Nadia Bolz-Weber Quotes
As a teenager, I began to question the Great Christian Sorting System. My gay friends in high school were kind and funny and loved me, so I suspected that my church had placed them in the wrong category... Injustices in the world needed to be addressed and not ignored.

But it turns out, I hadn't actually escaped the sorting system. I had just changed the labels.
