About The Heaven Tree Platform
What This Is:
Heaven Tree serves as a webring for men who're drawn to sincere Christianity and are interested in system administration. It also acts as a general discussion platform.
By men who're drawn to sincere Christianity, we mean those who seek duties and responsibilities such as abstaining from and repenting of sin, praying meditatively, following an intellectual tradition and above all else working towards or living out the vocation of husbandhood and fatherhood to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. With the additional interest in technology, this covers a narrow range of Eastern Orthodox, Catholics, and Protestants.
What It's Not:
- a self help group
- a Church
- a religious order
- a political organization
- a terminally online "community"
- a debate club
- an echo chamber
How Membership Works
Anyone can join the Heaven Tree platform given they have received an invitation from an existing member in real life or from the admin/owner. Cold-call requests for membership are treated with utmost caution because of infiltration concerns. Prepare for a conversational interview over mumble (link below) if you're in this camp.
