Fighting Father Dave

Outlook

Available for over a year

When Anglican priest Dave Smith took over the parish of Dulwich Hill in a suburb of the Australian city of Sydney 26 years ago, it was a tough place.

As he told Outlook's Jo Fidgen, he turned to a hobby that had come to mean a lot to him... boxing. Photo: Father Dave Smith, Credit: Tom Toby
