[Seven News] Bishop Stuart Robinson publicly apologised to victims of abuse at the hands of church members, or groups connected to the church.

The apology was either read out to congregations at Lamentation Sunday services, or a video of the apology delivered by Bishop Robinson was played in church.

"From time to time I have to deliver messages which are difficult and painful, and this is one of them," he said.

"I do make this apology sincerely and genuinely; we do hope to care for people."

"I take this opportunity to apologise for any abuse or mistreatment, that those in this event, that is the service that you're attending, may have experienced by groups or individuals connected with our Anglican church," Bishop Robinson said.
