About Christine Anne Piesyk

With 40 years behind me (Huh? What? How did that happen?) as a journalist, feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, and film/theater/arts critic, I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago. having completed a midlife undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts. I am currently an MFA student at Goddard College. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and an issue-specific commission for the City of Northampton, MA, and did minor undergraduate work in studies in urban planning and community development. I am a community volunteer and a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, classical music junkie; I also and design and make sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I have an unquenchable interest in just about everything. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure, with the best things still to come.

I can’t wait to see the Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Unitarian Universalist, Buddhist, Islamic, Baha’i, Wiccan, and other religion themed events at the park this holiday season as well. Or has the city forgotten that this is not a Christian city, just as America is not a Christian nation. It is a nation which just happens to have some of its citizens who happen to be Christian.
Love it, or hate it, but the separation of Church and State and the absolute freedom to worship as YOU see fit, that it gives, made the United States the great nation that it is today.
