Index - Home Page - St George in the East Church Cannon Street Road, Anglican parish of St George-in-the-East church with St Paul Whitechapel
Welcome
to the website of the Anglican parish of St George-in-the-East with St Paul, proud to serve a diverse and rapidly-changing community in London's East End.
We are between the City and Docklands, along The Highway - click here for a local map. The area includes extremes of wealth and deprivation, and has been home to many generations of immigrant groups (the majority now are Bengali), alongside lifelong East Enders, and City professionals.
We are a parish of the Diocese of London in the Stepney Episcopal Area and the Deanery of Tower Hamlets, working with other Christians of many traditions and denominations. We are 'clustered' with St Mary Cable Street, St Paul Shadwell, St Peter London Docks and St Dunstan & All Saints Stepney.
Our
parish school is St
Paul's Whitechapel CE Primary School.
As you will discover from this site, the parish has a fascinating
history, with many stories worth telling - there are lots of links to
more detailed sources of information. More important, we are a
living church, with a mission for the 21st century.

St
George-in-the-East Prayer Loving Father, we thank you for calling us to be a beacon of Christ's light on the Highway. For the sake of our neighbours and our community, inspire us to shine with the light of your welcome, your forgiveness, your challenge and your healing love; in Jesus' name. Amen. |
