Anglican Church 'sacrificing traditional worshipers'

[ABC Tasmania] 17 Dec 2007--The Anglican Church has unveiled plans to reform and modernise the church in Tasmania.

The plan, costing $250,000 a year, has angered some parishioners, who have accused the church of ignoring its traditional worshippers.

With many of the church's congregations dwindling and some churches recently closed, the Bishop of Tasmania, John Harrower, says it is time to re-engage with the community.

"Out of the church and into the 21st century, out of the church and into the world," he said.
Bishop Harrower says research shows it's time for a new approach.
