Toorak Gardens

The Anglican Church of Saint Theodore, Toorak Gardens, is part of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide. Located on the site are the ninety year old church, two halls and a spiritual garden.
The present church was built and opened for worship in 1914, on the corner of Prescott Terrace and Swaine Avenue Toorak Gardens. The Church Hall, constructed in 1925, has played a focal part in the life of the local community. The Rectory was built in 1961. After a disaterous fire in 1960 the church was rebuilt with a new Sanctuary and Vestry.
The Church's architecture is notable for its basilican design of pillars supporting arches over interior aisles.
The Church is dedicated to Saint Theodore of Tarsus, a learned Greek monk, who was consecrated in 688 to be Archbishop of Canterbury at the age of 66 years! He was to bring order and unity with strong leadership to the English Church and was the first archbishop of Canterbury to whom all England looked as their father in God. He firmly established the primacy of Canterbury, which exists to this day.
In 2004 the parish celebrated its 90th anniversary.
