A Different Voice with Dick Smythe
How often do we hear a critique of the church in America from:
A black pastor……Former drug dealer……Former sex worker……Former homeless queer teen……Former felon?

This morning we will hear from a Lutheran pastor who combines all these attributes. I believe we need to hear what he has to say.

Dick Smythe is an entomologist retired from the research division of the US Forest Service. Throughout his life he has maintained two dominant interests: first, his fascination with the natural world – our non-human environment and endless source of wonder; second, his abiding interest in religion/theology – a subject of continuing education and challenge.
