Our Leadership

The Rev'd Andrew Cannan

Andrew appreciates the diversity of the journeys that bring people to find a home at St. Paul's. He was baptized a Methodist, majored in religious studies at a Baptist university, married a Presbyterian, received a Master of Divinity as a Devil (the blue, basketball-crazed variety), and was ordained in a congregationalist church prior to finding his way as an Episcopal priest. "I was drawn to this strange Church that accepted the messiness of life and embraced it with grace and dignity. That sounded like a place where I could learn to live with God. That and I was always wanted to dress like Johny Cash.” In their downtime, Andrew and his wife, Ashley, enjoy East Carolina evenings in the backyard with their sons. On days off, he likely won’t be found fishing a remote section of the Eastern Pamlico that he is reluctant to disclose.

The Rev'd Deacon Bobby Weatherly

Bobby Weatherly was born and baptized Presbyterian in Pontotoc Mississippi and lived in Mississippi for his first 71 years. After leaving Mississippi, St Paul’s found him wandering around Greenville looking for a spiritual home. He majored in business and finance at Mississippi State University and worked for an electric utility company serving western MS, moving 7 times in 13 years when his wife Dannie said, “enough moving”. Bobby and Dannie are likely the only couple to move to Port Gibson, MS twice. In 1981, Bobby began a new career of financial planning and investment advisory services located in Vicksburg, MS where Dannie and Bobby lived until moving to Greenville in June 2017. They love spending time with their daughter, grandson, son, and daughter-in-law exploring North Carolina, especially the outer banks. Bobby's recreational interests include swimming and fly fishing when not spending too much time playing online bridge. On Jan. 4, 2003, he was ordained Deacon in the Diocese of Mississippi for the work of servant ministry with all the baptized in this crazy church and beyond.

David Baskeyfield

David hails from the United Kingdom, where he read Law at the University of Oxford while serving as the Organ Scholar at St. John's College. His passion for music led him across the Atlantic to the Eastman School of Music, where he obtained his Master’s and Doctoral degrees. Alongside a career as performer and recording artist, David is a devoted church musician. He has a deep sensibility for the liturgy and is committed to the role of music in enhancing its beauty, and helping direct our prayers and praise to God. In addition to his role at St. Paul's, David is Professor of Organ and Sacred Music at East Carolina University (ECU) and Artistic Director of the Eastern Carolina Musical Arts Education Foundation (ECMAEF).

Margaret Brooks

"I have had the pleasure of serving as office administrator since just prior to Pentecost 2015. Keeping up with church information and documentation in the form of weekly bulletins, monthly newsletters, parish records and providing whatever support I can offer to the army of church volunteers, especially our Desk Volunteers fill my work days. I love the people of St. Paul’s who touch my life every week.

My husband Brad and I got married in 1987 at St. Paul’s, Edenton, started our family in Rocky Mount but moved to Greenville when our children, Rob and Abbe, were in elementary school. The kids are grown so Brad and I now enjoy grandparenthood and the continued joys of our dogs. You may know one of our dogs, he is a regular volunteer in the office, Duncan, our Cavalier King Charles spaniel."
