On 10 September, the Chaplain-President met the Revd Lord Stephen Green at Bishop Robert's office in Brussels. Lord Green is a priest of the Church of England who has exercised most of his ministry in finance and banking, notably as chairman of HSBC Bank. He received his peerage to work as Minister for Trade and Investment in the UK Coalition Government from 2011 to 2013. Bishop Robert mentioned his appointment as chair of the Diocesan Board of Finance in his address to the Diocesan Synod in June this year. Stephen has a wealth of financial and ethical acumen on which European Anglicans will be able to draw and is a passionate European: Jack was able to discuss with him ways in which his experience could serve the Archbishop of Canterbury's Permanent Representation to the EU, which Bishop Robert chairs.
