The church Nadiable Tweber founded is called the house for all sinners and saints. At six feet tall with spiky hair and a body covered in tattoos She is an original voice in a loosely defined movement called the emerging church across generations theologies and social passions. These are people reimagining Christianity. Nadiable Tweber was raised in the conservative Church of Christ. She spent years as an addict and a stand-up comic before being surprised by what felt like a call to be a minister to people on the underside of life. She created the house for all sinners and saints with eight people in her living room in Denver. These days convicted felons and elected officials joined teenagers with pink hair at this church and others like it. Redefining what church is and with a deep reference for tradition. I

really feel strongly that you have to be deeply rooted in tradition in order to innovate with integrity. So for example, we celebrate the Easter Vigil where you start with a new fire and you light it and you have this pascal candle and you parade in chanting and we have these baptisms and we have a Eucharist and it's like amazing and then we end it when it's done we have a huge dance party and we feel like nothing says he has risen like a chocolate fountain in the baptismal font, right? So we are taking these traditions and we're living them out and then we're tweaking them in ways that are super meaningful or funny or relevant for us. So it's always both for us.
