Bruce Grainger Email & Phone Number

Originally a medical student, after National Service in the Army as Assistant Adjutant of a Signals Regiment, I returned to University to read Theology. After a further two years at Theological College I was ordained in the Church of England. I served at Bingley West Yorkshire followed by five years teaching Biology and Religious Studies in Canterbury at the King's School where I was also a Minor Canon of Canterbury Cathedral and regularly sang services there. I then became Vicar of Baildon near Bradford and was subsequently appointed an Honorary Canon of Bradford Cathedral. Later I was appointed Director of Ordinands and taught part time for 12 years for the Northern Ordination Course. On retirement I was one of five Canons who looked after Bradford Cathedral during its interregnum and I still conduct services there fairly regularly.I am interested in choral music. I was area chair for the Royal School of Church Music for 14 years until 2013, I conduct the Ad Hoc Singers in Keighley and sing with the Aire Valley Singers and Concordiamici. I enjoy running a 1928 car and an old motorcycle. I enjoy travel especially to the arctic.

Listed skills include Pastoral, Religious Studies, Theology, Teaching, and 15 others.
