A window into the rich spiritual and academic heritage of one of Melbourne's most distinguished theological institutions, Forward Flows the Time chronicles the history and legacy of Ridley College, Melbourne, as recounted by one of its most dedicated servants. Written by the Reverend Laurence Langley Nash, M.A., B.D., Secretary of the Ridley College Council, this work presents an authoritative and intimate account of the institution's founding principles, its formative years, and the extraordinary individuals who shaped its character. Nash draws on his unique position within the College's administration to detail the milestones, challenges, and triumphs that defined Ridley's place within Australian religious and academic life. Rooted firmly in the Anglican evangelical tradition, the narrative illuminates the broader cultural and ecclesiastical landscape of Melbourne, illustrating how faith, education, and community intertwined to produce generations of clergy and lay leaders. Nash's prose carries the measured authority of a scholar-clergyman, balancing institutional pride with honest reflection, making this volume an indispensable record for those interested in the intersection of religion, education, and Australian history. For anyone who has walked Ridley's halls — or wishes they had — this account leaves one wondering what chapters of such a story have yet to be written.
