Assessment
House for All Sinners and Saints was founded by Nadia Bolz-Weber and is probably the single most visible example of a "queer-centered, post-evangelical, liturgical" ELCA church plant. Bolz-Weber has publicly redefined traditional sexual ethics and championed positions like "ethical pornography"; the ELCA is fully affirming. The theology is openly revisionist on sexuality, gender, and ecclesiology.
