About J. Basil Dannebohm

Professional and personal biography can be found on The Dannebohm Dispatch website.) J. Basil Dannebohm is the Publisher of The Dannebohm Dispatch. He is perhaps best known for his sardonic observations of current events. All too acquainted with controversy and attacks, both secular and religious, he is sympathetic to those dismayed by the division and extremism that exists on all sides of modern \'civilized\' society. He found himself growing increasingly concerned that a dangerously self-serving and self-righteous storm was wreaking havoc on institutions that were once held sacred. He felt that society was rife with a blatant disregard for basic human dignity, a bastardization of the authentic gospel, a denial of basic truths, an abandonment of kindness and charity, an increase in violence, persecution, divisiveness, confusion, and despair. To continue on this path, he resolved, would inevitably lead to senseless civil wars and tragically misguided crusades. Dannebohm knew that voices of reason were few and far between at a time when they were most crucial. Aware of his limitations, dismayed by false accusations, personal attacks,\"gotcha\" journalism, and the \"circular firing squads\" that exist both in politics and religion, he had long since departed the limelight to embrace a more private life. However, he launched The Dannebohm Dispatch in 2022 as an outlet from which he could offer commentary rooted in the firm belief that calm minds and sound doctrine will always prevail. He hopes the website serves as a calm alternative to what he calls,\"divisive, narcissistic noise.\"
