About Me
- Name: Richard Dahlstrom
- Location: Seattle
My name is Richard Dahlstrom, and I'm the Senior Pastor at Bethany Community Church in Seattle, WA. I've started this blog so that I can record my own thoughts about being a middle-aged pastor, in a great city, at the beginning of the 21st century. I've been at Bethany for over 10 years, and during this time, it seems that my entire theological world has been deconstructed, and recontructed again on the same foundation - with the end result feeling somewhat as if I've been through a squeezing machine, had some of the less essential elements removed, and came out on the other side feeling spacious, joyous, better able to love and enjoy all that life has to offer. The learning has come from all kinds of places: all kinds of books, music and art, the Bible, fellow pastors on staff, countless folk in our little flock, (an intergenerational lot consisting of lots of university students, and plenty of folk who remember where they were when Kennedy was shot) with whom I love to converse over good coffee, hikes and climbs in the Cascades, Colorado, Europe, my wife, my kids, and early mornings, again with good coffee, on the deck - quietly listening for the voice of the creator.

I love the end where the Germans argue the reality of being with Confucius.
hilarious.
I had a friend tell me that Monty Python was just a bunch of men dressing up as women, talking in falsetto with no real point to any of their jokes. Nonsense. They are some clever comedians.
