Uncertain future for Tweed church
THE uncertain future of a century-old Burringbar Anglican church has left members of the community concerned and confused.
St Michaels and All Angels Anglican Church may be sold but answers about when and why are not forthcoming.
Kingscliff Parish rector Eron Perry said he was not allowed to comment on the matter.
He did confirm that a notice of intention to sell sign had been placed outside the church roughly a month ago.
Burringbar resident Phil Connor said there was a lot of angst in the community
"Many families have a major connection with the church," Mr Connor said.
"And many in the community don't know what's going."
Diocese of Grafton registrar Anthony Newby said details of how the parish made the decision was not a public matter.
Mr Newby said the archdeacon was currently unable to comment on the matter.
Brunswick Valley Historical Society patron Frank Mills said he hoped the church would be saved.
"It would be sad to see the building go and not be used for some purposes by the Anglican community.
"It'd leave a gap in the history of Burringbar," he said. "We've got to wait and see, it's in the hands of the bishop."
