Great Find: Third Way Magazine
by Chris Lorensson on 29 October 2007 with
Somehow I stumbled upon this UK Christian Magazine, Third Way. I requested a sample copy, which I recommend you do as well. They have very good interviews, tend to focus on real-world issues such as environment and politics, but they also have great interviews with people such as Douglas Coupland and David Suchet– who are by no means ‘Christian’, as it were.
Here’s a list of some of the main interviews they’ve had. If you’re looking for a new type of Christian literature without all the pretence (and unnecessary Relevance, if you will ;-) , check out Third Way.

I hope they can be helpful to you, too. Some of these sites talk about actual ‘Meditation Groups’— as in Christians getting together to meditate. While I find this a cool idea, I have a hard time with corporate Christian anything— but that’s just a stigma of my own.

This is probably the best one I found, as it seems to be a bit more culturally relevant and I can certainly relate to it perhaps more than the others on this list, what with the dude on the front with tattoos and all. They have stuff about meditation and your body, how to meditation, what it means, even a 6-week outline on Christian Meditation.
