Tattooed, angry, profane—an altogether unlikely cleric—this former standup comic stubbornly, sometimes hilariously, resists the God she feels called to serve. Yet we watch as, in her doubts and her disasters, she keeps “stumbling into holy moments” which break through her resistance and sweep her up in transforming relationships where giving, receiving, even embodying grace becomes a way of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs her dramatic stories unfold, we begin to sense that just such holy moments are waiting for each of us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a time when many have rightly become disillusioned with Christianity, \u003ci\u003eAccidental Saints\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates what happens when ordinary people meet to share bread and wine, struggle with scripture, and tell the truth about their real lives.
