1975 Church Picture Book - Rev. Allen Brindisi, Pastor
April 28, 1946 - September 26, 2006
Rev. Brindisi was Pastor at Plains Church from 1971 thru 1976.
Rev. Dr. A. Allen Brindisi
The Rev. Dr. Brindisi, pastor of the Davidson College Presbyterian Church since December 2000, died on September 26, 2006 after a battle with cancer. He was born on April 28, 1946 in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, the son of the Rev. P. Arthur Brindisi and the late Viola Allen Brindisi.
Rev. Brindisi earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Colgate University, a Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary. Ordained to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament in 1971 by the Presbytery of Utica, NY, he served pastorates in Evans City, PA, Niagara Falls, NY, Cocoa Beach, FL, and Davidson, NC. He served as moderator of the Presbytery of Central Florida, and recently served as an alumni trustee for Princeton Theological Seminary.
By far the most notable attribute of Rev. Brindisi's ministry, however, was his caring and pastoral manner in dealing with others, whether members of his congregation or in the larger community such as the partnership he initiated with a Presbyterian congregation in Kikuyu, Kenya to build a Youth and Child Development Center to provide educational opportunities for pre-school children and youth. The Center opened in early 2006 and serves children orphaned by AIDS and youth seeking computer training.
Rev. Brindini reflected often on his successful ministry and how the Lord blessed each church with numerical and physical growth, peace, and unity. However, he was always quick to say that the crowning achievement of his life was found not in his professional career, but in the partnership with his wife, Ann, as they gave the world two sons of whom they are most proud.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Ann Chabot Brindisi, whom he met while in youth fellowship in their middle school years. He is also survived by son, Jess Brindisi, daughter-in-law, Sue Brindisi, and grandson Jack, all of Gainesville, VA; son, Corey Brindisi of Key West, FL; father, the Rev. P. Arthur Brindisi and step-mother, Norma of Leesburg, FL; and sister and brother-in-law, Patricia and Gary Gildersleeve of New Hartford, NY.
