Hello readers,<\/p>\n

My name is Denika Anderson, and I\u2019m a recent addition to the EV blog. In the interests of making my often-jumbled thoughts comprehensible and my origins clear, I\u2019ve decided to briefly locate myself, theologically and otherwise.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I am female.<\/li>\n
  2. I am twenty years of age.<\/li>\n
  3. I am of European descent and am a citizen of the United States.<\/li>\n
  4. I am straight and married. (Additionally: to an amazing man.)<\/li>\n
  5. I am theologically progressive.<\/li>\n
  6. I vote Green.<\/li>\n
  7. I come out of the Lutheran tradition, but went to a Baptist university. I\u2019m going to a Lutheran seminary, though, so they reeled me back in.<\/li>\n
  8. I majored in Bible and Theology, and am just starting my M.Div.<\/li>\n
  9. I am a youth pastor (at an American Baptist church).<\/li>\n
  10. I write with pro-GLBT, pro-gender equality, pro-social and -environmental justice, pro-science, nonviolent, non-inerrantist, process\/open theist, pluralist, and moral relativist assumptions, among others that I\u2019m sure I\u2019m forgetting.<\/li>\n
  11. I also have a personal blog.<\/a> Please visit me there as well because I base my self-worth on my stats page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I\u2019ll begin producing real content shortly, I promise.<\/p>\n

    With love,<\/p>\n
