About Church of Torres StraitChurch of Torres Strait was proclaimed on 1st January, 1998.
It is part of the Traditional Anglican Communion.
We were part of the Anglican Church of Australia, Diocese of
North Queensland. However that part of the Church has become very
liberal and largely abandoned traditional Anglican and catholic
teaching and practice.We hope one day to be re-united with our
brothers and sisters in that church.As well as opposition there
is quite widespread support for us. In the meantime we are getting
on with the business of being Christ’s Holy Catholic and Apostolic
Church in this area, the Torres Straits in Northern Australia
(Queensland state).
We have only 11 communities/parishes and about 2000-3000 people who
are ministered to by a Bishop and 23 priests and deacons. Our
teaching and practice is the anglican expression of the Catholic
Faith.
