Bush Brotherhood Seeks New Members Across Central Queensland
The Anglican Bishop of Rockhampton urges recruitment for the Bush Brotherhood after wartime decline. Men from England have left, local conditions favor clergy familiar with the area, and the Brotherhood plans revival with four students at theological college and one starting next year. Members live frugally, vow poverty and obedience, earn a modest stipend, and serve up to five years across the Far West and Dawson Valley sectors.
