By Christian Piatt It took me ten years to come back to church after having a Bible tossed at me by a youth minister. I asked too many questions, it seems, and I challenged some literal interpretations of scripture he held. After that I was invited not to return. And I didn’t. Some of us, myself included, don’t consider ourselves “Christian material” at one time or another. Sometimes it comes from being raised in a secular environment or a painful... Read more

I had the privilege of attending graduation ceremonies at Church Divinity School of the Pacific. It was a beautiful event. Being a Presbyterian I had to face facts, the Episcopalians just do a better job at this sort of thing.

They pulled... Read more
