Typically, Washington Post On Faith founder Sally Quinn touted tattooed progressive minister Nadia Bolz-Weber, the one who boasts about her new book Pastrix in an Amazon video: "the first word in the book is st.
Her book claims also include I wrote it for people who listen to This American Life" on NPR, and "I wrote it for people who know the difference between American cheese...and actual cheese." Quinn should have a tongue in her cheek as she finds it amazing, amazing that Reverend Nadia could draw 800 people to a service....after a major writeup as a alternative-Christian "superhero" in The Washington Post:
The following week, at Calvary Baptist Church, tattooed Lutheran pastor, weight lifter, stand-up comic, former alcoholic and drug addict and hard-swearing Nadia Bolz-Weber packed em in (more than 800 in an overflowing space) with her shockingly irreverent approach.
Bolz-Weber, who has referred to herself as the anti-pastor, read excerpts from her new book, Pastrix, pacing up and down in front of the altar in jeans, boots and a casual sweater, her tattoos exposed. Then she sat for an interview.
She had the crowd in the palm of her hand when she tampered with the microphone, referring to it as a spongy condom. She can be hysterically funny. She dropped several F-bombs and several times referred to bull excrement as she went along. Some people think clergy shouldnt swear, she said to the adoring crowd, but I think clergy shouldnt try to be something were not.
She talked about the nonsense spawned from bad religion, and she talked about an irreverent piece she wrote about Garrison Keillor to much hilarity and how so often the church represented corporate American values. She mocked the idea of church development.
I reject the premise, she said. We have no outreach strategy. Since she had no office, her office hours, she said, are in a coffee shop. But she is full of contradictions. She hates praise music, she said. We sing old hymns in church. I know its not cool. And she believes everyone should have equal opportunity to be uncomfortable in church. Shes gotten a call from Oprah.
So, to borrow from Reverend Nadias vernacular, this is bull excrement.This woman is all about the marketing and the calculated coolness, from the pop-culture and NPR references down to the tattoos and the cursing. You dont get to boast you have no outreach strategy when you have a book, an Amazon video, a church tour, and interviews with several Washington Post writers you had at Hello, you little st.
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28
I have met some of these fraud’s before.
Of course the left always loves these kinds of people.
Just another pitiful soul who does not know Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and falsely proclaims she represents Jesus Christ, all the while with both feet firmly planted in Hell.
In this day and age you can call anything Christian except that which actually is.
Hello, you little st.
I guess no one over there reads the Bible.
"Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving."
Ephesians 5:4
Modesty is more that a lack of cleavage. Something tells me those huge dark tattoos would be more offensive to God than jewelry and braided hair.
Why does this woman look so angry?
I used to think Satan was a red, scaly dragon with a bifurcated tail. Who knew that Satan was a foul-mouthed, tattooed woman?
