It is the first comprehensive national history of Anglicans in Australia. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e Anglicanism in Australia\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to our social history. Its authors have moved beyond biography and histories of individual congregations to create a broad, complex, layered history. They assess Anglicanism's contribution to Australian social, political and cultural life. They explore the processes by which a highly centralised English institution has been reshaped by the environment and experience of this country. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The book begins with a fascinating and thoroughly researched narrative account-which moves from the arrival with the First Fleet of an Anglican chaplain, right through to the 1990s. Along the way it charts, among many other events, the nineteenth-century church buffeted by the pendulum swings of 'state aid'; the nationalistic fervour of wartime, and the political radicalism of the 1960s. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n In its second half, Anglicanism in Australia looks at Anglicans dealing with a broad spectrum of issues: the family, questions of gender, Indigenous peoples, the visual arts, the search for a national identity. It acknowledges the wide variety of Anglican views and reveals how regional identity, a powerful force in many other areas of Australian life, has expressed itself both positively and negatively during the past two centuries. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eAnglicanism in Australia\u003c\/i\u003e will be an indispensible research tool for Australian social historians, an invaluable general reference work and, above all, a treasury for those close to the Anglican Church or interested in church history. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n To find out more about Anglicanism in Australia visit The Anglican Church of Australia's website - http:\/\/www.anglican.org.au\/","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241420079262,"sku":"HPC-9780522850031","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522850031.jpg?v=1780360656","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522850031","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
