Susan Sparks Joins Interfaith Comedy Team to Open the RCCongress 2010 Opening in Chicago, April 7 - 10, 2010

A Baptist preacher and former lawyer in New York

Trained as a trial lawyer, then a stand up comedian, and finally as an ordained minister and preacher, Susan is a unique motivational speaker specializing in the healing power of humor.

Her unique message draws from a range of experiences. Susan has traveled from the Arctic Circle to the Cape of Good Hope, run a dog sled team, sung country music in Nashville, worked with Mother Teresa's mission in Calcutta, trained as both a wilderness guide and a fly fisherwoman and ridden across the country on a Harley. She is also a recent cancer survivor.

Currently, the Senior Pastor of the historic Madison Avenue Baptist Church in New York City (and the first woman in its 160 year history) Susan has been featured on such networks as ABC, PBS and CNN, as a regular guest with country music star Naomi Judd on "Naomi's New Morning" on Hallmark Channel, in the NY Times and USA Today, and in numerous comedy clubs, including Carolines Comedy Club in New York City.
