Fall 2005 -- The rowing team -- God's aunt -- Albion Babylon -- La femme Nadia -- Thanks, ELCA! -- Hurricanes and humiliation -- I didn't call you for this truth bullshit -- Clinical pastoral education -- Eunuchs and hermaphrodites -- Cotton candy -- Pirate Christian -- The Haitian Stations of the Cross -- Demons and snow angels -- Doormats and wrinkled vestments -- Ghosts in the Kingdom of Heaven -- Dirty fingernails -- The wrong kind of different -- He's a fuck-up, but he's our fuck-up -- Beer & hymns.
Summary: Bolz-Weber reclaims the term "pastrix," used by some Christians who refuse to recognize female pastors. Heavily tattooed and loud-mouthed, a former stand-up comic, Bolz-Weber sure as hell didn't consider herself to be religious leader material-- until the day she ended up leading a friend's funeral, surrounded by fellow alcoholics, depressives, and cynics. She realized: these were her people. Maybe she was meant to be their pastor.
