Stacy Boorn is pastor and lead priestess at herchurch in San Francisco. The community is a Goddess-centered liturgical and programmatic group still holding membership in the ELCA. "We do so to provide a threshold and pathway for those trying to leave forms of patriarchal religion in general but have not yet found a new path."

Part of Pastor Stacy's role is to help others lift up their gifts, arts, skills and voice in engaging and reclaiming Goddess traditions. Although she orchestrates the liturgical gatherings at herchurch, many other artists, poets, musicians and individuals also participate and bring their own understanding of Goddess spirituality to the rituals and various classes they lead.

As an artist, recently with priestesses Jenifer Mantle and Katie Ketchum and others, she has embarked on a journey of creating "her-icons" (images of Goddesses and other holy woman, often with a new twist). This also includes a series 12 paintings of the Christ-Sophia.

As an ordained pastor for nearly 36 years, her experience with traditional formats for interpreting holy words and ritual have been re-worked to reach back to the times of the Goddess and move into Goddess' future.
