Zion Lutheran Church (former Union Church) |
| Registered Name |
Zion Lutheran Church (former Union Church) |
| Significance |
The Union Church in Angaston was built to accommodate the expanding congregation of the Union Chapel at Penrice (1844), which was built largely through the efforts of the Angas family, who were prominent in the foundation and settlement of the colony.
Union Chapels were an interesting feature of early South Australia, being open to all denominations, and typically serving both Independents (Congregationalists), Baptists and other dissenting religions. In 1861 the congregation divided over the issue of baptism by immersion and the Independents formed a new church and built their own chapel (now demolished). This substantial building therefore stands as a memorial to the support given to Union Chapels and as a reminder of the propensity for splits to occur over doctrinal issues (HSA Assessment Report, 1998). |
