History
The Anglican Department of Youth and Education was established in 1919, separate from the Anglican Board of Education. The Anglican Board of Education changed names in 1994 to become the Anglican Education Commission shortly before it combined with the Anglican Youth Department and the Anglican Education Commission to become Anglican Youthworks.
The Anglican Youth Department focus had been in youth ministry and Christian camping, while the Anglican Education Commission’s key activities were publishing religious education materials, advocacy to the government, children’s and adult education.
The new organisation brought together ministries to children and youth in different contexts – church, school and at camp. Anglican Youthworks is a major division of the Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney. The charter and framework was set out in a document known as an ordinance.
