Archbishop’s welcome

Archbishop AspinallWelcome to the website for the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane. I hope that this site serves as a virtual window to the many missions, pastoral activities and commissions that aim to serve the broader community in the name of Christ.

The Diocese of Brisbane includes an area of more than half a million square kilometers and is home to more than two million Queenslanders. To serve our community within this region we have 467 clergy and 305 churches.

As web-based communication continues to gain in its importance in informing and uniting people across the globe it is my hope that you will find this site useful and instructive.
