'He doesn't wave a Bible at them. He just offers a friendly face.' John Kao tells the story of his father, Rev Peter Kao, who is Chinese Chaplain at the Missions to Seamen. He and his wife Jenny provide a home from home in Ethel Road, E16, where students, nurses, and seamen can play Chinese billiards and Chinese chess, cook mountains of chop suey and imagine they are back home.
