“’The People called Methodists’ began witnessing in what is now the Australian Capital Territory soon after white men first crossed the Canberra Plains with their families and sheep.  They contributed significantly to the life of the community over the century and a half during which the quiet, rural life of a remote, treeless limestone valley was transformed, bustling political centre of Australia.
Individuals from Australia’s past stride or limp through their roles, revealing human frailties and tremendous strengths.  The Cathedral Church’ of Australian Methodism is shown to be firmly rooted in its heritage and to have a significance both as a focus of the past and a substantial mission in the community of the present and the future.”
