Description: Emeritus Professor Gary Bouma was many things to many people. He was Australia’s pre-eminent scholar of the sociology of religion. As an ordained Anglican priest, Gary was noted for his pastoral care of his parishioners and others who sought his counsel and spiritual support. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. Moreover, his deep commitment to social justice and harmony greatly influenced Gary’s participation in interfaith dialogue. Gary contributed so much to scholarship and building bridges between religious communities, that he was justly rewarded with an Order of Australia as a Member (AM) in recognition for his services to sociology, to the Anglican Church of Australia, and to inter religious relations in the 2013 Australia Day Honours.
