The following has been sent to every media outlet, every political party, and every parish within the Diocese of Brisbane, as well as every head office of The Anglican Church.
It is time for us to stand united and resolute in the face of unsettling revelations at St. Paul's School Bald Hills. Since the removal of Dr. Paul Browning and Mr. Nigel Grant, our beloved institution has been marred by a disturbing lack of transparency and accountability.
We implore you to focus on the following evidence, which paints a disturbing picture of a long-standing agenda marked by cover-ups, a distinct lack of transparency, and a glaring absence of accountability and governance by the Anglican Church of Southern Queensland and the Anglican Schools Commission. We are left with little choice but to address these issues head-on, as they threaten the very foundation of our institution. You will find below are the works of the devil.
One piece of evidence that demands scrutiny is the letter from incoming Archbishop-elect Jeremy Greaves to Reverend Ralph Bowles, which contains blatant falsehoods and misinformation that raises serious questions about motives and actions. This individual is due to be appointed into the higher realms of the Church. Do you accept someone who shows these qualities to lead a Diocese?
Attached is an incisive statement of rebuttal, presenting substantial evidence to unveil the falsehoods and fabrications put forth by Archbishop-elect Jeremy Greaves, shedding light on the depths of misinformation and deception. In addition, a statement by Reverend Ralph Bowles in response to Archbishop-elect Jeremy Greaves and a prior statement from the Chair of Risk and Compliance refuting further false statements made by him.

Furthermore, a document lodged at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses into Child Sexual Abuse, which has existed for 21 years, exposes the knowledge of outgoing Archbishop Phillip Aspinall, the Anglican Church of Southern Queensland, and the Anglican Schools Commission were extremely aware of Gilbert Case's (ex-Principal of St Paul's School, Bald Hills, Qld) knowledge regarding Kevin Lynch's heinous actions of abuse, which involved the molestation of students. Shockingly, these leaders' response was not to take action to protect the victims but rather to cover up the scandal and relocate the perpetrator. This knowledge has severe implications for child protection, insurance liability, and potential criminal misconduct.
Do you accept the lies and cover-ups from those who lead this Diocese or the truth?

Even more troubling is the revelation that despite having knowledge of these deeply troubling events, the Diocesan Council within the Anglican Church Southern Queensland chose to continue to engage in a cover-up and placed the responsibility of funding compensation on the parents of St. Paul's School, over multiple years currently totalling over $10million and rising. Whilst fully aware of this information and in a blatant move to make matters worse, the Archbishop-elect Jeremy Greaves made calculated decisions and took steps through his subordinates to remove Dr Paul Browning, Mr Nigel Grant and the School Council, who seemingly sought to do right by the victims of historical abuse.
Are you led by moral virtues, or do you accept those who lead to represent your faith in this way?
We are at a crossroads, and the choices we make now will define our institution's future. Those who remain silent or fail to act on the attached documents risk being complicit in these grave actions. It is time to confront this unsettling reality and to stand up for justice, transparency, and accountability.
I urge you to take a moment to read the attached information carefully, considering the implications it carries for the children of St. Paul's, the dedicated staff, concerned parents, and the past victims of historical abuse. I trust in your ability to form an independent opinion based on the facts presented and act in the best interests of our beloved community.
Your commitment to the well-being of St. Paul's and its future is valued.
