Poor Chris! This is what he has to contend with from members of his own church.

Talk about "friendly fire".

In pursuing this further, I find that Chris Slgh is a "recovering fundie".

Chris expresses some deep thoughts here in rebuttal to his critics. It's worth a read.

I'm glad I read further, because now I understand more about Chris and his goals in life. He wants to serve God through music. A very fine purpose in life.

Now Chris goes to the top of my Idol list.
