When the Spirit Calls: Engaging the Challenges of Ministry

Jay Marshall is a life-long Friend reared within North Carolina Yearly Meeting (FUM). A graduate of Guilford College, Duke Divinity School, and Duke University, Jay has served as a pastoral minister, administrator, and educator. In recent years he has devoted significant time to understanding leadership among the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), particularly as a response to God's call. Within those roles he especially enjoys helping individuals identify and pursue their path to ministry, however unconventional it may be. He blogs occasionally at jaymarshallonline.com, and is available for consultations, workshops, and speaking engagements on a variety of subjects. Jay now resides in Greens Fork, Indiana with his wife Judi, who is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church. They view their marriage as a living example of ecumenicity.
