Brother Howard Le Couteur is an independent historian and a foundation
member of a Franciscan religious order (the Little Brothers of Francis)
in the eremitical tradition in the Anglican Church. He completed his
doctorate in 2006 under the supervision of Professor Jill Roe at Macquarie
University. Much of the thesis, on the early history of Anglicanism in
Queensland, has now been published in journal articles. His research is in two areas of men's religious experience: freemasonry in
early Queensland, and Anglican 'Missions to Men' in Australia in the
early twentieth century.
