The reports from the Diocese of Sydney in 1920-1925 deal with the activities of the Australian Bush Church Aid Society, which was founded in 1919 with the assistance of the Colonial and Continental Church Society. Its aims were to provide training and support for clergy, catechists, lay evangelists and teachers in the bush areas of Australia. Its work soon spread beyond New South Wales and, in particular, it played a major role in the Diocese of Willochra in South Australia.
