From Augustine to Anglicanism: the Anglican Church in Australia and beyond: proceedings of the conference

Abstract

The conference from which these proceedings are derived offered a scholarly interrogation of the origins, development and worldwide dispersal and influence of the Ecclesia Anglicana. The conference presentations covered a wide spectrum of Anglican studies, from the British Church at the time of the Venerable Bede, through its reformations in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the Anglican Church in twenty-first century Australia. Consequently, the papers survey the Anglican Church in the British Isles, Australia, North America, Africa and New Zealand, nations where the British Church, after the English Reformation, exercised cultural, linguistic, spiritual and political influence.
