  • Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region

    BAIRD: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless love to share: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong region from the 1970s to 1990s Jonathan Baird INTRODUCTION The Australian national anthem makes much of the nation’s land endowments: its golden soil, being girt by sea and abounding in nature’s gifts. The other reference is in the less-sung second verse from which we’ve derived our title: “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”. The city of greater Wollongong could hardly be described as having “boundless plains” compared with the more rural areas even within its own diocesan region. Yet this city, situated between the escarpment on the west and beaches on the east, has indeed shared its land with immigrants for decades following World War II. The city has long been proudly multicultural but it has been very religious for even longer still. The question being asked in the early 1990s by the Anglican Church in the Wollongong region was effectively this: Could the largest protestant church of an already proudly multicultural city be fulfilling its evangelical cause if it remained mono-cultural in membership and/or failed to serve its multicultural community including newly arriving immigrants?1 Those asking it 1 John Thew, ‘Personal Interview’, 8 April 2014, Transcript, 1-2. Page | 28 BAIRD: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region were certainly aware of how the Anglican Church had served the multicultural community in the preceding decade.
