Speaking Engagements

Anna Madsen is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) with a doctorate in theology from the University of Regensburg, Germany. An accident that killed her husband and inflicted a traumatic brain injury on her then three year old son rearranged her family, her theology, her faith, her view of the world, and her vocation. With her experience, Anna has spoken around the country to synod assemblies, clergy convocations, lay learning conferences, and consultations for synods and congregations.

Consider inviting her to your next gathering!

Events and Endorsements

Endorsements

  • Since it was your first time gathering with the rostered leaders of our synod, there was sense of curiosity and anticipation about you and the message you would bring. I am delighted to say the rostered leaders are using words such as intelligent, thought-provoking, engaging, humorous, authentic and contextual to describe you and your presentations. Job well done, good and faithful servant! Already I am being asked, ‘when will Anna return?’ Thank you, thank you!

Anna's Mission

Anna seeks to provide a place and a way for people to think about--and to rethink--their theological beliefs: what they are, why they have them, and what differences they make. Whether by way of private conversation, congregational or synodical consultation, or large group presentations, Anna is eager to offer up insights from current religious research, theological traditions, knowledge from other disciplines, and information about your immediate context and life experiences. Drawing on all of these arenas, you will leave your time at OMG with an expanded way of thinking about your understanding of God, your faith, and your world. For clergy, continuing education time and budget can be used for scheduled consultations with Anna.
