The ooze.com

The Ooze.Com is a Christian website which draws 150,000 unique monthly visitors from 90 countries. The site is self-designed and maintained by Christian author and former pastor at the 10,000-member Mariner's Church, Spencer Burke, who launched the magazine from Spencer's garage.[1]

Ooze writers reflect changes in global church culture, offering commentary that doesn't stop short of critique. This has earned the site a controversial reputation amongst Christian leaders and extensive news coverage, including reports by the Toledo Blade,[2] Miami Herald[3], the Los Angeles Times,[4] Christian Science Monitor,[5] the South Florida Sun Sentinel[6] and the Seattle Post Intelligencer [7]

Visitors can comment on articles and attend the annual Ooze event, called Soularize.

  • A Heretics Guide to Eternity by Spencer Burke
  • Out of the Ooze: Unlikely Love Letters to the Church from Beyond the Pew by Spencer and a number of contributing authors, including Alan Hartung, Bob Hyatt, Sarah Raymond Cunningham, Andrew Jones, John O'Keefe and Lisa Delay.
