Description
Author: Ian Hyndman. Published June 2013, 131 A4 pages with a soft cover.
Ian Hyndman’s long association with Christadelphians in Victoria and his tenacity in assembling and making order of facts from many sources has produced a fascinating insight into the formation of Christadelphian ecclesias during very challenging times in the early history of Australia. This book will have wide appeal to those who know the area or had friends or relatives who settled there or are interested in how the truth took root in a far part of the British Empire. Genealogists will find a rich source of very detailed information.
