Overview

James and Angelina Noble were pioneer evangelists and advocates among Aboriginal Australians. Angelina was a gifted linguist. In 1925, James became the first Indigenous Australian to be ordained in the Anglican church. Together they were instrumental in mission endeavours in Queensland, Arnhem Land and Western Australia. Their story of faith, sacrifice and service continues to inspire and instruct today. ""James and Angelina Noble were devoted Christian people, proudly Aboriginal and significant Australians. Their loyal, self-effacing and lifelong contribution to the future of their own people and to Christian mission should never be forgotten. In this well-researched and sensitively written publication, Wei-Han Kuan has brought Angelina and James back to life."" Rev Dr John Harris, author of One Blood ""James and Angelina's story of faith, sacrifice and mission continues to inspire Indigenous and non-Indigenous Christians alike. I commend the author's desire to see their legacy live on and pray that this account will encourage many to follow Jesus faithfully, just as James and Angelina did."" Rev Neville Naden, Indigenous Ministry Officer, The Bush Church Aid Society
