“Who they were grew out of their faith,” said the Rev. Russell Levenson, rector of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston. “They believed in our Lord Jesus as our Savior.”
The Rev. Russell Levenson reflects on his time as pastor to former President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush.The president who called for a “kinder, gentler” America, and the last one to have fought in World War II, was shaped by a deep faith in God, a Birmingham-born author says in a new biography.
Levenson, rector of the former president’s home parish of St. Martin’s in Houston since 2007, watched the Bushes handle their later years with a dignified grace that others can learn from, he said. One lesson to be learned from the Bush family is that they remained friends with political rivals despite disagreements, Levenson said.
The Bushes invited the Levenson family to vacation at the presidential family home in Kennebunkport – they traveled there about a half dozen times from 2008-2013, and the family always made them feel welcome, he said.
