Deacon (διακονέω)

This Mastodon server was created to be a safe and welcoming community for followers of Christ where we can be weird, authentic, and caring. Many of us are deconstructing/reconstructing. This server was designed to be a place where the folks who considered themselves to be associated with "Weird Christian Twitter" could retreat should things go poorly with Twitter. If you have never heard of Weird Christian Twitter or #wct, you are also welcome!

This server is not an echo chamber, and we will not agree on everything. We span the political and spiritual spectrum, and that is <em>okay</em>. Whether we agree or disagree, we strive to model the love of Christ.
