  • Bishopscourt
    BISHOPSCOURT Bishopscourt, East Melbourne, has been the residence of all Melbourne's Anglican Bishops and Archbishops since 1853. Lambeth Palace, London, on the other hand, has only been axesidence of under half of the Archbishops of Canterbury i.e. since the twelfth century . Charles Perry, Melbourne's first Bishop, landed with Mrs Perry on 23 January 1848 and for the first six weeks after their arrival they resided at the Southern Cross Hotel at 165 Bourke Street West At the and of this period and until .a suitable residence -could be provided, the Perry's arranged to rent a cottage, "Upper Jolimont" built on Superintendent La Trobe's property, "Jolimont Though this accommodation was somewhat limited, ,the house had the advantage of proximity to the Superintendent' s "cultured and amiable family." Here the Perry's settled for five years, alternating their time in Melbourne with trips to outlying stations and settlements. Meanwhile, in 1848, in accordance with an arrangement made by the Secretary for the Colonies in London, the Government in Sydney appropriated £2,000 towards the erection of a bishop's residence and also reserved a site of two acres of land in a very convenient situation within the town boundaries. Perry could have had five acres beyond the boundaries but he wisely determined, in his own interest and that of his successors, that an easy walk from all parts of Melbourne was an essential condition for a bishop's home. Perry wrote thus in reference to the proposed residence: .It must be recollected also that the afire of a bishop requires him to exercise hospitality; and besides the direct ministry of the Word and example of a holy life, there is scarcely any means more conducive than this to the spiritual well being of the people ever whom he is placed.

The foregoing observations, though per1mps they may be regaTCled as somewhat discursive, as in point of fact they necessarily are, do not by any means exhaust all that might be said upon the question; but they will serve, I think, to bring into tolerable relief what, after all, was the main pur­ pose with which I sat down to write thii:; article, namely, to :submit to the consideration of the readers of THE Ga:UROHMA.N ·that, one and all, they have duties to discharge and responsi­ :bilities to bear in connection with a General Election which they cannot or ought not to ignore, much less shirk. In other words, that so long as the precept of Roly Scripture "that righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people," is operative, so long is it the duty of Christian electors to assist, to the utmost of their power, in securing the return to the House of Commons of men who will uphold the rights a,nd liberties and purity and freedom of the Church and people of England.

  • 1910. Charles Perry Lecture. 2010. Ridley
    EVANGELICALISM IN VICTORIA – 1910. Charles Perry Lecture. 2010. Ridley Melbourne. 19th July, 2010. ****** The purpose of this lecture is to look at the overall evangelical situation in Victoria in 1910, when Ridley Melbourne was founded. Ridley College has from its beginning had an avowedly evangelical charter. Although students would be taught Christian theology, and prepared for Christian service, without requiring them to be evangelicals, yet the purpose of the College was openly declared to be to serve the Church of Christ from within what we might call the Evangelical Party of the Church of England. Firstly, we need to look at the history of the Evangelical Party, which had such a formative influence on what happened here. The Early History of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England. G. R. Balleine has given us an excellent history of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England,1 starting with the Oxford Methodists, led by the Rev. John Wesley, but including a very small number of other evangelical clergy in the Eighteenth Century, such as John Newton, John Berridge and William Grimshaw, who mainly served in country parishes. This was the first generation of people in the Evangelical Party of the Church of England. There was also an American wing to this great movement, with the Rev. George Whitefield being involved in both British and American aspects. There were also important Scottish and Welsh components of the Movement which had far-reaching effects. It also included the rise of Methodism in Britain and America. Whitefield was involved in all of these, as well.

  • The Anglican Years
    Chapter 5 The Anglican Years 1885-1928Y After leaving the Presbyterian Theological Hall (Chapter 3), Cheok Hong Cheong worked in the family business in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. In 1879 he was a co-author of The Chinese Question (Chapter 4), the project that started his long career as a Chinese community spokesman. In 1882 he was invited to address the Annual Meeting of the Anglican Church Missionary Society of Victoria (CMSV).1 His speech showed his Chinese cultural pride and reflected something of the framework of ideas and values included in The Chinese Question. He spoke of ‘the existence of China as a nation for nearly four thousand years’ and attributed this to ‘filial piety’ and ‘bonds of mutual subordination and respect’. He again addressed the CMSV Annual Meeting on 3rd December 1884.2 This time The Church of England Messenger praised the ‘unexpected’ quality of his presentation: The speech of the evening, partly from its intrinsic merits, but chiefly from the fact that, good as it was in itself, it seemed so much better, because so unexpected, in the mouth of a true Chinaman, Mr. Chok [sic] Hong Cheong, a Chinese trader in Fitzroy, but a thorough master of English, and matriculated student at the University of Melbourne. In praising Cheong’s ‘gentle, persuasive and amiable character’, the paper reported his ‘pardonable confidence in the invincibility of the Chinese nation, despite . all assaults’ and his equal confidence that only Christianity could provide the ‘grand motive-power’ China needed to be restored to the ranks of the world’s great powers.3 The Church Missionary Society of Victoria (CMSV) began in January 1851 as the Melbourne Diocesan Board of Missions (DBM) formed to undertake the evangelisation of 1 The Missionary, At Home and Abroad, November-December 1882, p 184.

  • Afterwards the Reverend Colin Campbell
    An Historical Note In 1854 Mr Colin Campbell (afterwards the Reverend Colin Campbell) began a Sunday School in his house ‘Haverbrack’—now remembered by Haverbrack Avenue—and in 1855 services were taken there by the Reverend (afterwards Canon) Henry Handfield of Saint Peter’s, Eastern Hill. In 1856 local church people obtained a house and shopfront in Malvern Road, near Spring Road, for a day school under the Denominational Schools Board, and for Church services conducted by Mr Campbell or by the Reverend John Gregory of Saint Matthew’s, Prahran. In 1857 the local committee representing the Church of England acquired a grant of an acre of land in Glenferrie Road (the northern half of this site is today occupied by the parish hall), and built a school room, which in 1858 was licensed for Church services. The priest in charge of the district of Oakleigh and Malvern was the Reverend Henry Liddiard. The first recorded meeting of the Malvern Church Committee is dated 10 July 1861. Because the land to the south of the school block had been reserved for a police barracks, the committee in 1865 bought a piece of land to the north—about one and a half acres—for £67.13s. In the same year the Reverend Thomas Cole was appointed to the district of Oakleigh and Malvern, and Mr Samuel Merrett offered his services as the architect for the proposed church. Mr Merrett was at the time an architect in the Public Works Department of the Colony, and with his brother Thomas Merrett he was joint architect of Melbourne’s first Exhibition Building, which opened in William Street in 1854 on the site now occupied by the former Royal Mint.

  • Sydney and Melbourne Anglicans from 1836 to 2009: Historical and Personal Reflections “ Bishop Barbara Darling, Diocese of Melbourne
    ADDRESS TO THE ANGLICANS TOGETHER DINNER, Sydney - 20 November 2009 “Sydney and Melbourne Anglicans from 1836 to 2009: Historical and personal reflections “ Bishop Barbara Darling, Diocese of Melbourne Thank you for your invitation to be here this evening. It is always a joy to come back to the city where I was born and grew up, and to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House out of the window of the plane when we are landing. It is not so much of a joy to know that my clerical orders of priest and bishop have to be left over the border and picked up again when I return to Melbourne – or go to Canberra /Goulburn or Newcastle! But that is all part of the reflection I would like to give this evening – looking at developments in Sydney Diocese and Melbourne Diocese both historically and personally. I would like you to come with me on a journey – as a lover of history and a lecturer in that subject I am fascinated by how the past has moulded us and shaped us, and helped to make us the people and the institutions we are today. I have decided to look at our past every twenty yeas or so, and see what was significant at that time, and how that links in with us today as members of the two largest Anglican Dioceses in Australia – Dioceses that developed very differently. So let’s start with 1836 – and you will see why in a moment. William Grant Broughton, Archdeacon of NSW and responsible to the Bishop of Calcutta, had travelled to England to seek help in the establishing of the Church of England in the colony of NSW.
