HIS mother was a 16-year-old Newcastle girl who
gave him up for adoption, the three fathers in his life died tragically
young, and he had a “raging hangover” when he walked into a Mayfield
church in 1984 as a first step towards becoming an Anglican priest.
Father
Rod Bower tells the story of his Hunter upbringing in his new book,
Outspoken, to explain how a conservative country boy became known years
later for challenging the powerful on some of the most controversial

Father Bower’s signs outside the Newcastle diocese Gosford Anglican Church have championed marriage equality

reform – “When will they love your kids more than their guns?” and the
environment – “There is no planet B”.More here-
