'On 13 October 1985 Arthur Malcolm was welcomed back to his north Queensland home community of Yarrabah. The previous day he had been consecrated in St James Cathedral in Townsville as the first Aboriginal bishop within the Anglican Church of Australia. Arthur Malcolm’s parents, both born around the larger Kowanyama region of Cape York, were brought to Yarrabah under the Queensland policy of family removals. Arthur, born in 1936, left Yarrabah at the age of 16 to attend the Church Army College near Newcastle. Nearly 50 years later he returned as an Anglican bishop with an Australia-wide responsibility for Aboriginal Anglicans.' (Introduction)
