Christian will be at PCCC on Wednesday Nov. 5  from 5:30 to 7 to talk about his new book postChristian: What’s Left? Can We Fix It? Do We Care? 

Fearless and provocative, postChristian offers a roadmap to the future of faith, beginning with an unflinching examination of the church today. Piatt examines the “seven scandals of Christianity”: pride, certainty, lust, greed, judgment, fear, and envy. Piatt writes that these vices have made Christianity “responsible for, or at least complicit in, some of the worst atrocities in history.” But he doesn’t advocate abandoning religion altogether, as he equally examines Christianity’s seven virtues—humility, faith, love, charity, mercy, courage, and justice. He writes, “There are few, if any, other places in our world that place such emphasis and value on interdependence, story, unity, hope, justice, and radical, selfless love.” 

He will speak for 45 minutes about his book with a 45 minutes Q&A afterwards.
