Pastor Nadia - Belsnickel - 11-16-2015 I've talked a little about my faith journey on here. I've found a home within Lutheranism, specifically the ELCA, and I felt an embrace like no other when first becoming a part of it all, just felt right to me. There is a pastor in the denomination that has become a bit of a rock star among some. Her name is Nadia Bolz-Weber, and she represents (IMO) what not just Lutheranism is all about, but what Christianity is all about. Anyway, I wanted to share a bit about her from this interview conducted on NPR. Just to share it with you all, whoever may be interested. Quote:Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber admits that she does not look — or act — like a typical church leader. Heavily tattooed and with a tendency to swear like a truck driver, Bolz-Weber was once a standup comic with a big drinking problem. There is more there, interview highlights. As well as the link to listen to the entire interview, which is about 37 minutes long. RE: Pastor Nadia - Vas Deferens - 11-16-2015 Really interesting Matt, I walk by that church all the time. Had no idea. You can tell she's thought about all these things at length. Particularly: Quote:"I would actually argue that conservative Christianity's obsession with controlling sexuality — I mean absolute obsession with it — has in fact created more unhealthy sexual behavior than it has ever prevented. I really believe that." BINGO RE: Pastor Nadia - Belsnickel - 11-16-2015 (11-16-2015, 05:23 PM)Vas Deferens Wrote: Really interesting Matt, I walk by that church all the time. Had no idea.
