In Brisbane February 1973 the retiring director Rev Harry Griffiths told the Methodist conference the Inland Mission has less than half its needed staff with four ministers and one home missioner to fill eleven posts.

Enrollment rose with 250 more practising members and over 15 060 Sunday school pupils. It was agreed to form a Queensland Methodist Historical society to compile the state's church history.
