The Advent of Evolutionary Christianity comments:
"Are you frustrated with how the mainstream media portray the science and religion issue? It's as if the only two games in town were science-rejecting creationism and faith-rejecting atheism. But for the millions of us in the middle who see no conflict between faith and reason, heart and head, Jesus and Darwin, we know that's a false choice. Religious faith and practice can be positively strengthened by what God is revealing through science. See: http://www.evolutionarychristianity.com/

Christians Tired of Being Misrepresented: They suggest: "If you are frustrated with public figures or outspoken Christians who speak and act in ways that do not represent who Jesus Christ is (unconditional love, forgiveness, and an advocate to the rejected by society), join us as we challenge them in their lies and bigotry in a creative and constructive way.
