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.
