Australian Church

The Australian Church (1884-1957) was founded by Dr. Charles Strong at Melbourne in 1884. "Australian Church - Institution" (overview), Reason in Revolt Project, 2006-11-15, "ReasoninRevolt.net.au" webpage: [http://www.reasoninrevolt.net.au/biogs/E000095b.htm RIRnet-AC] .] Strong was a Presbyterian minister who, previously, had been charged with heresy because of his liberal theology. The "Australian Church" had a firm commitment to social justice and had been active in the anti-conscription campaigns during World War I. The "Australian Church" was disbanded in 1957.
