Pastor Sabatelli a native of New York, is a graduate of the City University of New York and our seminary in Philadelphia. He and his wife, Jane, have two grown children and one grandchild. Ordained in 1971 he became the pastor of Christ Church in 1983. Raised in the church, his decision to become a pastor was a natural outgrowth of his faith and the positive experiences he had with the church and his pastors as a young person. On May 20, 2007 Pastor Sabatelli received a Doctorate of Divinity Honoris Causa by the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia for his outstanding leadership and faithful commitment not only to Christ Church, but also the wider church community, including the Delaware-Maryland Synod and the ELCA. His favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."
