Last updated on: July 22, 2013 at 6:41 pm By Christian Piatt

Following is excerpted from my more extensive Heretic’s Guide to the Bible weekly lectionary study. To read more or to subscribe, CLICK HERE, or on the banners above or below. When I was eight years old, I lost my first wallet. Aside from being a proud status of my pending membership in the “grown-up club,” it also had $10 inside of it.

Is Church Still a Curator of Culture?

Last updated on: July 18, 2013 at 12:42 pm By Christian Piatt

I was in a bar, meeting a few ministry friends for a drink when the banner ran across the TV screens in bold, red letters. The moment was particularly profound, since I’m not only in Florida, very near where Trayvon Martin lived and was killed, but I’m also attending a church convention which is sharing space with the annual NAACP gathering. Everyone in... Read more
