At the time of Federation, Australia was seen as a country of some substance - despite all the contradictions reflected in its history. It was country that was willing to experiment with innovative legislation and social programs, and to promote egalitarian values. It was a country that embraced liberal values, but they were not lacking in social content. While the influence of religion may have been subtle, it was nevertheless real. As Australia celebrates its Centennial, this book reflects on the role of religion in Australian national life and citizenship while documenting that history and looking to the future.
