[edit] History
In post-World War One Sydney, many church buildings were built - Naremburn and Cammeray were just two of these. For decades Naremburn Anglican Church and Cammeray Anglican Church existed as separate churches.
Throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s the Parish of St Cuthbert’s Naremburn and the Parish of All Saints' Cammeray had their ‘glory days’. In those days, the Sunday Schools had 350 children attending each Sunday and St Cuthbert’s won 3 cricket premierships in the local competition.
In the late 1970s a decision was made to join the two Parishes. At that time there there were 4 Anglican church buildings, 3 Church halls, and 2 Church rectories.
By 1997, two of the Anglican churches had been ‘disposed of’, the 3 halls had been demolished, and the 2 rectories had been sold, and a new one built on site.
[edit] Present
In recent years the decline reversed quite radically, evidenced by the fact that by the end of 2006 the Naremburn Cammeray Anglican Church has 10 congregations and a normal Sunday attendance of over 450.
