Summary:

Anglicanism came to Australia with the First Fleet in 1788 and the subsequent creation of the Diocese of Australia. The Anglican Church has played an important role in the development of Australian society, through both its institutions and its social exemplification in a community of people. This book traces the history and significance of Anglicanism in its Australian context, through both chronological narrative and an exploration of the relationship between Anglicanism and other themes in Australia's history, such as gender, indigenous Australians, theology, and the arts.
