"Here is an exhaustive roundup of Christian sites...The
emphasis is on "alternative" Christian resources. There are enough surprises
to draw you in and keep you engaged for hours." Wecome to Sites Unseen. We scour the Internet so you don't have to. On this rather unwieldy page are surprisingly well-organized connections for you – to bloggers worth reading, networks and movements making a difference, and churches that won’t make you have to go into therapy. Among other things. Sites Unseen was started nearly a decade ago by two college roommates dissatisfied by Christianity-as-usual, and looking to share a decidedly alternative take on what it means to be a friend of God in the way of Jesus. Since then, Mike has become an opti-mystic advocate of things indie and Jesusy, and Philip is, well, the worst atheist ever. They’ve lately been joined by Jonathan, who keeps them all in line. 10 years in, while many of the players of the alt.Christian milieu have changed, the focus of Sites Unseen remains the same: to provide off-the-beaten-path resources to the right-brained and left-out in Christ-shaped faith and spirituality; to share safe and generative resources for the faithful, seekers, doubters, and inquiring media types. Sites Unseen is not for everyone, but we do appeal to: emergents, missional folk, house/simple/organic churchers, contemplatives, progressives, grace junkies, new monastic communitarians, burned-out ministers, wide-eyed nonprofit and justice workers, Jesus Movement alumni, charismatics and Pentecostals who color outside the lines, pissed-off agnostics wondering if all Christians have lost their minds, alt.worship liturgical maestros, Integral map-makers, anarchists, free-thinkers, and anyone who asks questions and seeks a deeper connection to the Divine Mystery that – we sense and hope – undergirds us all. Pardon our dust. We’re hoping to renovate in a big way soon, pending a generous patron who will enable us to fully join the 21st century. In the meantime, you can donate toward our goal in whatever amount you’d like using the Paypal link below, if the Spirit so stirs in you. Whoever you are, welcome – to the 8,000-links meta-directory Sites Unseen!

Made of flawed people certainly, but working to overcome flawed premises. What is "decent" IOHO (In Our Humble Opinion)s? Well, a church where knowing Jesus is the central focus, where grace is lived and where authenticity is cherished. And, hopefully, where fully participatory body life and community can grow. We realize that this is a tall order and we certainly haven't visited all of these churches to be able to personally endorse them. However, we've been around the block a few times (putting in about 10 denominations between the two of us), so we've sifted through the ones that look like a nightmare even on the Web.

Post Church?As finding and forming faith continues to morph in the 21st century, we're becoming aware of a phenomenon that has always been with us: Christians, both passionate and puzzled, who are moving beyond existing church structures of any kind. Dubbed "basement church" and "subconscious church" by some and "de-churched" by others, here is a concise but significant collection of sites exploring this reality.

Don't get us wrong--we really love what most of these folks are doing. A few, however, seem to be just more marketing and "target audience" tools. (Don't worry. We're not talking about your site. Just that other guy's. :) ) We realize that this goes against the grain of the prevailing paradigm, but We don't need specially targeted and branded ministry! We need to love God and neighbor, to do justice, love mergy, and walk humbly with the divine. As a generation, in an unfolding mileu, we have crucial need for creative and visionary leadership.

Training/Apprenticeship SchoolsYou know, Jesus apprenticed twelve followers, Paul apprenticed six (Who were they? You might wonder. Click here for more info), and we still think that apprenticeship to Christ in a natural environment is the best way to raise up workers in the Reign of God. Of course, there are a lot of different perspectives and expectations concerning "spiritual education" and in any event, we've listed our favorite schools here. You'll notice that many of them are unaccredited, and even the ones that are are fairly unorthoprax in their structure. This is by design, and we feel you will get the most rewarding educational experience through such a venue.

Greig TheologyTheology, whew! I O.D.'d on its heady portents when part of one of the "brainier" denominations years back. The seemingly endless self-referential quality of it, and the pride and narrowness to which it was held, really turned me off from the pursuit altogether. In intervening years, I've realized that "theology" is not necessarily a dirty word. Its best definition is one offered by Henri Nouwen (who said in turn that it came from ancient Christian sources), meaning "union with God in prayer." If theology can have a contemplative dimension, and if it can be a bringing of people together for open discussion leading to Christ, our truth, I'm all for it. Here you will see theology sites of a dizzying array of perspectives, and some of the best sites, which deliberately foster dialogue on what it means to be part of the Story of God. So, don't overload your brain at the expense of your spirit, but, if you're of a mind to...enjoy.

Directory of Open Access Journals Over 2,000 journals available EschatologyI've resisted such a section for a long time because eschatology ("the study of last things") can be such a divisive--not to mention corny--subject. But when I see eschatology playing such a huge role in everything, from science to spirituality to global politics, I realize that a sane discourse about the Christian story's understanding of "the end" (and what comes after!) is so needed. It affects our image of God, what we drive, and how (even if!) we vote. So, don't expect this section to be a democracy; Please, don't submit your Left Behind fansites for consideration. :) I'll be hand-picking some sites that, while I may not be in 100% agreement with them, raise textual, contextual, and spiritual issues we need to face as we rethink last things and new beginnings for the 21st century.
