"Here is an exhaustive roundup of Christian sites...The emphasis is on "alterna-tive" Christian resources. There are enough surprises to draw you in and keep you en-gaged for hours."
Thank you, Dallas Morning News, for making us your website of the week!

The collaborative book project is now available! Written in weeks and fea-turing Scot McKnight, Jo Guldi, Kester Brewin and plenty more (They even let yours truly, Mike, in. *blush*), all proceeds benefit the anti-slavery Not For Sale Campaign!

Thanks to a generous award from the Millennia Foundation, we are able to begin a much-need renovation of zoecarnate.com! We still have a ways to go, though, and we need your help. Your $3.00 donation will go a long way to help make us better than ever. Donate by clicking the link below or click here for more information. Thanks so much!

Welcome. You've just stepped into a bold new universe. It's the universe as it is, right underneath our noses. It is the universe as it could be, if we all get to know each other, started swapping ideas, and praying with each other. You've just stumbled into the Library of the Alternative Christian Web.

Picture, if you will, the most eclectic library on the planet. In here are venerated old tomes and exuberant new scribbles, on shelves that stretch up arced ceilings and into your living room. These "books" are created, down through the millennia, by mavericks and ne'er-do-wells like yourself: Rag-tag seekers who are desperate for the Spirit's stir-ring, to reveal the face of Father God in His beloved Son, Jesus the Christ. Mike Morrell and Philip Scriber (that's us) are your librarians. We've buried ourselves in these vol-umes and are at your service. More than a broad Google, search, we've scoured the Internet. for only the very best, and compiled these visual and audio treasures in a way that hopefully feels natural makes sense. Feel free to explore the lavish riches of the Lord with us, herein.
your brothers,

Mike Morrell and Philip Scriber

PS: Who are we? We are former roommates and alumni from Berry College and are part of a house church community in the Ra-leigh/Durham, NC, USA-area. Be in touch!

PPS: What has been in motion for five years (sparking a conference at Duke last year) is now being born in our midst! Namely, an intentional house church community in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area. Mike and Jasmin have moved, as well as around a dozen other denizens of the divine. If you're in the area and interested in hanging out with us some time, go here for more details. An article cov-ering our initial conference at Duke can be read here.

Special Note: Wanna start a revolution? Then let's all meet face to face! One awesome way to do this is through Meetup. Meetup is a really cool program/website that facilitates the gathering of like-minded people the planet over, in your hometown. You put yourself on, tell where you're from, and pick out one day a month for you all to get together. Below are the two meetups that we're part of. If every-one who visited this site signed on to one or both of these Meetups, we'd all be more connected. We could eat together, share ideas, and maybe even touch the manifest presence of God! Check them out:

And without further ado...

Do you think you need to be a status-quo "Republican" or "Democrat" or "Ignora-mus" when it comes to politics? Heck no! Support real, organic, Christ-honoring alterna-tives. Some of the best we've found are right here.

Pax Christi

Promoting the Peace of Christ in hearts and communities

Denominational Peace Fellowships

Now to our ears, "denomination" rhymes with "abomination;" We'll be happy when the post- denominational transition is complete and we'll no longer have to worry about the human-created institutions that divide sisters and brothers in Christ. But insofar as they're going to be with us for another decade or two, you should see what is going on in these denominations with regards to honoring Jesus, our Prince of Peace. A lot of the nitty-gritty work of creative, non-violent engagement with the powers is going on in these fellowships. Support them.

Consistently Pro-Life

What is "consistently pro-life," you might ask? Affirming life as God's gift in all situa-tions. Resisting the the culture of death affirmed in abortion, the death penalty, eutha-nasia, and war. Read on...

Christlike Compassion

Not For Sale

Despite popular belief, slavery is alive and well today--stronger than it's ever been. Nonetheless! Through heightened spiritual awareness and action, human trafficking could become a thing of the past. These friendships, coalitions and campaigns are on the front lines of bringing this dream for justice into reality.

Incredible, Edible Sites

Development

As we are called to be the church incarnated in community, many of us are realizing that there are practical as well as spiritual dimensions to being healthy community. Here are some of the best sites looking at community and economic development from a transformational perspective.

The Creation In Christ

Thankfully, the "disposable earth" mindset (that had more to do with Western con-sumerism than authentic Christian faith) is disappearing, as believers are realizing that whether Jesus is returning next Thursday or not, He wants us to cherish and steward His Creation. Here are some of the lamentably few folks who are offering Christ-centered reflection on environmental problems and solutions.
