It’s bad enough when Christians sit silently by while LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) folks are marginalized, ridiculed, abused, raped or even killed for who they are. It’s another when Christians actively engage in the exclusion of people … Continue reading →

Evangelical 2.0: The Deception of Driscoll’s Acts 29 Network

damienstribe@yahoo.com (Christian Piatt) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:29:37 +0000

I’ve written quite a bit about churches like Mark Driscoll’s Mars Hill and the concerns I have about a lack of accountability, given that they’re not part of a denomination or other larger body of oversight. Churches led my ministers … Continue reading →

Mules, Sex and Rick Santorum

Sh*t Emergent Christians Say

damienstribe@yahoo.com (Christian Piatt) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:59:39 +0000

Dust In the Wind: A Lenten Tribute (Fashion FAIL)

A ruffled-tuxedo, big-fro, cho-mo, super-bangs reminder of what Ash Wednesday is all about. I actually did this song with Michael Collins, an old friend of mine, at a high school talent show, but there’s NO WAY we were this awesome. … Continue reading →

My Boy’s Legacy of Obsessive Behavior

damienstribe@yahoo.com (Christian Piatt) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:50:43 +0000

I write about Mattias a lot. There’s plenty of material there. It’s become particularly interesting since we’ve discovered in the past year that he has Asperger Syndrome. We’ve also realized, though non-medically, that I most likely have many or all … Continue reading →

damienstribe@yahoo.com (Christian Piatt) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:50:09 +0000

I’m always fascinated by issues of free speech and what should be within the reach of government authority, especially as a writer, but also as one who leans toward civil libertarianism. So when the recent matter emerged involving people claiming … Continue reading →

My Most Recent Video Project (Water 2012)

damienstribe@yahoo.com (Christian Piatt) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:30:10 +0000

This really has nothing directly to do with theology or family, though its message of resource awareness and conservation certainly aligns with my feelings on environmental stewardship. Anyway, this is a project I worked on recently for an organization in … Continue reading →
