Audrey Carter

Audrey Carter was ordained in 2001 alongside her husband Jack. Some of the churches they pastored together were in Digby Neck, Barrington, and Woodville. Audrey talks about the advantages of team ministry and the ways she noticed she was treated differently as a female pastor. Called to Serve is a Canadian podcast featuring the stories of women ordained by churches within the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada. Between 1950 and 2020, 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. Called to Serve is funded in part by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and is led by Rev. Dr. Melody Maxwell of Acadia Divinity College.
