  3. Why did St Paul's Anglican Church change into The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation Of Our Lady Theotokos? I assume that the population of Redfern was changing.

    1. Indeed it has changed a lot over the years. There are also two other Anglican churches within the same suburb, including St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, not to mention others in nearby suburbs.

  4. This is a wonderful house of worship, an Anglican sense of architecture, massive and giving us the sense of an all encompassing God - powerful yet approachable...
