Nadia Bolz-Weber quoted while on her book tour.
"I confess that I am a Christo-centric universalist. What that means to me is that, whatever God was accomplishing, especially on the cross, that Christological event, was for the restoration and redemption and reconciliation of all things and all people and all Creation – everyone. Whatever God was getting done there, that is for everyone. How God manages to play that out through other religions, other symbol systems, I will never understand. I have to allow for the idea that God is actually nimble enough and powerful enough and creative enough to do that.” - Nadia Bolz-Weber, quote is from this article.
"I looked Billy’s mother in the eyes and said that what I know for sure is that God is always present in love and in suffering. And that God was present both the moment Billy entered this world and the moment he left it, loving him back into the arms of his Creator." - Nadia Bolz-Weber, From her book, Accidental Saints. Page 110.
“When Christians really critique me for using salty language, I literally don’t give a shit.” - Nadia Bolz-Weber
From this article - http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/bringing-sin-back-into-church/402391/ “Sometimes I can be an asshole, but it’s almost as though I can hear Jesus saying ‘uh, that’s okay, it’s not that I, like, love you and claim you despite that. I love you and claim you because of that.’” - Nadia Bolz-Weber
From this article http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/bringing-sin-back-into-church/402391/ "Fuck. Everything in me was trying to protect myself, trying to preserve the little unscheduled time I had. In most cases, that's the right move. But not this time" - Nadia Bolz-Weber, from her book, Accidental Saints. Page 106.
"Here's why if you don't have a drag queen in your congregation you should get one...Because when we were talking about what's called stewardship, which is kind of the financial reality of our church and people giving and stuff, we were trying to figure out ways to encourage people to help fund the community they're part of, Stuart goes: 'Oh I know what we're going to do. We're going to get a T-Shirt and on the front it will say This Shit Ain't Free, and then on the back it's going to say So You Better Tithe, Bitches!' You see what I'm saying? It just makes church so much better." - Nadia Bolz-Weber (from this article)
