Church Scene
''Church Scene'' was an independent Anglican newspaper based in Melbourne, Australia, published from 1971 to 1997. History A previous national Anglican newspaper, '' The Anglican'' (first published in 1952), had ceased publication in 1970. ''Church Scene'' was owned by the MacKeller family, through a company, Church Press Limited. Originally a fortnightly publication, it later became weekly. The editorial line was liberal. An early editorial, in 1971, prompted a strong response from the evangelical ''Australian Church Record'', published in Sydney.

On Davis's retirement as editor in 1995, on a motion moved by Deaconess Margar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
