About Project Diktuon
Pulling the Fish Together
Frontpage

Project Diktuon is an effort to strengthen the network of mature Christians wanting to build the Kingdom of God in Europe.

That name comes from the New Testament. Diktuon is the Greek word for net. It is used e.g. in Matthews 13:47-48 (NIV):

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore.

The fish in this parable stand for people. The net pulls the fish closer to to God and closer to each other. And this is what Project Diktuon is about:

  1. Seek God’s people and bring them together.
  2. Create a critical density of these people.
  3. See what happens.

Critical density is different from the critical mass. It doesn’t have to be very much. It is having enough of high-quality material in a sufficiently small space. In this case it is having critically many critically high-quality Christians who are critically tightly connected to each other.

So Diktuon is essentially a social network of certain kind of people. While the network in itself is a totality, it can only be grasped from its knots, or nodes: the individual people. Thus, building the network is essentially building these relationships. Therefore Diktuon is about individual people being in touch with each other, and Project Diktuon about strengthening these existing relationships and building new ones.

I believe that when we earnestly seek God and His will and come together, He will let His creativity and power flow through us in countless ways. And I want to be advancing that. That’s what Project Diktuon is all about. And that’s why I created this site, Diktuon.net. Diktuon.net is an Internet platform to provide tools for unity, communication and co-operation for people, who are committed to build the Kingdom of God in Europe.

As I see it, three basic elements are needed for this. First, the people themselves. Second, the means for the people to communicate. Third, community contract, or the common values and policies to define who exactly should be involved and how to get along.
