Marlene Quinn

Marlene was ordained in 2007. She has worked with the Salvation Army, and at churches in Bedford and Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Marlene shares about her experience serving in the community, including the radio program she began in Parrsboro. Called to Serve is a new 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 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.
