Australian Board Of Missions
The Anglican Board of Mission - Australia (ABM), formerly Australasian Board of Missions and Australian Board of Missions, is the national mission agency of the Anglican Church of Australia. In its earliest form, it was established in 1850. History The Church of the Province of New Zealand was not formed until 1858.
