Sir Marcus Loane was proud of his pioneering forebears, and was himself a pioneer. He was the first Australian-born Archbishop of Sydney and Primate of Australia, and the first Primate to visit every Anglican diocese in the land.
He was both a wise and compassionate pastor and a strong evangelical leader, skilfully guiding his diocese and denomination through the shoals of change in both church and nation. His publications and preaching were deeply appreciated all over the world.
"Blanch writes with elegant, austere prose. Deeply and meticulously researched, it is a warm and admiring account of Loane."
- Rory Shiner, The Gospel Coalition Australia
