Like most Australians, I first became aware of Father Rod Bower through the signs he posts out the front of his church building in Gosford. There were signs in support of asylum-seekers, signs supporting the rights of gay and lesbian people and, most relevant to us here, regular signs expressing goodwill towards the Muslim community.
Father Rod and I were clearly on the same path and it was only a matter of time before we bumped into each other.
The interview with him here took place in the ‘Affinity’ office in Circular Quay, Sydney, on 30 October 2018.
