Houston Newsmakers EXTRA: Celebration of Reading for the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation

Reverend Russell Levenson, D.Min, is the Rector at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston. If the name sounds familiar, it was the home church of former President George H.W. and Barbara Bush. In his capacity as their pastor, Reverend Levenson was accepted like a family member by the Bush family and was with the former president and Mrs. Bush in the final years and moments of their lives. So powerful was the connection and the experience that Reverend Levenson said he felt compelled to let the world know about their uncommon faith and love for family.
