Pleased to Meet You ?
George Bush was delighted when
some years ago the Firefighters’
Company alighted (no pun
intended) upon St Mary-le-Bow
for its church; this turned out to
be especially appropriate since
Watling Street – the site of the
original Massey-Shaw Fire
Station - is now in the parish.
He was even more pleased when
asked to succeed David Rhodes as Chaplain and hopes that
over time the members of the Company will feel confident
in him, not only for Company celebrations and services but
also for any other way in which he may be useful to
individuals and family members.
George has been Rector of St Mary-le-Bow for eight years,
after a ministry which since 1985 has taken him to inner
city Leeds, Cambridge University and London’s East End.
George is much absorbed in St Mary-le-Bow’s concern to
promote a reasonable faith and dialogue between the
church and the world and has lately become Chair of a
charitable company –
Arcubus -
seeking to spread financial
services to poor communities in Mozambique and
Tanzania.
