Fr Dennis Bury died on Saturday 28th December in hospital. Whilst he had been living with the progression of motor neurone disease for some time, his passing was sudden. Ordained over fifty years ago, Dennis has served in a number of parishes during his ministry, including Holy Trinity, Stroud Green,  St Peter's Belsize Park and Hornsey Parish Church, where he has been very involved as an assistant priest since 2012, whilst continuing to serve generously across the deanery and beyond. Most of his ministry, however, was in the field of psychotherapy both as an academic and counselling psychologist. He had a lifelong interest in the scientific study of unexplained phenomena , and was a distinguished member of the Society for Psychical Research. He will also be remembered as a committed environmentalist, an able musician, with a wide range of interests - he took up sailing at the age of 69! Also, and most particularly, as a person of deep commitment and kindness. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and grandchildren - Dennis loved his family very much.
