A History of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane, 1950 - 1970 THE PAST IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY: A History of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane, 1950 - 1970. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, at the University of Queensland in December 2006 JONATHAN CHARLES HOLLAND School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics University of Queensland Statement of Originality I declare that this thesis is my own work and has not been submitted in any form for another degree or diploma at any university or other institute of tertiary education. Information derived from published or unpublished work of others has been acknowledged in the text and a list of references are given. I also declare that I am familiar with the rules of the School and the University relating to the submission of this thesis. Jonathan Holland date ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am very grateful to all who have assisted me in this thesis. Many people – including those I have interviewed and those who have seen some of the fruits of my research over the last few years – have shown a graciousness to me and an interest in my work that has been very encouraging. I have much appreciated the insights, encouragement and time of my supervisors, Associate Professors Clive Moore and Marion Diamond. Their direction has been invaluable and they have persisted with me over several years to see this thesis to its completion. I have also received much support from the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane, in particular a free hand to access material in the Diocesan archives. The archivists, Ms Glenda Morrell and more recently, Ms Desley Soden, have both been tremendously supportive and helpful. They allowed me space to read archival material and attempted to answer my many questions and meet my many requests. Ms Elsie Manley gave me access to the diaries of Bishop Philip Strong, which are in her possession. I stayed with Elsie for a week reading the diaries and making notes. It was both generous and gracious of her. Reading the diaries and handling some of the mementoes of Strong’s life – his prayer book with a bullet hole through its middle – were moving experiences and have left me a feeling of privilege and gratitude. Finally, my wife Kerry and children have watched this thesis unfold and have made sacrifices in family life to accommodate it. I am as usual grateful and privileged to have such an understanding and patient family. iii ABSTRACT THE PAST IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY: A History of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane, 1950 - 1970. This thesis charts the history of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane from 1950 to 1970. The history of the Diocese from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century could be read as the attempt to address the challenge of three abiding issues: a lack of ordained clergy, of financial resources and of active members. But suddenly, for about a decade from the early 1950s, these shortfalls were transcended. Churches recorded growing participation and parents sent their children to Sunday Schools in record numbers. More young men than ever before attended the theological college – St Francis’ College at Milton – and a money raising scheme, called the Wells Way, allowed parishes to tap post-World War II prosperity. Perhaps for the first time in Diocesan history, parishes could plan for the future with some confidence that the financial and human resources were in place for those plans to come to fruition. The first part of this thesis attempts to explain why this decade of growth occurred. Several answers are given. The Diocese established parishes in the emerging suburbs, which provided social activities for families, and especially for that new class of young people called ‘teenagers’. The churches were also seen as upholders of moral standards and one of the bulwarks against atheistic communism. Finally, the Diocese of Brisbane was seen to carry something of the ethos of the Church of England in England at a time of pride in the British heritage, which burst out when the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II toured Australia in 1954 to tumultuous acclaim. The second part of this thesis charts the numerical decline which set in from the early 1960s. Coincidentally, this decline began when a new archbishop – Philip Strong – was installed in March 1963 as Archbishop of Brisbane. Strong came to Brisbane with a powerful reputation as a iv longstanding, missionary bishop in Papua New Guinea, whose steadfastness in World War II, during the Japanese invasion, evoked much respect and pride. After examining a number of theories for why numerical decline should suddenly set in, this thesis argues that rapid change – social, cultural, economic and technological – is the principal reason for the decline. Sundays were no longer sacrosanct to the churches alone. A more liberal spirit to moral issues challenged the traditional Christian moral code. Immigration patterns changed. New media, especially television, had a profound effect on the churches, more so than has perhaps been realised. Attitudes to authority figures and authoritative institutions changed in the wake of the Vietnam War, and the inchoate feminist movement challenged traditional church teachings on the role of women in religious institutions. The speed and scale of change wrong-footed the Diocese (and other churches), and it was unable to read or satisfactorily address social changes. What changes should the church accommodate? What ones should the church resist? The answer to these questions introduced a new divide in the Diocese (as elsewhere) between conservatives and liberals. The capacity of the Diocese to respond to social change was further inhibited by other factors. There was a loss of confidence in traditional teachings, especially after the publication of John Robinson’s book, Honest to God, in 1963. As well, Diocesan leadership tensions meant that time and energy was directed internally. The Diocese had a powerful registrar, Roland St John and he and other outspoken leaders did not always see eye to eye with the archbishop. Strong, who had spent the previous 26 years in Papua New Guinea, exercising unchallenged authority, found it hard to adjust to these more robust and challenging voices, some of whom were much more liberal than his own conservatism allowed. Finally, Anglo-Catholicism – the Diocesan theological engine room, which had created the passion and direction for Diocesan ministry over so many years – was seriously wounded by social and cultural change and gradually lost its force to inspire and motivate. v The thesis finishes by drawing some conclusions from this history and outlining the legacy of these years. A Note on Terminology The terms ‘Roman Catholic; and ‘Catholic’ are used throughout the thesis to refer to that Christian Church which is under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome. The term ‘Anglo-Catholic’ refers throughout this thesis to a branch within the Church of England. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS............................................................................... iii ABSTRACT..................................................................................................... iv Introduction..................................................................................................... 1 Chapter One The Fifties...................................................................... 25 1.1 Australia in the Fifties....................................................................... 27 1.2 Queensland: Brisbane ..................................................................... 37 1.3 Queensland: Rural Areas................................................................. 44 1.4 The Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane ......................... 50 1.5 Optimism and Growth ...................................................................... 61 Chapter Two: 1954................................................................................ 65 2.1 A Mood of Pride ............................................................................... 68 2.2 A Mood of Fear ................................................................................ 83 2.3 A Mood of Expectancy ..................................................................... 95 2.4 The Building Boom......................................................................... 106 2.5 Conclusion ..................................................................................... 113 Chapter Three 1956.............................................................................. 115 3.1 Protector of Youth .......................................................................... 117 3.2 Protector of Family Life .................................................................. 128 3.3 Parishes: filling a social void .......................................................... 137 3.4 Bush Ministry: hostels and camps ................................................. 146 3.5 Conclusion ..................................................................................... 153 Chapter Four 1959.............................................................................. 154 4.1 Anglicans in Society....................................................................... 159 4.2 Ministry to All.................................................................................. 163 4.3 Sectarianism and Mass Rallies...................................................... 172 4.4 Social Influence.............................................................................. 181 Chapter Five 1962.............................................................................

CHARLES COX (by Canon Maudce Abbott, Ince Blundell Hall, Back O'Th Town Lane, Liverpool, L38 5JL) First impressions stay with us, they say; and ever since my school days when my parents took me with them on their frequent visits to old churches, I have maintained a constant interest in them. This became a lifelong pursuit on my 20th birthday, when my father gave me a copy of The Parish Churches ot' England by J. Charles Cox and Charles Bradley Ford. In his preface, written in March 1935, Mr Ford pointed out that Dr Cox's English Parish Church was lirsl published in 1914, and was the recognised handbook on its subiect. In time the book became out of print and it was felt that a revised edition would be appropriate, because Cox was somewhat discutsive in his writrng. The text was pruned and space made for the inclusion of a chapter on'Local Varieties in Design'. This was based on Cox's original notes on the subject and other sources. I found this book quite fascinating and as the years went by I began to purchase second-hand copies of Cox's works and eventually wanted to know more about the man himself.

  • Sir Howard Beale, 1958–641 Matthew Jordan
    5 ‘Mr Necessity’: Sir Howard Beale, 1958–641 Matthew Jordan Howard Beale was appointed Ambassador to the United States in 1957 at a critical time in American and indeed world history. The Cold War was well underway and tensions between the US-led West and Soviet Russia made the prospect of a ‘hot war’ with all its awful consequences a real possibility. Moved mainly by the inherent strategic limitations of ‘massive retaliation’, the US increasingly focused on winning ‘hearts and minds’ in former colonial territories in the Middle East, Asia and Africa during the 1950s and thereby stopping the spread of global communism.2 This broadening of the policy of containment, based on a continuing belief that communism was monolithic, found its most pertinent manifestation for Australia in the signing of the Manila Pact in September 1954. The pact, which established the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), committed the US to the defence of signatory countries in the event of communist aggression or subversion. Taken together with the Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS), signed three years earlier, SEATO reinforced Australia’s identification of the US as its primary great power protector. 1 For their comments and suggestions on earlier versions of this chapter, I would like to thank David Lowe, David McLean, Neville Meaney, Colin Milner and especially James Curran, who was kind enough to give me a large number of key documents from the John F Kennedy Library in Boston. 2 See John Lewis Gaddis, Strategies of Containment: A Critical Appraisal of Postwar American National Security Policy, Oxford University Press, New York, 1982, chs 6–8.

  • Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
    Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914.
