Vangie Rand: What the United Methodist Church Can Learn from Electronic Dance Music

Evangeline (Vangie) Rand grew up in an isolated logging town called Forks, WA. This intensified her curiosity for learning from diverse others. Rand taught English in Budapest, Hungary and later was a campus minister at the progressive The Evergreen State College in Olympia. Rand has written for the Postcolonial Theology Network. She is a barista at the Pike Place Market and is a lay pastor at Seattle’s oldest congregation, First United Methodist Church.
