Notes:

• 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.
