Noah Merrill
New England Yearly Meeting Secretary and recent FWCC Americas Keynote Speaker

Noah Merrill seeks to be faithful in Friends' tradition of gospel ministry—the practical spiritual work of encouraging faithfulness and awakening hearts. Noah’s gifts of vocal ministry, writing, and presence have been recorded by his local and regional meetings. His service has included advocacy and humanitarian aid efforts in support of the people of Iraq and southern Mexico, as well as organizing and nonviolent action in response to violence and injustice in many forms. Noah was a founding board member of Quaker Voluntary Service, seeking to offer opportunities for faith formation and service in Friends tradition for young adults across the United States. For much of the past twenty years, he has been blessed to travel, connect, and serve among Friends throughout the Americas and beyond. In these travels, he has particularly cherished opportunities to encourage Friends called to ministry in Cuba, Bolivia, and the United States as they recognize and respond to God’s call in these times. In April 2012, Noah offered the plenary worship address on behalf of North American Friends at the Sixth World Conference of Friends in Kenya. Since 2013, he has served as Secretary for New England Yearly Meeting of Friends, nurturing the life of local Friends meetings throughout the Northeastern United States. A member of Putney Monthly Meeting, he makes his home in the West River Valley of Southern Vermont.

Option 1: Invitation to Quaker Eldering - Mary Kay Glazer (Book Room)

The role and function of spiritual elders is an important one in our meetings.

This interest group is for those who are curious about what it means to be a Quaker elder today; those you would like to encourage this ministry in their meetings; and those who would like to share how they have experienced the ministry of Quaker eldering in their meetings.

Mary Kay Glazer is co-author of the book An Invitation to Quaker Eldering: On Being Faithful to the Ministry of Spiritual Nurture Among Friends.
