All Saints will have a guest preacher, The Rev. Kelley Hudlow, this Sunday, January 29th for our morning services.

The Rev. Kelley Hudlow is a preacher, storyteller, and occasional printmaker. She serves as the Canon for Vocations and Community Engagement for the Diocese of Alabama. In this role, Kelley works with people in formation for ordination and lay leaders, directs the diocesan local ministry school, and identifies and develops continuing education offerings for clergy. She also works to support our diocesan community ministries, including Sawyerville and racial healing pilgrimages. Prior to working for the church full time, Kelley was a trial attorney and a director of a legal clinic at The University of Alabama School of Law. She served as the Lead Documentarian for the Alabama state committee of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Currently, Kelley is an itinerant preacher, traveling to churches without regular clergy.

Kelley has a BA in History and a juris doctorate. Her more recent studies include a certificate from the David G. Buttrick Certificate Program in Homiletic Peer Coaching through Vanderbilt Divinity School, a Teach Leadership Certificate through the Kansas Leadership Center, and a Master of Arts in Theopoetics (focusing on writing and preaching) that is in progress through Bethany Theological Seminary.

Kelley lives in Avondale with her wife, Dr. Shanti Weiland (a poet and English professor) and their menagerie: Lucy (a beagle), Julien (an orange cat), and Brother Juniper (a corgi). You can follow Kelley’s travels at www.notoriouslyepiscopalian.com.
