Emily M.D. Scott was the founding pastor of St. Lydia's, a progressive congregation in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where worship takes place around the dinner table. Scott trained as a liturgist and musician at Yale Divinity School and the Institute of Sacred Music, and was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Previously, she served as the director of worship at the Riverside Church. After eight years at St Lydia's, Emily is now creating a new church community, Dreams and Visions, in Baltimore, Maryland.
