Many hits on my blog come from people searching for information about American Idol contestant Chris Sligh.
Here are a few bits of information.
1. Chris Sligh is not a Mormon. He is a member of a liberal non denominational
megachurch that practices charismanic. His pastor, Chris Surratt, is totally supportive of a career in Rock Music for Chris Sligh and claims to have
helped Chris plan strategy. Surratt states in his 'church planting' blog, "I always knew that it was just a matter of time before [Chris Sligh] was "discovered", but this is freakin' ridiculous!"
2. Chris Sligh is the son of Chuck and Susan Sligh,
Independent Baptist missionaries. (Not Southern Baptist.)
3. His grandfather was also an Independent Baptist preacher and
his grandmother had a good testimony among the faithful.
4. He looks like his mother when his hair is long.
5. At one point Chris had short hair, and he looked more like his dad.
6.
Chris Sligh is not a fan of fundamentalist Christians.
7. Chris Sligh is married. His wife is Sarah Sligh.
9. Strangely enough, Catholic members of Freerepublic are claiming that Chris Sligh's mother and father are members of a cult. Nothing could be further from the truth!!!!!

From Chris Sligh's blog
"At home, my parents had discovered the records of a Christian recording artist who called himself Patch the Pirate. Basically, Patch would record a batch of Christian songs and form a play around it, complete with dialogue and a batch of memorable characters. As a kid, I thought that Patch the Pirate was the coolest thing ever and I learned every word to every song, as well as most of the dialogue from the plays."(Chris Sligh)
