Grieg Taber

Grieg Taber (January 21, 1895 - April 8, 1964) was a prominent Anglo-Catholic priest in the American Episcopal Church during the twentieth century. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska and educated at the former St. Stephen's College, Annandale-on-Hudson (BA) and the former Seabury Divinity School (BD 1919). He was ordained to the diaconate in June 1919 and to the priesthood in December 1919. Initially a priest-educator, Taber was master at the Shattuck School in Faribault, Minnesota from 1918 to 1920, and chaplain and instructor in History and Greek at the Trinity-Pawling School (1920–1927).

Taber achieved national prominence as an Anglo-Catholic leader as rector of All Saints Church, Ashmont, Dorchester, Massachusetts (1927–1939) and rector of St. Mary the Virgin, Times Square, from 1939 until his death in 1964. He was a trustee of St. Luke's Home for Destitute and Aged Women, treasurer-general of the American Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament from 1953 to 1963, and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in 1940.

According to his obituary in the New York Times, Taber was a bachelor with a love of music who died of a heart attack at the Metropolitan Opera during Giacomo Puccini's Tosca.

He was succeeded by Donald L. Garfield.
