Guidelines
Be Christ-like
It’s a high call and we won’t ever achieve it, which is why part of being Christ-like is giving grace. When it comes to theology, Kingdom Builders puts it this way: "It is okay to have Theological debates and disagreements, but so long as we are united in our desire to meet unmet needs in the name of our Creator, let’s “think and let think” on the finer points as best we can."
You do not need to be a practicing Christian to join, but this is a Christian community, and many projects and conversations will include evangelism, Bible study, or other overtly Christian content.
Slack
Slack is a modern communication tool with support for multiple streams of conversation in different channels, private messaging, file sharing, and more.
It is free, which means it comes with some limitations. If you see something especially exciting, save it somewhere else because after 1,000 messages or so, things start to drop off
