Peter Corney

Peter James Corney (born 25 September 1937) is an Australian retired Anglican theologian and pastor who was the vicar of St Hilary's Anglican Church in Kew from 1975 to 1999.

Corney was born in Perth, Western Australia, in 1937. He studied at Guildford Grammar School, matriculating in 1959. From 1960 to 1963, he studied at Ridley College in Melbourne. He later went on to study for a graduate degree in theology with the Australian College of Theology and the Melbourne College of Divinity. He would continue much of his intellectual and social justice work.

Outside of St Hilary's, Corney researched and lectured at his former alma mater, Ridley College as well as authoring many books and other Christian commentaries on issues occurring throughout the world.

In recognition of Corney's ministry at St Hilary's, the parish named one of their buildings the Peter Corney Training Centre after him and also honoured him with the honorific title of Vicar Emeritus for the remainder of his life.
