The Revd. George M. Rogers

I am very happy to have been appointed as a foundation governor at St Olave’s and look forward to getting more involved in the life of the school. I am presently the Vicar of All Saints’ Orpington. I have lived in the US, the UK and Canada.

I am a graduate of Yale and I have been a priest for twenty-one years. I used to enjoy riding, ice hockey and squash, but prefer running these days to keep fit. Reading is also a passion— philosophy, Ruth Rendell novels and psychoanalytical works, as well as perusing varieties of maps. I also enjoy playing classical guitar.

I most recently served as the Vicar of the Benefice of with Murston, and Tonge, in the Diocese of . During my tenure, I served as a foundation governor at Bapchild and Tonge Church of primary school as well as Sunnybank primary school. I also served as chaplain to the Air Cadets, to the Sea Cadets, to the Rugby club and at Canterbury cathedral. My wife Dr Yun Lee Too is a Cambridge educated classicist who has taught at Cambridge, Liverpool, Columbia and Royal Holloway. She has published widely on various Greek and Latin topics.
