Themes

In the 150th anniversary of Anglicanism in Queensland, this conference welcomes postgraduates and scholars exploring the historical and theological expressions of Anglicanism in Australia and abroad.

The conference aims to combine traditional strengths of research into pre-modern, Victorian and colonial Anglicanism with the recent proliferation of scholarly activity into Australian Anglicanism in an approach that welcomes scholarly commemoration of the Queensland anniversary. The conference also invites cross-disciplinary analysis presented through the approach of the disciplines of history and theology.

Major themes for papers may include: education; missionary activities; church government; charity; Indigenous history; historiography; ecumenism; canon law; archives; religion in fiction; the colonial church; church music; art, archaeology and architecture; formation of religious identities; histories of religious orders; reformations and long reformations; heresy; economic history; female ordination and feminism; Christology; apologetics; environmentalism and the Church; the Church and the military.
