At the Honorary Danish Consulate in Los Angeles, Funen-born Danish pastor Anne-Grethe Krogh Nielsen, who first arrived in 2004, talks about being inclusive and visionary as she serves an international as well as locally diverse congregation in a cultural environment of multiple religions.

It’s a role that Anne-Grethe treasures, as it allows her to make connections with people from all over. And her image of God is definitely not a white man sitting in the sky with a long beard.
