Nadia Bolz-Weber Quote

All the misguided harmful messages of my religious upbringing, I still cherish that I was raised in a family where things mattered. Our lives bore a continual inflection of faith. I belonged to a community that connected the events in our lives to the divine. We searched ancient scripture for meaning and guidance. We sang our hearts out. We called each other brother and sister. We belonged to each other. I learned that from the church of my past, and I bring all of it into the church of my present.
