Today we diverge from Methodism and reach across the communion table to our Lutheran sister, Emmy Kegler! Rev. Emmy is a pastor, author, and speaker called to ministry at the margins of the church, especially among LGBTQ+ Christians. She serves as pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Northeast Minneapolis, a small servant-hearted neighborhood congregation focused on feeding the hungry and community outreach. She is a co-leader of the Queer Grace Community, a group of LGBTQ+ Christians in the Twin Cities who meet for worship, Bible study, and fellowship. She is also the founder and editor of the Queer Grace Encyclopedia, a curated collection of online resources around LGBTQ life and faith. You can find her as a regular guest on “Cafeteria Christian” podcast. (FYI: Recorded in December, we reference Christmas!)
