Following a programme supporting Christian education, literature and scholarship, the Society was initially a joint committee [The Australian Diocesan Committee of The Societies For Promoting Christian Knowledge and For Propagating the Bible in Foreign Parts] and received a substantial bequest from Mr. Thomas Moore of Liverpool.
