Meet the Emmanuel Day School Chaplain

Born in Doncaster, England, Fr. Greg is the son of an Anglican priest. He attended Harvard Divinity School and Virginia Theological Seminary and was ordained in 1992. After working for three years as Assistant to the Rector and then Priest-in-Charge at Calvary Church in Summit, NJ, he received a call to serve as the Rector of Emmanuel Church, beginning his work at Emmanuel in October 1995.

During his tenure at Emmanuel Church, Fr. Greg has worked to incorporate children and youth into the full life of the parish. The Emmanuel Day School is part of his vision that the whole child is important to God and that intellectual learning, spiritual formation, and physical and social development go hand-in-hand.

Fr. Greg also is passionate about outreach. He believes that God calls us to share from our abundance and to reach out to those whose basic needs are not being met. He has a strong interest in the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals, particularly in the elimination of extreme poverty throughout the world. He is engaged in a doctoral program at Virginia Theological Seminary, specializing in congregational and ministry development. Ethical, behavioral, social, and biblical implications of the Millennium Development Goals are at the heart of his doctoral thesis.
