Those Church Signs

What drives the priest behind those controversial church signs

Quote:

Father Rod Bower is famous for the thought-provoking signs outside his church at Gosford, on the New South Wales Central Coast. They are often a reaction to the day's news, and recently he has had trouble keeping up with the political upheaval in Canberra. Over just a few days, the messages reflected the rapidly changing scene. From "GOD HELP US" to "CHANGE LEADER, CHANGE NOTHING. CHANGE SYSTEMS, CHANGE THE WORLD". The Anglican priest has now written a book called, appropriately, Outspoken: The Life and Work of the Man Behind Those Signs. "Why I'm outspoken is because there are some incredibly important things for us to think about as a people, as a nation, and part of the prophetic role in the church is to get people to think about that and to highlight those issues," Father Bower said. "I'm passionate about human rights and so that's what drives me out onto the stage."

Well whaddaya know. A progressive church leader.
