Abstract
The Church of England was planted in Australian at the same time as the first convict settlement and grew to become the largest and most socially diverse of the continent's Christian churches. Through its engagement with settlers, missions to Aborigines and entanglement with government, the Church advanced its social, educational and imperial mission. This chapter traces the changing character of the Church of England, including its move away from establishment to integration with the liberal, democratic aspirations of a new nation. By century's end, it shows how Anglicanism continued to mirror the imperial nationalism of the majority of Australians while struggling to develop a distinctive, post colonial identity.
