Antipodes
In geography, the antipode () of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it. A pair of points ''antipodal'' () to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center. Antipodal points are as far away from each other as possible. The North and South Poles are antipodes of each other. In the Northern Hemisphere, "the Antipodes" may refer to Australia and New Zealand, and Antipodeans to their inhabitants. Geographically, the antipodes of Britain and Ireland are in the Pacific Ocean, south of New Zealand. This gave rise to the name of the Antipodes Islands of New Zealand, which are close to the antipode of London. With the exception of a part of the Perth metropolitan area near Baldivis and Rockingham that is antipodal to Bermuda, the antipodes of Australia are in the North Atlantic Ocean, while parts of Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco are antipodal to New Zealand. Approximately 15% of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

St Paul's Theological College, Moa
St Paul’s Theological College was an Australian educational institution on Moa Island, Queensland, established in 1917, alternating between Moa Island and Thursday Island. It trained Indigenous candidates for ordination in the Anglican Church of Australia (called the Church of England in Australia until 1981). Origins Christian missions to the Torres Strait Islands were begun by the London Missionary Society in 1872. The LMS handed over responsibility for the missions to the Church of England in Australia in 1915. One of the consequences of that transfer was a decision to establish a theological college for the training of native clergy. This took effect by the expansion of the school established by the Anglican Deaconess Florence Buchanan who served on Moa Island from 1908 to 1911. The establishment of the theological college was driven by its first principal, Fr Geoffrey Luscombe. History The theological college opened in 1917, named St Paul's, on Moa Island. The origi ...

Bishop Of Carpentaria
The Anglican Diocese of Carpentaria was an Anglican diocese in northern Australia from 1900 to 1996. It included most of northern Queensland, the islands of the Torres Strait and, until 1968, all of the Northern Territory. The see was based at Quetta Cathedral on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. The creation of the diocese was the work of Christopher Barlow, Bishop of North Queensland. The diocese's first bishop was Gilbert White and the last was Anthony Hall-Matthews. In 1968 a new diocese, the Diocese of the Northern Territory based in Darwin, was created out of the Diocese of Carpentaria and, in 1996, the remaining part of the Carpentaria diocese merged back into the Diocese of North Queensland. As part of the merger negotiations, an assistant bishop within that diocese was elected to oversee the Torres Strait Region. However, unrest persisted and the islanders campaigned for an independent Torres Strait diocese. In 1997, some Anglicans in the Torres Strait region ...
