“Lynn” is currently an active pastor and an atheist. Lynn is a member of The Clergy Project as one of the small but growing number of female clergy. Lynn is a current participant in the 2nd phase of the Daniel Dennet/Linda LaScola study sponsored by Tufts University and The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science on Pastors who no Longer Believe. Lynn has been featured along with Dan Barker on The Thinking Atheist’s Radio Show entitled, “Pastors Who Believe” and in the RDFRS article on The Clergy Project.
One other interesting note about Lynn… Lynn is the Agnostic Pastor.
