Australian Board of Mission celebrates 165th anniversary – ACNS October 29, 2015 by Fulcrum A response from the Church of England to a request from the Bishop of New Zealand for a boat to be used in missionary work in 1850 led to mission outreach work whose fruit is seen today in a number of Anglican provinces. The response led to the creation of what is now known as the Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) – the national mission agency of the Anglican Church in Australia – which has been actively engaged in mission and outreach work in the Pacific – work which it remains committed to today.
