The Anglican Church could face more compensation claims as a result of the Mullighan Inquiry into abused state wards in South Australia.
End of year financial documents reveal the church paid more than $700,000 to sexual abuse victims last year.

But the documents say "it is uncertain whether any part of these paid claims or the future potential claims paid may be covered by insurance".
A meeting of Anglicans tomorrow in Adelaide will be told future claims could cost the church $2 million.
The meeting will vote on whether a sale of part of the Archbishop's North Adelaide property should proceed to help fund compensation.
