David Snellgrove dies, was GA-PJC moderator

BATESVILLE, MISS. Paul David Snellgrove died peacefully with his family by his side on April 6, 2011, at age 71.

Born in Gadsden, Ala., Snellgrove graduated from Columbia Theological Seminary in 1973 and was ordained by St. Andrew Presbytery. He served pastorates in Ripley and Batesville, Miss., before becoming executive of St. Andrew Presbytery in 1985. In 1989 he became synod executive for the Synod of Living Waters and served there until his retirement in 2004. The Living Waters for the World project and Clean Water U were both launched during his tenure there.

Snellgrove served two terms on the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission of the PC(USA) from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, and for much of that time he was the commission’s moderator. He was also a member of the Assembly’s Special Committee to Review Disciplinary Process that between 1992 and 1994 revised much of the Rules of Discipline.

David was a founder and leader of the Genevans, a group dedicated to promoting and defending the opportunity of all to participate in the decisions of the national church.
