An Autobiography of Erich's Adventures

1987 - Zion Lutheran

     I joined Zion soon after my arrival to Medford in October of 1987.  I was a member for three years until I left Oregon in August of 1990.  It was a very nice church and I enjoyed the warmth that the congregation provided.  Pastor Rodin was very helpful in educating me to appreciate my Swedish background in it's relationship to the Lutheran Church.  I appreciated his council.  I was baptised by him in this church.  The church is known for it's many beautiful glass windows.

     I would go and talk with Pastor Roden, quite frequently actually.  We would talk about theology mostly, sometimes members, issues in the church, etc.  He was a good man.  Most important to me is that “He was my friend.”  The day before I left Medford, I went to see him, to say my goodbyes.  He said he wanted to tell me something.  He said he considered me “his son”.  I told him, that I didn't really know what that meant.  He said he wanted me to stay.  I said my life isn't here, but I know it's out there, and I have to find it.  He handed me a book.  Then he said “Remember the Windows”!
