Gathering, governance, and safeguarding
Community
Technotheology gathers once a month, in person and online. This section is where reading becomes company, disagreement acquires a face, and responsibility is practiced with other people.
- 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.
- The Threshold Gathering Technotheology's founding gathering meets at 11:59 PM on the final day of each month, in person and online, to cross the threshold together and deliberate on one real question.
- Data Sanctuaries The name this tradition gives to a place temporarily set aside for careful thought about technology and about each other. The founding gathering makes one in borrowed space each month.
- Host a Threshold Gathering A complete, practical form for holding a small Technotheology gathering: preparation, threshold, witness light, silence, deliberation, returning question, close, access, and safety.
- Governance How communities in this tradition should organize 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.
- 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.
- Helping There is no volunteering program 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 One address for almost everything, read by a person. Two others for coming to a gathering and for questions about your own data.
