The Rt. Rev. M. Philip Poole was consecrated Area Bishop of York-Credit Valley, Ontario, Canada, on February 5, 2005. Before becoming Bishop, he was rector of Trinity Church, Aurora, Ontario. His path to the priesthood took a circuitous route. Son of an Anglican priest, Philip early developed an interest in outreach and in international ministry--a "giving back to God," he has said. Deciding he was not ready for university immediately after high school, Poole went to work as a stock boy for a multi-national firm in Toronto and eventually went into sales training for the same company. He later enrolled in Wilfred Laurier University, earning a BA in music. His theological degrees are from Trinity College, University of Toronto. Before going to Trinity, Aurora, Poole served two other parishes and was chaplain at Trinity College School, Port Hope.

His wife Karen works in the public schools with children who have special challenges and they have two sons, both university students. Poole is a hockey and Canadian football fan, enjoys bridge and music.
