Dr. Fullerton’s Presbyterian Churc…

Rare c.19th hand coloured engraving of Dr. Fullerton’s Presbyterina Church, which was on the corner of Pitt Street, and Hay Street in Haymarket.

Fullerton was persuaded by John Dunmore Lang to migrate to Sydney where he arrived on 3 December 1837 in the Portland. He ministered at Windsor but Lang’s synod, which had separated from the Presbytery of New South Wales, soon appointed him to a third Presbyterian group in Pitt Street. He gathered a strong congregation, especially Ulster families, responsive to his vigorous evangelicalism. His voice failed in 1868 but he remained at Pitt Street until 1886.
