Untitled[edit]

There are inaccuracies on the page - Bishop Harrower was ordained deacon (not priest) in 1984, and a priest in 1986. Additionally, where it says "after five years" is ambiguous. While it was five years after being ordained deacon that he returned to Australia, he was in Argentina for nine years. Please correct and clarify, thanks.

These facts are stated at http://www.anglicantas.org.au/people/?item=57 - if this is not deemed an appropriate source, the disputed points could be removed. - 118.208.247.76 (talk) 11:26, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies[edit]

This article is unbalanced. There is no reference to the numerous controversies over which Bishop Harrower has presided: the sale of Holy Trinity, the moves towards pentecostalism in many parishes, the appointment of Sydney Anglicans/Moore College graduates, his (allegedly false) "prophet" advisor, the bankruptcy/embezzlement scandal at Saint Paul's Glenorchy, the strip club leased from the Church and so on. These need to be well-cited and balanced in tone and we have to be careful to abide by the rules for the biography of a living person but they need to be in there to present a rounded picture of his bishopric. Can someone please provide articles and sources? 66.187.239.10 (talk) 23:18, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
