Eric Bird is our Associate Minister.
Eric began his working life as an engineering draughtsman, and after nine years he joined the Christian Broadcasting Association, later to become 2CBA-FM in Sydney. After 12 years with CBA Eric entered Moore Theological College.
Eric was ordained in 1972 and spent two years as a curate at both Punchbowl/Beverly Hills North and St. Michael’s Cathedral in Wollongong. He then became Rector of St. John’s, Keiraville before taking up the challenge of what was then the New Housing Area of Minto. Those years at Minto were the most fulfilling of all the years in the ministry and led ultimately to “retirement” at Shoalhaven Heads and a ministry at St. Peter’s which has spanned more than 20 years.
Eric's ministry at St. Peter's includes occasional preaching, running the Friday Morning Bible Study Group, pastoral work, writing our weekly bulletin, and he hosts a weekly local radio show. We don't allow him any spare time.
