This has been a trying six months for Amy Piatt, senior minister at downtown First Christian Church. You might say one of her fundamental principles as a minister is being tested. She says her faith is being tested.
Piatt is among Portland's most politically active ministers. When she arrived at First Christian five years ago she began wearing an A-board sign in public that read, "As a Christian I am sorry for the narrow-minded, judgmental, deceptive, manipulative actions of those who denied rights and equality to so many in the name of God." Whether the cause be Muslin-focused immigration policies or gay marriage, she can be counted on to raise her voice for social justice.
