In this revisionist history, Emeritus Professor Brian H Fletcher writes the place of Anglicanism in 20th Century Australia into the record book.  He contends that the Anglican Church in Australia remained externally united as a major creative force in shaping the nation after Federation, while examining the causes of its internal diversity and division.  Drawing on extensive primary sources, Fletcher fills an important gap in our knowledge of both Australia and the particular brand of Anglicanism which developed here.


Internal disputes and creative activity were twin features of Anglicanism, an din the Australian context need to be considered together...
The formative role of Australian Anglicanism has been overlooked by historians of the nation...
What are the sources of division within the Church, how have they manifested themselves and what have their consequences been for its work?  These are important questions that need addressing if the Church's current position is to be properly understood.
--From the Introduction


The author of this work provides a positive and nuanced assessment of the social significance of Anglicanism in Australia and expounds a case that future historians will need to take account of.
-- Dr David Hilliard, Associate Professor in the Department of History at Flinders University


The whole text is mercifully devoid of trendy jargon.  It is critical work, which will be of value to academics and students; who will wish to engage with its detail and scholarly judgements.
-- Emeritus Professor Deryck Schreuder FAHA FRHS LL D Centenary Medal
