Rev. Dr. Molly T. Marshall, described as a pioneering voice in theological education and advocate for gender justice within religious institutions, is featured in an interview this week on The State of Belief, a program hosted by Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush.
Marshall is entering her final year as president of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, a position she has held since 2022. During the interview, she reflects on her extensive career in ministry and academia, including her path to ordination within the Southern Baptist Convention during a period when that denomination began policies limiting women’s roles in leadership.
Throughout her career, Marshall has advocated for expanded religious perspectives and greater inclusion. She is a founding member of Baptist Women in Ministry and has authored influential theological works including “Joining the Dance: A Theology of the Spirit” and “What It Means to Be Human: Made in the Image of God.” She holds a PhD from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Marshall’s professional journey included surviving a threat of heresy proceedings and has evolved to encompass multifaith perspectives and advocacy for social inclusion. Her work spans both theological education and broader societal concerns. Raushenbush, who hosts the interview series, serves as President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance.
