The Bishop of Bunbury
On Saturday, 17th April 2010 Anglicans from around the South West and Great Southern gathered together in Bunbury and elected The Rt. Revd. Allan Ewing to be the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Bunbury. Currently Bishop Allan is serving in the Diocese of Canberra/Goulburn.
He is married to Tricia, a medical scientist working in public health administration, and together they have two adult sons and one grandchild. Bishop Allan is 58 years of age and worked as a qualified accountant and commercial manager in Tasmania before being ordained as a Priest in the Anglican Church in 1988. Then in 2004, having faithfully served in rural, urban and city parishes he was consecrated a Bishop in Canberra/Goulburn.
Working with community leaders has been a significant part of Bishop Allan’s experience. Whether at a local service club, community organisation, parish council, diocesan committee or national group he has found great pleasure in achieving things with others. He appreciates the value gained from every person working together and the impact this has had on his own life.
Bishop Allan has had a diverse ministry. He has served in Canberra (twice), Holbrook, and Batemans Bay, has been an Archdeacon, Chair of the Rural Church Task Force, and has been Regional Bishop in Wagga Wagga.
Born in England in 1951, Australia has been Bishop Allan’s and Tricia’s home for nearly 30 years. He enjoys walking, literature and recorded music. He is a published author on several theological issues and is a well known and respected Bishop of the Anglican Church of Australia.
The clergy and people of the Diocese of Bunbury are excited and pleased to have Bishop Allan as our shepherd and we welcome him with loving and open hearts.
