Gretchen Baker-Smith is a member of Westport Friends Meeting in Massachusetts. Her experience of call has led her on a wandering journey of ministry, mostly but not entirely among Friends, nurturing children, teens, adults, those who nurture young people, those in crisis or seeking the Light, local meetings, and anyone open to the spiritual wonder and teaching of bread making. 

Her talk was recorded August 3, 2025, at UMass Amherst at the Annual Sessions of New England Yearly Meeting.
