Father Rod Bowers questioned by Chris Kenny on Sky News.

Advocacy has done a couple of posts recently about that clerical cult figure of Australian social media, Father Rod Bower of the Anglican Parish of Gosford in New South Wales.   To see them, scroll down the sidebar to Labels and click on the tag 'Anglicans'.  

Last night, Father Rod appeared on a Chris Kenny interview on Rupert Murdoch's Sky News.  The interview (to see it click the link) was quite ascerbic at times. Father Rod performed well.

As the writer of this post listened to Father Rod, she was reminded of the old Bee Gees song - "Words".

This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

The Anglican Parish of Gosford and the rising star of Father Rod Bowers

Father Rod Bowers is a bit of a stand-out within the Anglican Church in Australia.  His fame has grown on social media with his use of the noticeboard at the Anglican Church of Gosford. Father Rod posts pithy sayings on the church noticeboad, photographs them and everyone sees them on Facebook.  Most - but not all - relate to current affairs.  With some of these, Father Rod points out the contrast with the teachings of Jesus.  However, as you can see from the picture above of the current (as this post is written) header on the parish Facebook site, Father Rod has become quite blunt indeed on his assessment of this nation's matters of governance.

Here is the latest noticeboard offering from Father Rod ...

has been saying this week - this is a reference to the PM's

talk of TEAM AUSTRALIA)

“Begin at the beginning," the King said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

Morning everyone. 

This post serves to advise that the historic Ballarat parish of Saint Paul's Anglican Church at Bakery Hill is in the midst of establishing a voice for social and environmental justice under the title of Advocacy @ St Pauls. 

It would be so nice if you could help us to establish ourselves in the world of social media - by emailing our future posts to your networks as appropriate; friending us; liking us; re-posting and re-tweeting from our blog.

And if you think there is something we should be investigating and talking about, please let us know that too. We would like to hear from other Anglican parishes who have a similar group in their parish. If you wish to email us please write to: advocacyballarat@gmail.com
