George Halford (bishop)

Halford resigned his bishopric in Rockhampton in 1920 to establish the Order of Witness, which was a radical experiment within the Anglican church extension movement of the interwar period.

To support their work, the Order obtained in 1922–1923 a small farm adjoining Christ Church, Tingalpa.

[4][5] The priory, grounds and chapel of the Order of Witness were blessed by the Archbishop of Brisbane on 22 February 1923.

A painted figure of out Lord on the Cross hangs from the roof, and the altar is backed by dorsals and flanked by riddels of blue material.

Local parishioners were encouraged to attend the chapel services, and a call was made for funds to restore the building and cemetery.
