The governing body of the Traditional Anglican Communion yesterday suspended TAC Archbishop John Hepworth from the Church's College of Bishops, which rendered him ineligible to function as Bishop Ordinary of the Anglican Catholic Church in Australia.
The authority has been transferred to Vicar General Fr. Owen Buckton assisted by Bishop David Robarts as Episcopal Authority with immediate effect.
The announcement was made by India-based Archbishop Samuel Prakash, Acting Primate of the TAC. The new administrators of the TAC in Australia are both members of ACCA.

Fr. Buckton is based in Rockhampton and Bishop Robarts lives in Launceton, Tasmania. Read more
