Robert "Bob" Smith is a retired clergyman who spent much of his working life as an army and emergency services chaplain.Originally from the UK, Bob found himself on a boat to Australia a few days shy of his 16th birthday.He had only been to church a handful of times before a near drowning incident saw him drawn to religion. Since then he spent many years in the military, has written a number of books and is a proud family man.Bob and his wife Marilyn found their way up to North East Arnhem Land in 2016. He was offered to work for three months as a fill-in minister at the Uniting Church. The couple loved it so much they returned in 2017 and again in 2018 when this interview took place.What I loved about this conversation was Bob's openness - accepting people for who they are and their own beliefs. He is warm and genuine and if you like a good story - this episode is definitely worth a listen.
NOTE: There was a bit of construction going on near the studio so you will hear occasional drill noises.
