conscience, I’d want to respect that because I think that we’re fortunate to live in a society where our religious beliefs are a matter of principle and conscience.”
