Alumni Link
My name is Will Hoyle and I am an Asbury Alumni from the class of 1997. I have been in full time Federal Prison Chaplaincy for the last 10 years. I regret that during my seminary education I did not look at all the avenues for ministry and that is was kind of “assumed” most would go into local church ministry. I think seminaries as a whole with the changing American landscape are becoming more open to new forms of ministry outside the local church. I wanted to pass on the most recent recruitment materials from the Central Office in Washington D.C. of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Locations are all over the country as on the first brochure. The Federal Correctional Complex Chaplains of Butner, N.C. are featured on the brochure.

Dear Will, My name is Rev. Wayne Meisel and although I did not graduate from Asbury, I have long admired it. I am hoping that you might contact me regarding the chaplaincy in the Federal Prison system. I direct the Center for Faith and Service at McCormick Seminary. My email is wmeisel@mccormick.edu
