This after a misconduct investigation led by the Anglican’s own Safe Church Officer, Jack Walsworth. The 129-page report involved thousands of hours of interviews, outlined serious findings of misconduct. It recommended the reinstatement of Ms. Kay Short who was fired by Bishop John Organ. That was due to happen by June 30th and Organ was ordered to take a leave until his retirement in October. Also, he is continuing as Bishop.
