Vestry Candidate: Greg Bellavia
I would like to serve on the St. Cross Vestry because: I have found a home in this Church which was lacking in my life and I would like to give back. I was raised Catholic and while my family was always liberal, there were certain practices that turned me off that led me away from “organized” religion (LBGTQIA issues, the treatment of women etc.) Reconnecting with like minded individuals within an organization that strives to do positive work has been a pleasure and I would love to help serve the greater good.
In my life’s work, I am/have been particularly good at these skills:
- Public Speaking
- Creativity (I write / direct my own material)
- Teamwork
- Leadership
Other skills that I have which could be valuable on the Vestry:
- Problem Solving
- Listening
- Empathy
- Bonus: Video Editing (how I help pay the bills)
Special hobbies/interests which I enjoy:
- Making short films (if St. Cross could use something of this nature we could have some fun with it)
- Writing
- Cooking
The area of ministry that interests me most is: Social Justice (now more than ever)
