The Evangelical tradition has had a major impact on the contours of religious life in South Australia since its foundation. Anglican and especially Methodist churches led the way. A range of support agencies emerged. Other traditions, notably Angl0-Catholicism, and latterly liberalism and secularism, have all also been significant.
This essay, published in 1988, was the first attempt to characterise the Evangelical tradition in SA by this author. Several subsequent essays on related issues are also in this data base.
