Visiting Priest, Reverend Robert Bower

Our Visiting Priest in October

We are very grateful that Rev. Robert Bower will be serving as our visiting priest all through October, for all four Sundays of Michaelmas. (Paul Corman will be back home in Peru this month, but he will return to us in November.)

Rev. Bower was born in the Midwest, near Chicago. In 1995, he left his work of Accounting and Computer Network Management in the corporate world and became a biodynamic vegetable grower. For over 25 years, he worked on the farms: Angelic Organics in Northern Illinois; Hawthorne Valley in Ghent, NY; and, Camphill Village in Copake, NY.  

In 2019 he began to study at the Christian Community Seminary in Toronto, Canada and was ordained as a priest in May, 2022. He currently works with The Christian Community congregations in the Taconic/Berkshire region and in Boston and their affiliates. He is the father of three sons and currently lives in Ghent, NY, with his wife, Monica.
