Summary:Although marked by suspicion reaching back to sectarianism among early colonisers, theology endures in Australian institutions - albeit not always being welcome in universities. Creative responses to exclusion from university contexts have emerged over time - some more stable, others quite fragile.

This article charts institutional developments and then explores gender and colonial history as areas of ongoing tension.
