A pivotal 1893 essay at the Churches of Christ conference challenged convention and cleared space for women’s fuller participation in South Australian church life. That moment marked a turning point felt even here at The Church on The Hill, echoing through every committee meeting and community event that followed.

Spaces like this were once part of the daily rhythm of church life and are now part of the careful restoration work that is underway.
