William Grant Broughton, Bishop of Australia, with Some Account of the Earliest Australian Clergy
The Bishop's statements about Aborigines, church's responsibility; missionary work among them 1814-51 (chap.9).
Patriarch and Patriot William Grant Broughton 1788-1853
William G. Broughton (1788-1853) was born in the heart of London's Westminster district, at Bridge Street.

In The Anglican Eucharist in Australia, Brian Douglas explores the History, Theology, and Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia. The story begins with the first white settlement in 1788 and continues to the present day.
