Buddy Stallings is vicar of St. Bartholomew's in New York City. He has been "The Voice of the eMos" for some years now -- you can hear his Mississippi rendering of Barbara Crafton's prose in the Audio eMos section on the Farm.
But he is also a wonderful wordsmith in his own right. "Thinking It Over" is published here on the Farm's "A Few Good Writers" section, with the kind permission of St. Bartholomew's, one of our favorite churches. Bill Tully is its Rector.
Buddy resides in Manhattan, NY.

The Rev. Matthew Moretz is the creator of the "Father Matthew Presents" series of video blogs. The light-hearted pieces focus on issues of faith and ministry from the perspective of an Episcopal priest; a close-up view of the Episcopal Church in the 21st century.
In Fr. Matthew's words, "My faith journey began at the Church of the Good Shepherd while being raised in Augusta, Georgia. I had some excellent mentors as an adolescent. I discerned a call to the priesthood during and after my undergraduate at Davidson College."
At the end of the summer, 2007, the Rev. Matthew J. Moretz, formerly on staff at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Yonkers, accepted the position of Curate at Christ Episcopal Church, Rye, NY.
Father Matthew lives in Westchester with his wife Melanie, a doctoral student at Fordham University.
