    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 nine year
    old son named Adam.  Tim has been honored to receive the Robert W. Tobin
    Award for Social Justice in 2008 and a Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Grant in
    2009.  In his spare time, he runs marathons (he's completed 10), enjoys
    coaching youth soccer and baseball, and speaks fluent Italian and Spanish.

    Liz Steinhauser joined St. Stephen's staff as Director of Youth Programs in
    August 2003.  She brings over twenty years of professional training and work
    as a community organizer.  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.

    Liberation theology helped develop her commitment to social justice, and Girl
    Scouts helped build her arts and crafts skills and her repertoire of goofy songs.
    Liz is a graduate of Colgate University and Harvard Divinity School and is an
    ordained priest here in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. She lives in
    Jamaica Plain with her six-year old son, Heschel, who currently is obsessed
    with superheroes.
