St Luke's Anglican Church is located along Stanmore Road, in the inner west suburb of Enmore. It was built in 1882 and was originally known as Christ Church until 1963 when it was renamed to avoid confusion with the Church of Christ denomination.
This one is so beautiful. The sharp lines and the clean paint. I departed the Episcopal church when they changed over the prayer book to “MODERN” language and went over to our wee Anglican church made up of member with the same feelings as I have. Is the Anglican the prominent religion in Australia as in the United Kingdom?
I was baptised by Rev. Percy John Evans, attended Sunday School, Rev. Herbert John Henry Lofts, a member of the church choir and married in this church in 1954, Rev. Philip Risby Westley before the name change.
lovely.
