John Anderson is well-known as a leader of deep Christian conviction
and integrity. He has served in the House of
Representatives as The National Party member for Gwydir,
Howard Government Minister and as Deputy Prime Minister.
Earlier in 2011, John was made an officer of the Order of
Australia (AO) for service during a distinguished political
career and his contribution to rural Australia.
In Faith and Duty: The John Anderson Story by Paul Gallagher,
his coming to faith is retold. While boarding
at King’s, he asked a Christian teacher a simple
but profound question.
‘“Sir, I’d really like to know what you believe as a Christian”.
'The teacher opened John's eyes to a God of the here
and now... No fireworks or prostrate praying. Just a
conversation that, Anderson remembers, changed his life...John sensed a light going on in his life – something of a spiritual high, though not
with any emotional outpouring. His
experience was a totally internal, private one.’" *
