St Barnabas' Anglican Church Broadway

St Barnabas' Anglican Church on Broadway, known to many as Barney's, has a long tradition of ministry to the diverse communities of the inner city. The congregation was boosted by the arrival of Reverend RBS Hammond in 1918 and his energetic ministry to disadvantaged people and in the cause of temperance. St Barnabas' also became important to students attending Sydney University and the University of Technology. In the 1990s the publican of the Broadway Hotel began a notice-board repartee with Reverend Robert Forsyth that became famous. St Barnabas' burned down in 2006 but was rebuilt and reopened in 2012.
