About The Heaven Tree Platform
Through a tree we were enslaved, and through the holy Cross have we been set free.Our Mission
Heaven Tree serves to proclaim Christ is King on the world wide web. It's for men who take the teachings of Christ seriously and share a common appreciation in the outdoors (hunting, fishing, hiking) and technology (open source software, system administration, programming and more). The second end to our mission is to organize these men locally and nationally, through retreats, outdoor recreation, and public demonstrations of Faith.
The men who belong here seek duties and responsibilities such as abstaining from goods, repenting of sin, praying meditatively, following an intellectual tradition and above all else working towards or living out the vocation of Holy Matrimony to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. With the additional interests in tech and outdoor recreation, this covers a niche grouping of well adjusted Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants from predominantly the United States as well as around the world.

How Membership Works
A member is defined as anyone who has been vetted and participates in any of the communication channels.
To become a member of Heaven Tree, you must receive 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.
