Today I am interviewing Nathaniel Marshall. Nathaniel recently gave a lecture called “On the Vocation of Lay Reader” for the conference “Called & Consecrated” in Fresno, California. We talk about the the Lay Reader in the Church, and then meanders into other topics.
Nathaniel and I have known each other for about ten years. Thus while I expected our conversation to be lively, I personally found the topic of Lay Reader to be especially intriguing.
Nathaniel is a husband and father, a plumber by trade, a plumbing instructor by day, and a seminarian and postulant to holy orders in the Reformed Episcopal Church. He and his family worship at Christ the King Anglican Church in Marietta, Georgia, and live just a bit north in Acworth.
He is an Oblate of St Benedict with St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, and has written about the intersection of Benedictine spirituality, the Book of Common Prayer, and manual labor for Christianity Today, The North American Anglican, and his own Substack newsletters: The Blue Scholar and diacoNate. He tweets here.
Nathaniel is a Fellow with the Akenside Institute for English Spirituality and serves as the series editor for the works of Father Andrew, SDC. (The first reissued work is Our Lady’s Hymn, and it can be purchased here.)
