Dr Peter Carnley, former Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia, is one of five recipients of the highest honour in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
Dr Carnley has been made a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) nearly a decade after being appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in the 1998 Honours List for his service to the Anglican Church of Australia and to the community through his contributions to theology, the nurturing of ecumenicalism between the churches and their faiths, and in the cause of social justice. Since then he has served as Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia, 2000-May 2005 and Anglican Archbishop of Perth, 1981-May 2005.
Awards in the Australian honours system represent the highest level of recognition that can be accorded by the nation for attainment of outstanding achievement and service.
