Designed by University of Sydney architect Edmund Blacket, St Stephens is considered among his most mature architectural achievements. Though much loved as a spiritual home by many, St Stephen’s was nearly bereft of a congregation more than once in the 20th century. Yet today, it hosts a vibrant church community that feels like a new flowering, according to its senior minister, Andrew Errington. Errington says 150 years is a mere drop in the ocean of time of the site’s history.
