JOY SEGAL

The Very Rev. D. Joy Segal came to ordination from a
very successful secular career which spanned over twenty years in
management positions. Over the years of her corporate career she
functioned as Systems Administrator, Controller, CFO, General Manager
and CEO, and, prior to leaving her career to pursue ordination, was
responsible for over 300 employees in a multi-million dollar
organization. She has found that her administrative and organizational
experience, mentoring skills, and teaching abilities, honed in her
corporate career, have proved invaluable in parish ministry, the
building up of lay leadership, and the understanding and facilitation of
team ministry. Joy was active in her home parish of All Hallows, Wyncote
for many years and it was within that community that she discerned her
call to ordination. She attended two years of seminary at Lutheran
Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and her final year at General
Theological Seminary in New York before being ordained to the diaconate
in June, 2001, and to the priesthood in June, 2002. Since then she has
served as Assistant Rector of Church of the Messiah, Gwynedd (2001-2003)
and Interim Rector of Trinity Buckingham (2003-2006) before accepting
the call to become the 25th Rector of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church in
Philadelphia, where she began her tenure on February 26, 2006.
