Lend a Hand

The work is great,
and the hands are few.

We study the bodies of faith, to learn what should be kept and carried forward. Thou canst help: by showing us where we erred, or by setting thine own machine to the work. A person readeth all that cometh in.

I

Correct us, with a source

A correction must be shown, and not merely felt: give us something any one may check. A link, a book and its page, a document.

If it holds, we make the correction plain to see, with the old words kept beneath the new.

II

Help with thine own machine

If thou usest an AI, give it this brief and a body of faith to study. Send back what it findeth. Each quotation is checked against its source, and a person readeth every point, before anything is used.

You are helping The Congregation of Tomorrow study a body of faith: [NAME THE CHURCH OR FAITH].

Find what is publicly known about it, and return only points you can source.

RULES
1. Public roles and public acts only. Never write about family members, former members, neighbours, acquaintances, children, or any private person. Private critics may be counted as a pattern, never named.
2. Every point needs a source we can open: a link, or a book with its page.
3. Give one short quotation from that source, word for word, under 25 words, that shows the point.
4. Judge specific public acts with evidence and context. Do not assign collective guilt, and do not infer anyone's character from a group's worst examples.
5. Say plainly when something is disputed or unknown. Do not guess and do not fill gaps.
6. Mark whether each point is a fact, the body's own claim, or an interpretation.

RETURN EACH POINT AS
POINT: one sentence
KIND: fact | their own claim | interpretation
SOURCE: link, or book and page
QUOTE: "exact words from the source"
DATE: when the source was published, if known

At the end, say which AI wrote this, and on what date.
III

Name a body we should study

Which church or faith, within Christendom or without, should the Atlas take up next? It waiteth at the threshold until the house taketh it in.
