A Different Lens

People have been thinking about God forever. But, for a long time, only certain people’s voices were listened to, especially within Western Christianity. European men had a lot of good things to say (and some bad things!) But the voices of others were often silenced.

Once a Month Worship series

In our “Different Lens” worship, we listen to some of these voices once a month on the third Sunday.

In March, we meet Verlon Brown, a pastor at Central Lutheran in Seattle on Capital Hill. He also works with folks living on the streets of Seattle who are homeless and addicted. He likes to give me advise about men, and he also told me to never become a pastor (not because of who I am, but just because being a pastor didn’t seem like a good idea to him). Clearly I didn’t take his advice about men or vocation, but he has lots to say, and he is usually pretty humorous in giving his wisdom. He also plays harmonica in a blue-grass band, and he’s a long-time friend of JD Nelson, guitar player in Revealed!
