Public School Cuts Run Deep

Last updated on: April 14, 2010 at 4:30 pm By Christian Piatt

Schools District 70 announced that, as of next year, it will be cutting back to four-day school weeks to try to balance the budget. Naturally, parents are concerned about the quality of their kids’ education, young ones taking the bus in the dark and what to do with the little buggers an extra day of the week when the rest of the world works. Many parents in Pueblo are barely making ends meet as it is, particularly in outlying areas covered by District 70, and the challenge of paying for an extra day of child care every week might be the difference between making the car payment and giving it up to the bank. Obviously, the schools are trying to save money, so to stay open just to babysit would make no sense, but what to do? Read more

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell…in Church?

Last updated on: April 9, 2010 at 8:25 pm By Christian Piatt

Lots of adjectives have been attached to my name in the past, but “provocative” is one that seems to keep sticking. As a writer of mainly theological material, it’s expected that I’ll use certain buzzwords and will avoid some topics that simply should not be talked about in polite company, let alone church. Sounds like a challenge. I like challenges. Enter the new book series I’m co-creating and editing for Chalice Press, called “Where’s the Faith?” The acronym by which the series is known is “WTF?,” a brief nod to the provocateur in me.

Milagro’s Easter Worship Service (Podcast)

Last updated on: April 5, 2010 at 10:34 pm By Christian Piatt

We have folks ask us all the time what worship is like at Milagro. And although we usually podcast Amy's sermons on the church podcast, we don't usually record the whole service. But since it was Easter, we decided to do the whole thing, edited down for time, and share it. Read more

When Social Marketing does more harm than good

Last updated on: March 31, 2010 at 9:19 pm By Christian Piatt

My wife, Amy and I were watching TV the other night, and a series of commercials came on that told me a lot about who the sponsors of the show thought I was. First, there was a Pepsi ad for this program they have where they give "grants" to people with good, community-changing ideas. Second was a Sun Chips commercial touting their new compostable packaging. I remarked to Amy about how prevalent this kind of social marketing had become, and did so with no small amount of disdain in my voice, I expect, based on the way she looked at me. Read more

Can Protestants be “too Catholic?”

Last updated on: March 29, 2010 at 5:52 pm By Christian Piatt

I posted a comment on my Facebook Page and Twitter Page recently about how it seems ironic to me that so many churches who focus on atonement theology (the idea that Jesus died for your sins as central to what they believe) seems to jump right past Holy Week and on to Easter. It seems to me that someone who preaches about and studies the death and suffering of Christ so much the rest of the year would have a field day emphasizing this central tenet of their beliefs on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. But most of the churches in town that I know focus on this kind of image of Jesus have had slogans like 'Christ is Risen!" on their signs for a couple of weeks already. Read more
