TIMOTHY CRELLIN was raised in Sherborn, Massachusetts. His family attended St. Paul’s Church in Natick, which was his sponsoring parish. After graduating from Brown University, Tim worked with children and teens in the South End for two years, running an after school program, a mentor program, and providing counseling and support to teens. Tim received his Master of Divinity from Harvard in June of 1996. His senior paper, The Barbara C. Harris Camp and Conference Center: A proposal, helped lead to the creation of a new diocesan camp and conference center in New Hampshire, which opened during the summer of 2002. Tim was ordained to the diaconate in September of 1996, and to the priesthood in April of 1997. He served as Associate Rector of the Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill for three years, before being called by the Bishop to be vicar of St. Stephen’s Church in the South End. Tim and his wife, Jenny Sazama live in Jamaica Plain, and are the proud parents of a five year old son named Adam. Tim is fluent in Spanish and Italian. He has completed ten marathons.

As Lead Organizer of the Boston Youth Organizing Project, Liz developed the leadership of over 750 youth and helped win $1 million of additional textbooks for classrooms, cleaner bathrooms in the schools, and longer hours of free public transportation for students. She also did labor organizing with SEIU (Service Employees International Union) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with school support workers and Boston, Massachusetts with janitors.
