The Rev. F. M. “Buddy” Stallings is Priest-in-Charge at St. Bart’s after serving as Vicar from March 2008 to January 2012.
Previously he served parishes in Jackson, MS, San Francisco, and Staten Island. In a former life, he was the Executive Vice President of the Waverley Group, a national firm, which owned and operated nursing homes and retirement centers throughout the United States.
Believing with all his heart that the world has never stood in greater need of transformation, Buddy dreams that the church—St. Bart’s and beyond—can be a conveyor of hope and peace.
On January 23, 2012, Buddy became "Priest-in-Charge." In an unusual move, the Bishop of the Diocese of New York has allowed the Wardens and Vestry to name Buddy in this position with the hope that at the end of a period of time determined by the Bishop, he will be named Rector.
A passionate grandfather, reader and a devotee of things New York City, Buddy is a southern expatriate, who hopes never to live anywhere else!
