  • The Sydney Intellectual/ Religious Scene, 1916–2016
    The Sydney intellectual/ religious scene, 1916–2016 James Franklin Strictly speaking, there is no intellectual/religious “scene” in Sydney, in the sense that there is, say, a folk music scene. A “scene” has groups which know one another and an audience that cycles through them. But with religion it is much more a matter of individual denominational silos with little interaction in the sphere of ideas and debate. There is no regular gathering in theology or religion that fulfils the role in the philosophy world of the annual Australasian Philosophy Conference. The century-old, interdenominational Heretics Club at Sydney University,1 which this journal issue celebrates, is a rare exception. But a dozen people meeting almost under cover of darkness do not constitute a “scene”. Nor has Sydney had any high-profile religious figure in its public life comparable to Archbishop Mannix in Melbourne. Hilary Carey wrote in the Dictionary of Sydney, “Religion has not been a notably creative force in Sydney’s cultural life and the city is conspicuously lacking in prophets or founders of new religions.”2 That has contributed to a poor penetration of local intellectual life by religious views. Furthermore, Sydney, unlike Melbourne, has a reputation of being anti- intellectual in religion, with Catholic life being shaped by the long reigns of the unintellectual Archbishops Kelly and Gilroy,3 Sydney evangelicals suspecting the fallenness of human reason, and Presbyterians hunting heretics. Archbishop Kelly was more concerned with the evils of mixed bathing, his Anglican counterpart Archbishop Wright with the opening of the Royal Easter Show on Good Friday.

  • The Relevance of Dr Samuel Angus for the Christian Church in the Twenty-First Century by the Rev
    The Relevance of Dr Samuel Angus for the Christian Church in the Twenty-First Century by The Rev. Dr Ian Ellis-Jones BA, LLB (Syd), LLM, PhD (UTS), Dip Relig Stud (LCIS) Senior Minister, Sydney Unitarian Church, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Senior Pastor, Unitarian Ministries, Columbia, South Carolina, United States of America An Expanded Version of an Address Delivered on 24 March 2010 at St Andrew’s College within the University of Sydney It gives me great pleasure to be present in this esteemed College tonight, and to deliver this address which is entitled "The Relevance of Dr Samuel Angus for the Christian Church in the Twenty-First Century". I feel quite a strong connection to this College. Although I was never a resident student here, I nevertheless feel a strong connection to this College. First, Dr Samuel Angus, although a Presbyterian, was essentially a Christian Unitarian in his theology. Secondly, he lived for many years at Turramurra, just a couple of streets from where my family and I have lived for over 2 decades. (His house remains to this day, more-or-less as it was when Angus and his wife lived there more than 70 years ago.) Thirdly, Rabbi Rudolph Brasch, who was the senior minister of Temple Emanuel at Woollahra for some 30 years, and whose seminal book The Star of David (Angus & Robertson, 1955) was the first book to be published in Australia on Judaism, was not only a guest professor at this College teaching future Presbyterian ministers Biblical Hebrew but also an acting minister of the Sydney Unitarian Church for a time.

It was so with me one February day in 1954 when, as a student at Durham University, a second-hand book came into my hands with the title A Critical History of Free Thought in Reference to the Christian Religion. The author was Adam S. Farrar and the volume was one of the famous series of Bamp- ton Lectures delivered at Oxford in 1862. The date is significant. It was before the authority of Scripture was discounted in British universities, and Farrar, an evangelical, spent nearly 700 pages reviewing man’s opposition to the word of God across the centuries.3 I was then having my own experience of opposition to the trustwor- thiness of Scripture, and this book showed me that this was no new thing.

  • The Transition from the Africa Inland Mission to the Africa Inland Church in Kenya, 1939-1975
    The Transition from the Africa Inland Mission to the Africa Inland Church in Kenya, 1939-1975 F. Lionel Young III Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History and Politics University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 1 March 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between the Africa Inland Mission (AIM) and the Africa Inland Church (AIC) in Kenya between 1939 and 1975. AIM began laying plans for an African denomination in Kenya in 1939 and established the Africa Inland Church in 1943. The mission did not clearly define the nature of its relationship with the church it founded. The arrangement was informal, and evolved over time. In addition, the relationship between the AIM and the AIC between 1939 and 1975 was often troubled. African independent churches were formed in the 1940s because of dissatisfaction over AIM policies. The mission opposed devolution in the 1950s, even when other mission societies were following this policy in preparation for independence in Kenya. AIM continued to resist a mission church merger in the 1960s and did not hand over properties and powers to the church until 1971. The study will focus on how the mission’s relationship with the church it founded evolved during this period. It will consider how mission principles and policies created tension in the relationship with the church it founded. First, it will examine how mission policy contributed to significant schisms in the 1940s, giving rise to African independent churches. Second, it will look at how AIM interpreted and responded to post-war religious, political and social changes in Kenya.
