Transfield chairwoman Diane Smith-Gander has asked to meet with Newcastle Anglican Bishop Greg Thompson about the priest who won't stop talking about Jesus, morals and asylum seekers.

Father Rod Bower's sign "Hesta Divests Transfield. Good on ya!" outside his Gosford church on August 18 after the superannuation fund divested its Transfield shares, and a tweet saying "Don't invest in evil", led to a call from Transfield and a request for a meeting.

It followed a series of increasingly strong public statements from the priest about Australia's treatment of asylum seekers and Transfield's role managing detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru.
