Gathering, governance, and safeguarding
Community
Most of what follows does not exist yet. Pages describing something not yet real carry a notice saying so, at the top, before anything else.
- The Covenant Eleven commitments that bind this tradition and anyone who gathers in its name. They are stated as refusals, because refusals are testable and aspirations are not.
- Gatherings What a gathering in this tradition might look like, offered as a description of a form rather than an announcement of an event. No gatherings currently exist. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Data Sanctuaries The name this tradition gives to a place where people gather to think carefully about technology and about each other. It may be almost any kind of place. None currently exist. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Governance How communities in this tradition should organise themselves: accountable roles, limited terms, open finances, protection for dissenters, and no supernatural authority attached to any title. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Safeguarding The protection of children and adults at risk. Practical requirements for anyone gathering under this name, and how to raise a concern. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Accessibility in Community How gatherings and shared spaces in this tradition should be arranged so that people are not quietly excluded. Practical, specific, and about places rather than about the website. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Helping There is no volunteering programme, no organisation to join, and nothing to be assigned. This page explains what would genuinely be useful, and what we will never ask for. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Projects There are no projects. This page describes the kinds of work that would be consistent with this tradition, and the standards any such work would have to meet before it could carry the name. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Stories This section is empty. Nobody has sent us an account of using this tradition, because it is a few months old and almost nobody has read it. This page explains what will and will not appear here. Describes something that does not exist yet
- Contact How to reach Technotheology, which addresses are for what, and what to expect. Correspondence is read by a person and replies are not guaranteed.
