This project was developed by Michael Griffith (Australian Catholic University) and Jim Tulip (University of Sydney) in conjunction with Rod Pattenden’s Institute for Theology and the Arts, and the Blake Society for Religious Art, which awards the annual Blake Prize. The 1994 and 1995 conferences, both held at Australian Catholic University are reviewed, along with the published volumes of proceedings that emerged from these events. The author attended the most recent conference in 1996 at the University of Sydney. In conclusion the future of the RLA Project is discussed.
