The Borough Deans

Ecumenical Borough Deans (EBDs) are unique to London. Each London Borough has a group of Borough Deans whose main focus is to represent the Christian Church to the Local Authority. There is an annual meeting in Westminster for all Borough Deans under the auspices of the London Churches Group.

In Greenwich there are currently seven EBDs:

• Pastor Mike Leader, co Pastor at Charlton & Blackheath Christian Fellowship (representing the Independent Evangelical Churches)
• The Rev'd Martyn Coe, Minister at St Mark's United Reformed Church, Greenwich (representing the Methodist and URC Churches)
• The Rev'd Colin Davey, Minister at Blackheath & Charlton Baptist Church (representing the Baptist Church)
• Captain Eileen Halliday, Officer in charge of Plumstead Salvation Army (representing the Salvation Army)
• Pastor Dele Olowofusi, Assistant Pastor at New Wine Church, Woolwich (representing the Black majority churches)
• The Rev'd Michael Scanlon, Parish Priest at St Peter's RC Church, Woolwich (representing the Roman Catholic Church)
• The Rev’d Malcolm Torry, Team Rector of East Greenwich Team Ministry (representing the Anglican Church)
