Bruce WilsonBruce Wilson is a theologian and social scientist who has also completed post-graduate studies in English literature on the novels of D H Lawrence. A former university chaplain, parish priest of Paddington in inner-city Sydney and head of the Anglian Church's theological college in Canberra, Wilson is currently the Anglican bishop of the central-western, rural diocese of Bathurst. Wilson describes himself as 'not very religious but spiritual to the genes.' He is also the author of the award winning Can God Survive in Australia? He is married and has two adult children.

Two of Bruce's passions are justice for Australian Aborigines and ecumenical relations both between the different churches and between Christianity and other religions. For many years he was Chair of the Reconciliation Task Force of the National Council of Churches in Australia, and in 1997 he ordained Australia's first Aboriginal woman priest, Gloria Shipp. Read More Read Less
