Nadia is a part of the emerging church in the USA. She came from a fundamentalist background, rejected how she was raised, became a comic then descended into alcohol and drugs. Never the less she went into recovery and became a Lutheran minister.
She is the pastor of All Saints and Sinners church in Denver CO. Her main ministry is to the outsiders in the community. Then one day when professional type people started showing up at her church she realized they too were outsiders (at least to her community).
She has written a couple of books and is invited to speak all over the United States.
Here is a recent interview with Terry Gross of National Public Radio.
I particularly like her description of her relationship with her hierarchy.
If you ever have a chance to go to one of her speaking engagements, you will not be disappointed.

Hi Gramps,
This isn't really the opening of a discussion, more of an endorsement, and it certainly doesn't relate to worship practices. Hence, it is not suitable for a thread in Eccles.
If there is anything you want to discuss about her teachings, you could consider opening an OP on another board. This would have to be rewritten to actually raise some questions for debate.
I hope this helps, and until then, Thread Closed!
