The Sydney City Mission was established in 1862, the Colporteur Society〔otherwise known as a tract society – see Colportage〕 – later known as the Town and Country Mission – and then as the Brisbane City Mission established in 1869, and Adelaide City Mission – later known as Mission SA in 1867. Mission Australia formed in 2000 as the result of an amalgamation of a number bodies, these were: *Brisbane City Mission *Sydney City Mission *Hunter Mission *Mission Australia Southern NSW *Mission Australia Group Training and Mission Employment *Mission SA *Perth City Mission *Wollongong City Mission 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mission Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
