Bowers was consecrated a bishop by Thabo Makgoba (Archbishop of Cape Town), Stephen Diseko (Bishop of Matlosane), and Allan Kannemeyer (Bishop of Pretoria). His consecration at St Paul's Cathedral in 2018 was the first to be held on the island, made more practical by the opening of Saint Helena Airport in 2016.

Before becoming bishop, Bowers was vicar of Jamestown in St Helena.[2]
