Congregationalism in Australia Research Papers (original) (raw)

Pride of Place is a richly detailed history, based solidly on primary sources. The minutes, correspondence, letters and other ephemera of the congregation, held in the Mitchell Library, have been plundered, as well as a broad range of other contemporary sources, to provide us with an engaging account of one of Sydney’s iconic churches. Though clearly a local church history, with a focus on successive leaders and their often adversarial relationships with lay leaders, it also provides insight into the place of Pitt Street in wider NSW Congregationalism. Pitt Street may indeed take pride in its place among the churches of Sydney and the authors of this volume may take a similar pride in providing us with this fine history.
