St John the Baptist Church, Sutherland, built in the early part of the 20 th century, had, by the 1950's, become too small to house its growing congregation. In 1960 the Reverend C.N. Steele began a successful campaign to raise funds for the erection of a new church to be dedicated as a war memorial. On June 24, 1965, St. John the Baptist War Memorial Church, which was built largely using volunteer labour, was officially opened.

The Association was preceded by the Sub-Committee re Administration of the Wine, which was established in 1917 as a sub-committee of the Sydney Anglican Synod, and as a response to the influenza epidemic of the time. The object of the Sub-Committee was to investigate the law of the Church of England in regard to individual administration of communion wine as opposed to a common Communion Cup. In 1921 the Sub-Committee had been replaced by The Individual Cup Association which supported the use of individual cups. The records held are incomplete and relate to the issue being debated.

Originally formed soon after Australia became a separate Diocese in 1836, this Society is the Church of England's oldest in Australia. 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. In 1868 the Society's rules and regulations were adopted by Resolution of Synod and the Society re-named The Sydney Diocesan Education and Book Society in connection with the Societies for Promoting Christian Knowledge and for The Propagation of The Gospel in Foreign Parts. In 1918 its name was shortened to The Sydney Diocesan Education and Book Society. In 1986 the Society became a Committee of The Standing Committee for the Sydney Diocese. The records are unprocessed, but most are arranged in subject folders, and include minutes, financial statements and correspondence. Minute Books prior to 1953 are held by the Mitchell Library.

The Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (A.F.E.S.) is a national body which coordinates the activities of Evangelical Unions and Christian Fellowships on Australian tertiary campuses. Initially constituted in 1936 as the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Australia, its name was changed to the Inter-Varsity Fellowship in 1939, and in 1973 to the A.F.E.S. The annual AFES national conference elects a General Committee which is the governing body of the AFES. In 1976 the General Committee authorised the establishment of AREA COMMITTEES in the major educational centres to extend and decentralise its functions whilst maintaining national commitments. The records include evangelical publications, reports and Committee Minutes.
