The Rev. Emily Scott has pastored not one, but two new churches: St. Lydia’s Dinner Church in Brooklyn, and now The Church of Dreams and Visions in Baltimore. A Lutheran (ELCA) pastor, Emily believes that Christian practice holds out rich possibilities that call us to reach out across boundaries in love, to learn through discomfort, and to build relationships that bring God’s realm close.

Emily’s book, For All Who Hunger: Searching for Communion in a Shattered World, will be released on May 12.
