“…As Alison Twells has noted, while missionary displays were "shaped by evangelical and enlightenment notions of human 'likeness,' of all peoples as members of one family, this relationship was also based upon an assertion of cultural inequality and difference, expressed in terms of a model of social change whereby all peoples were positioned on a developmental continuum from savagery to civilisation." 68 The college museum was used as a venue for local events and social gatherings, banquets and missionary meetings, and as such facilitated the spread of colonial missionary idea(l)s within Canterbury and its broader religious public. As noted by Longair and McAleer, "museums are compelling sources which enrich our understanding both of the culture of the British Empire and the meaning of culture in empire."…”

Throughout the nineteenth century, religion and Empire became increasingly fused in the Victorian imagination through a lens of providentialism that saw Empire as an instrument for worldwide Christianisation. This article uses the case of St. Augustine's Missionary College to explore the creation of a distinctly colonial Christian culture in Canterbury. This culture was both created and curated through networks and connections made between Canterbury and colonial dioceses, the imagined world of letters fostered by the College, and the presence in Canterbury of “foreign students” whose apparently exemplary lives brought the Empire home to the “garden of England.” Reinforcing the important point that Britain was part of a mutually‐constituted Empire, this article demonstrates how colonial cultures in Britain could be sustained through various means–cultural, social, and here institutional. It moreover uses the case of St. Augustine's to showcase the increasingly self‐conscious links between religion and Empire within Established Anglicanism as colonisation forged the city of Canterbury into the head of a colonial and global Anglican Communion.
