In this episode, we're joined by John Wilson to talk about Australian Presbyterian Church History. We go over the arrival of the gospel to Australia, Presbyterianism coming to Australia, and then discuss several key moments in the history of the Presbyterian Church in Australia including federation, church union, and subsequent debates.
