Edited by Rev. James Reid and meticulously researched by Vivienne Webb and Jean Hudson, the work presents a richly detailed account of the church's founding, its formative decades, and its growth into a cornerstone institution of the Manly community, set against the broader sweep of Australian social and religious history.\n\nThe narrative weaves together institutional milestones, biographical portraits of clergy and congregation, and the evolving character of Presbyterian worship in New South Wales, illustrating how a local church both shaped and was shaped by the world around it. Written with scholarly care and quiet reverence, the text serves as an invaluable primary source for historians of Australian religion and local heritage alike, while remaining accessible and deeply moving for those with a personal connection to St Andrew's — leaving the reader to wonder what the next hundred years might hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130923720923,"sku":"2026200012103-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/90b46d8f-2b87-48cf-a959-0eb6bbe9731a.png?v=1786592236","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012103-secondhand-the-first-hundred-years-1884-1984-st-andrews-presbyterian-church-manly","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
