In The Anglican Eucharist in Australia, Brian Douglas explores the History, Theology, and Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia. The story begins with the first white settlement in 1788 and continues to the present day. The three eucharistic liturgies used in the ACA, and the debates that led to them, are examined in depth: The Book of Common Prayer (1662); An Australian Prayer Book (1978); and A Prayer Book for Australia (1995). The deep sacramentality of the Aboriginal people is acknowledged and modern issues such as liturgical development, lay presidency and virtual Eucharists are also explored. The book concludes with some suggestions for the further development of eucharistic liturgies within the ACA.

"This volume adds worthily to the Brill series of ‘Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History’. Douglas’s work is definitive and irreplaceable. ." - Colin Buchanan, Assistant Bishop, Diocese of Leeds, in: Journal of Anglican Studies (2022).
"The history, theology and liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia has never been written until Dr Douglas’ present book. In a sustained and well researched manner the author brings to light the details, controversies and underlying theological and philosophical concerns that have imprinted themselves on the subject. He is to be congratulated on undertaking this task in such a masterful manner." - Stephen Pickard, Executive Director, Charles Sturt University.
"The significance of the book is its combination of history, ecclesiology, and the careful analysis of specific liturgical texts in this framework and the impact of the dynamics of decision making in a synodical church. It is also useful as a substantial exposition of an important aspect of Anglicanism in Australia from its beginnings as a British military colony for exiled convicts. The book will be of interest to liturgical scholars and clergy around the world and also those interested in a vital aspect of Anglicanism in Australia, which has not hitherto been available, to a wider reading public. It should figure on reading lists in seminaries around the world." - Bruce Kaye, Professor, Charles Sturt University.
