Camps, Settlements and Churches: A History of Anglican Centres of Worship in the Inner-South of Canberra 1913-2010 by Eddie J Braggett

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Some wear to book edges and corners. Inside blank page has been cut out presumably to remove ownership details. Slight chipping of spin.

From its foundation in 1913, Canberra struggled to achieve viability as a local community and vibrancy as a national capital. Development was hampered by war, depression and interstate rivalries.

In this well-researched history, Emeritus Professor Eddie Braggett depicts the slow but steady progress of Anglican mission and ministry in tent settlements, brickworks, building sites, internment camps and in the fledgling suburbs of the Molonglo River.
