If you haven’t yet made the acquaintance of Nadia Bolz-Weber, pastor of the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, and author of Pastrix, here’s your chance. CNN interviewed her yesterday morning on Newday. You’ll have to sit through an advertisement, but it’s worth it.
What do you think makes Bolz-Weber’s church so attractive?
The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.

I think what makes her church so attractive is that it is open, accepting, not condescending to the outsider (whoever/whatever that may mean), and is clear about what it believes about Jesus.

Never have crawls and b-roll and other “value added” elements of the cable TV interview format seemed more silly. Or more distracting.
