Habits and institutions gradually emerged in earliest Christianity. They were soon enrolled in the Roman empire and subsequently into various forms of Christendom. The English Christendom lasted many centuries and in the period of empire planted the Anglican Church in Australia. This Christendom model was fractured decisively in New South Wales in the first half of the nineteenth century. The recent Royal Commission into abuse in institutions has brought to light serious abuse in the Church and associated it with a form of clericalism. The Commission identifies this issue but does not offer any analysis of its character or causes, which has the effect of diminishing the contribution that the Commission might have made to addressing the problem. A preliminary attempt is offered in this article.

从殖民地牧师到负责任的治理：澳大利亚圣公会及其教会学挑战

习惯和制度在最早的基督教中逐渐出现。他们很快就加入了罗马帝国，随后又加入了各种形式的基督教世界。英国基督教世界持续了许多世纪，并在帝国时期在澳大利亚建立了圣公会。这种基督教模式在 19 世纪上半叶在新南威尔士州被彻底打破。最近皇家委员会调查机构中的虐待行为，揭露了教会中的严重虐待行为，并将其与某种形式的教权主义联系起来。委员会确定了这个问题，但没有对其性质或原因进行任何分析，这会削弱委员会可能为解决该问题所做的贡献。本文提供了初步尝试。
