    rector@stjohns02129.org

    Greg came to St. John’s in September 2020, after serving as Assistant Rector of St. Anne’s in-the-Fields in Lincoln, MA. He received his BA from Harvard University and trained for ordination at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, where he received an MDiv from Yale Divinity School and Diploma in Anglican Studies from Berkeley.

    Greg lives in Charlestown with his wife Alice and their seven-year-old Murray. In his free time, he cooks, runs, studies ancient languages, and develops church-related web applications like Venite, a Daily Office prayer and liturgy-planning app.

  • Douglas Witte

    DIRECTOR OF MUSIC

    Douglas received his undergraduate training in organ and choral music at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge Massachusetts, graduate level training in organ performance at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam, and pursued independent studies under the auspices of the North German Organ Academy, based in Uttum, Ost-Friesland. He has been St John's Music Director since 1993. His musical interests are eclectic, running the gamut from Hindustani sacred music to 1930s Berlin cabaret, but his primary loves are the organ music of Sweelinck and the 17th century North German school, and the Anglican choral tradition, from Tallis to Stanford.
