At the Canadian Baptist Historical Society (Special Episode)

Today we’ll be sharing a recent presentation that some of our team gave for the Canadian Baptist Historical Society in Toronto. Dr. Melody Maxwell and MA student Joetta Fernando shared their paper, “Answering the Call: Baptist Women in Second-Career Ministry," describing their research on the dynamics of Baptist women who pursue ministry later in life as a second career.Called to Serve, the book, is now available for purchase through our website, as well as on Amazon and other stores! Royalties will go towards a scholarship for female students at Acadia Divinity College. Find your copy at calledtoserve.ca/the-book and support women in ministry!Called to Serve is a Canadian podcast featuring the stories of women ordained by churches within the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada. Between 1954 and 2024, over one hundred women were ordained to ministry in Atlantic Baptist churches and around the world. Our project shares and preserves these women's experiences—the joys and challenges they faced, and the impact they've made through their ministries. Learn more at calledtoserve.ca.
