ASC Staff

Rick Fabian
(Founder and President)

Rick is founder of All Saints Company and co-founder of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church.  Since the early days of his ordained ministry, Rick has offered to the church an extraordinary ability to synthesize modern church growth models with patristic theology and practice.  He realized his life-long dream to found a church on the teaching of the Cappadocian theologians with the founding of St. Gregory of Nyssa in 1978, which has developed an international reputation as a center for the development of Christian worship.  A highly-regarded liturgical scholar, he is a member of the international Societas Liturgica and the North American Academy of Liturgy.  He continues to lecture and write, and his church music compositions are published in various Episcopalian service books.

Donald Schell
(Consultant and Creative Director)

Over the past 30 years, Donald has founded and developed the urban congregation of St. Gregory’s from an organizing dozen members to a parish with national recognition for its innovative approaches to liturgy and mission and its teaching contribution to the wider church. In 2007, Donald joined All Saints Company full time in order to consult, publish, and lead workshops on the discoveries made at St. Gregory’s.  Donald has written My Father, My Daughter: Pilgrims on the Road to Santiago and has contributed chapters to Searching for Sacred Space, to What Would Jesus Sing?, and to Music By Heart: Paperless Songs for Evening Worship.

Daniel Simons
(Executive Director)

Daniel continues to expand the reach of All Saints Company and give it a national profile as a leader in liturgical renewal.  An ordained priest, he previously served as Canon Pastor at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Harrisburg, Penn., and then for six years as a brother with the Society of St. John the Evangelist in Cambridge Massachusetts.  Daniel is active on national and diocesan liturgical councils and commissions and has been an adjunct liturgy instructor at Virginia Theological Seminary and Church Divinity School of the Pacific.

Matthew Burt
(Project Director)

Matthew’s work is centered around coordinating and producing conferences and publications for All Saints Company. He holds master’s degrees in theology and music from Oxford, Harvard, and Boston Universities, and also works as the Director of Music Ministry at Christ Episcopal Church in Portola Valley, California. He is the Managing Editor of The Harvard University Hymn Book (Harvard University Press, 2007), and is formerly Director of Music at Harvard Divinity School. 

Emily Scott
(New Music Project Director)

Emily Scott coordinates the New Music Project—an effort to encourage the practice of “paperless” music in a church setting. She has been involved in the planning and leading of three All Saints Company events built around the practice of singing by ear with congregations. Emily is the Director of Worship at The Riverside Church in New York City. A trained trombonist, Emily has been intrigued by the connections between the arts and worship since childhood, and is building a career dedicated to crafting worship that creates a space for people from diverse backgrounds to sing and pray together.
