In one of his books Donald Home notes that the only adequate body of church history in Australia is that produced by the Catholics. Since H o me wrote those words the Anglicans, in particular, have been catching up. There were special reasons for the early Catholic lead: the wealth of Catholic archives, the self-awareness of researchers who came from religious orders, the eagnerness of young Catholics to explore their own tradition, the variety of conflicts which made such exploration intellectually stimulating, and the interest of some fine Australian university historians.
