Alf Clint

[4] In 1927 he entered St John's College, Morpeth for training for ordination, becoming a lay reader in the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Bathurst at the same time.

[14] In 1951, suffering from severe dermatitis (which "caused his skin to peel off like a mango"),[15] he was advised against returning to the tropics and became rector of St Barnabas', South Bathurst.

[21] In 1960 the Rt Rev John Matthews was elected Bishop of Carpentaria; he considered Clint to be a destabilizing influence and, in 1961, banned him from entry to Anglican missions in the diocese.

[23] Clint was still general secretary when he died: the morning of his death he called the staff to his bedside, and urged them to continue their work.

[28] Unusually for a Christian cleric, he was the subject of a sympathetic obituary in the Communist Party of Australia's newspaper, Tribune.

[29] A memorial sanctuary bell was installed at St Barnabas', South Bathurst,[30] although the church was subsequently destroyed by fire in 2014.
