Click here 2013-07-07<——- to listen along.

Last updated on: July 1, 2013 at 11:37 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

(from the memorial service of Suzanne Harvey Lynch, June 30th, 2013 (what would have been her 79th birthday) at the Comedy Works, Greenwood Village, co) A couple months ago, I sat at the deathbed – or in this case, the death recliner of a woman dying of emphysema and needing a priest. I’m unclear if the fact that the priest was me was poetic or just ironic, since 20 years earlier it was this same woman, Suzanne Lynch who had... Read more

My “State of the House” address from tonight’s annual meeting

Last updated on: May 20, 2013 at 3:35 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

The State of the House. I say we take a second to think about this year together. There is so much to consider, so much to mourn, so much for which to be grateful to God and to one another.
