Lectio Divina Notebook Blog
|
| Purpose |
To develop a system where individuals or groups can create their own Lectio notebook online and allow others to
share and comment. The user will have the ability to decide who can see their notebook (everyone or a group).
A user looking at the system will be able to see the Scriptures in a top portion and then see highlighted words
which others have done Lectio. They can then view the Lectio entry of that person, if they desire. The viewer
will have the option of which user's notebooks they want to view. The Scriptures will have links to commentaries
and other useful documents which will help doing Lectio. |
| Mission Relevance |
Allows God to reveal Himself through the Scriptures using Lectio Divina, community and Christian commentaries |

Mercy Guardian
|
| Purpose |
A electronic device which would rate television programs by a
subscription to a 'rating provider'. This would allow individuals to select
a 'rating provider' who they trusted to rate their television programs. For
example you could have a Catholic rating provider or a Christian Homeschooling
rating provider or a USCCB rating provider, ... .
This would require an open protocol which
anyone could use to provide content to the device and of course the device could
select the level of censorship. |

Allow those items are hindering our hearing the revelation of God to be eliminated from our midst |
