In a branch of the Religious Society of Friends which has traditionally
abjured formal ministerial training and prepared sermons, Judy Anne Williams
began her career in youth ministry, devoting more than 12 years to work with
high-school- and college-aged Quaker youth. In her younger days, she also spent
seven years writing and performing music and giving public ministry with, of
all things, a Quaker gospel choir. Her further experience has included
delivering keynote addresses, presenting workshops, leading retreats, and
serving in various ways among Friends. She was the Presiding Clerk of North
American Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Concerns
from 2005 until 2007. Her interests include Christian mysticism, particularly
that of the late medieval period, feminist and Queer theology, and New
Testament studies.
