The current study aims to examine the interchangeable space configurations and identities produced by the emerging underground Christian movement. Situated within a broader field - in which it is bound to evangelists and young persons from other aesthetic affinity network the movement combines different clusters and religious manifestations. These cultural identitary representations regardless their visual, musical, ritualistic and bible doctrine distinctions are linked by one reason, which is, in fact, one ideal: bringing Christ to all urban juvenile cultures that are historically, a target of neglect and prejudice from catholic traditional churches or protestant parties. Therefore, they compose sacred heterotopias which reveal the new identifying, affiliation and religious ritual trends as well as the new commitment practices made by these subversive young persons. Guided by the community militancy idea, they symbolically fight against the institutionalism, the wild marketing and the impersonal aura that dominate the current Christian scenario. Thus, they look for answers through culture ways towards turmoil, radicalisms and other post-secular New Era disturbances, where the sacred Geography is inherent to individuals and where territoriality does not limit itself to the ecclesiastical authorities and temples. Using this sort of panorama, allows comprehending how emerging Christians arrange symbolic itineraries and religious places in order to simultaneously refurnish faith and reach the world s captive.
