The Anglican Church will hold a special hearing in Adelaide on charges against a South Australian bishop for bullying and emotional abuse.Bishop Ross Davies, who is facing the allegations, resigned from the Murray diocese last Friday after a lengthy period of sick leave, reports ABC.
The report said that it was unclear whether he would face any punishment now that he has resigned.
Murray Bridge parishioner, Lee Lyons, says she hopes the hearing will finalise the matter.
"I know that the bishop has resigned and I know that that's one step forward but there's also got to be closure for all the others things that have caused a lot of hurt and concern."
"I don't really feel that sort of feeling of vengeance. I really want to see that things are finalised and that there is some reckoning."
