The Ooze (website)
The Ooze was a Christian website. The site was 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 his garage.[1]
Ooze writers reflected changes in global church culture, offering commentary and critique. This earned the site a controversial reputation amongst Christian leaders[specify] 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]
