AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In 1911 a small group of progressive Christians established the Free Religious Fellowship under the leadership of Reverend Frederick Sinclaire, a radical, non-conformist minister, formerly of the Unitarian Church, Eastern Hill. The Fellowship was an active part of the broad coalition of groups opposed to World War I in general and to conscription in particular. The records of the Fellowship are located in State Library Victoria’s collections along with its journal, Fellowship. This article draws on these and other records to tell the story of the fellowship with a particular focus on Sinclaire’s contribution to the anti-conscription campaigns of 1916 and 1917.'
