THE Anglican Bishop of Tasmania, John Harrower, says he will remember Tasmania as a place of great hospitality and hopes it can do more to help refugees.
Bishop Harrower yesterday officially retired after 15 years as the state’s 11th bishop.
Using his role to call for an inquiry in to child abuse in the church, speak out against domestic violence and challenge the Government’s stance on gambling and refugees, Bishop Harrower was an active member of the community that invited change.
He made headlines when he used his debut media conference to apologise to victims of sexual abuse.
