| Description : |
The minutes of the general meeting of the Colonel Light Gardens Congregational Church for 22 March 1927 record the resolution, 'That this meeting is in sympathy with and considers it desirable that Mrs Winifred Kiek B.A., B.D. who has been the Pastor of this Church since June 1926 be ordained ...' Following this recommendation, on 13 June 1927 Winifred Kiek became the first woman ordained into religious ministry in Australia. The Colonel Light Gardens church recorded in its annual report for that year, Our Church has also had the eyes of the religous fraternity of Australia upon it because it has had the audacity to launch out on a line of operations hitherto not attempted by any other Congregational Church in the Commonwealth, and that is that the destinies of this church have been guided by a lady pastor. |
