Profile Information
- Location:
- Minneapolis, MN
- About Me:
- Mark Van Steenwyk is a member of Missio Dei (Missio Dei is an Anabaptist intentional community anchored in the West Bank of Minneapolis that pursues Jesus’ way of simplicity, prayer, hospitality, and peace). Mark is a writer, speaker, and grassroots educator (which means that he tries to mess with people’s thinking, but he usually does this outside of an institutional setting…though he has done some adjunct work with Bethel University).
He is also the general editor of Jesus Manifesto, a radical Christian webzine exploring what it means to follow the way of Jesus in the Empire.
He also conspires with emerging Anabaptists (and anabaptistic emergents) through Submergent, a network of leaders who, informed by an Anabaptist vision, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
He and his wife Amy have been married since 1997. They, along with their son Jonas, live with a random assortment of friends in South Minneapolis.

Starting a Christarchy! Group: A Basic Primer
The only centralized piece to Christarchy! is this website. Our hope is
that you’ll experiment and find your own way to pursue Jesus’ radical
path. So, while we want to avoid a cookie-cutter approach, we do think
it is helpful to give some suggestions on how to get a group started.
Below are some things that may help you get started.
1. You’ll need an organizer or two.
2. A few people (or more) to form a core.
3. In your first meeting, it may be good to share the… Continue

Welcome to the new Christarchy!
Christarchy! has just evolved from a wordpress blog to a full social network site. More groups will be starting in 2008, and we wanted to create a flexible way for the various people in the various groups to share their experiences in following the way of Jesus.
Take a look around, and you'll see:
- A forums section where you can ask questions and share wisdom.
- A groups section where people from your Christarchy! group can communicate. If you aren't a part of a group …
