The history of St George’s Church

Our History

Saint GeorgeSt George’s has been sharing the love of Christ since 1889 when part of the present building was opened. The church was completed in 1897 by which time a wooden church hall, separate from the church, had been erected on the site of the present rectory. In 1977 the church building was divided, with the northern half forming the church, and the other half the church hall, now known as the Eve Cohen Hall. Two old wooden church halls were demolished and in 1978 a new rectory, with parish offices, was built on the site.

In the 1970s and 80s the Parish was significant in the creation of the Movement for the Ordination of Women (MOW) in NSW and the Australian spirituality movement Eremos.

 

A series of helpful guides that have been collected on our journey:

  • A guide to what Anglicans believe
  • A guide to the legend of Saint George
