A Mission Church was built and dedicated by 1915. In the 1940s and 1950s it was known for its observant Sarum Rite, then through the 1960s incorporated western liturgical usage and customs. In terms of its parish boundaries, St James’ is probably the smallest parish in the Diocese of Melbourne. The church is situated in the midst of Melbourne's orthodox Jewish district. Today St James the Great is known for its observant liturgical tradition in a building described by one bishop as a hidden gem. |

| St Luke's, Enmore | Sydney | Self-identifies as Anglo-Catholic; "We worship in the style which is sometimes called Anglo-Catholic or High Church. This means we use symbol and ceremony, candles, holy water, incense and colourful vestments. We love processions and singing and as many people as possible taking leadership roles in the worship. Above all, we delight to gather in a circle around the altar to bless the bread and wine which is for us the body and blood of Christ, and to share it together." | The organ at St Luke’s Enmore is believed to be the only Australian example of an instrument built by Wordsworth & Maskell of Leeds, UK. The organ builders, Wordsworth & Co., were originally known as Wordsworth & Maskell of Leeds. They built over 160 organs for the northern English counties and over 50 new organs in Leeds. They also exported instruments to India, Newfoundland, Russia, Australia, Canada and the West Indies. Erection of the organ at Enmore began with its unpacking in the church on 17 December 1883 and was completed on 22 December 1883. The formal opening took place on 1 January 1884. A complete restoration was completed in March 2011. |

—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
