About Project Diktuon » Project diktuon

An update on the frontpage. Added some more info. I’m afraid I’m still miscommunicating many things.

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

Diktuon is the Greek word for net. It’s used e.g. in Matthews 13:47:

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 fishes in this parable stand for people. The net pulls the fish closer to to God and closer to each other. Then they become nutrition. And that’s what Diktuon is all about.

As Christians we are bound to Christ. And In Christ we are bound to one another. Yet we may not know about each other. This is what Project Diktuon tries to address.

The idea of Project Diktuon is to create a critical density – critically many critically high-quality Christians connecting to each other critically much – and see what happens.

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 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.

While this network is essentially about individual people being in contact with individual people, Diktuon itself is a totality. It can only be grasped from it’s knots, or nodes: individual people. Thus building the network is essentially building these relationships.

To build this inherently social network, Project Diktuon has the following goals:

Seek people of God and bring them together.

Establish a strong community.

Create critical density of these people.

See what happens.

The idea is that you get to do it. For your part.

Two communities

Actually my plan is to create two communities. One half open and one fully closed. Both of them working on an invite only manner. I start by working on the open community, which for all people who commit to these values. Basically I think that would be all Christians. However there are some Christians that are should not join.

If you are not ready to face fellow Christians as people, with no roles on either side, this is not for you.

If your own denomination is so dear to you, that it prevents you from unity with other Christians, this is not for you.

If you do not want to do the will of God or want to do something that is not His will, this is not your place.

If you find you want to argue or prove other people that you are right and they are wrong, this is not for you.

The second community is closed and with a lower profile. Technologically it lives in a different, more secure space, and can be detached from the more open community if need be.

Issues

Much needs to be done to achieve these goals. The most critical thing is finding the right people and getting them join. I trust in you to do that. However, the question is, who are the right people.

One of the most important parts of Diktuon.net is to establish a social networking site for this community. The most important thing in this is to find the right people. Second, clear community guidelines need to be established. Third, some technical issues need to be taken for, like security, scalability and extensibility.

The ideas on these pages are by no means final, but rather a starting point for discussion. Nor do I think they are comprehensive or theologically flawless, as I am not academically educated theolgian, but merely an attempt to communicate the basic idea of some basic and fundamental issues about Christianity.

Here are some tips on where to start reading:

The Dream speaks of the big picture, why I started this project.

Credo tries to communicate some basic toughts and values I believe the community should share.

The FAQ gives a good overview of What, Who, When, Where, How and Why

My personal blog

This Dikton.net is in alpha state. Some of of the relevant planned pages are still on the works. You can track additions on the blog.

Please give feedback and ask questions. I can give initial peeks to the workings for some people, but I really don’t want to let this loose until I am clearly communicating what this is about. I think I’m being unclear in many issues, so ask me that I could clarify.
