    “WHO AM I TO JUDGE” – THE POPE’S COMMENTS ON GAY PEOPLE (dilw.ie)
    Giving this post the old litmus test to see how admins vs mods handle this. Tread carefully :3 Nobody’s closer to Jesus in rank than the Pope.

    Does anyone else feel churches are pushing gendered Bible studies way too hard? (kbin.social)
    Maybe it’s because I was growing out of youth groups, but It seemed to me that coed Bible studies used to be more of the norm. Now all of a sudden we have men’s groups and women’s groups. And men’s groups are all about Bible, throwing axes and equating 400 pushups to mountain climb your way into heaven. And women’s…

    This Sunday, pray for missionaries that are overseas. (kbin.social)
    You can pray for missionaries in general (which is great), or you can ask your church about specific missionaries they support (which is also great).

    Tech difficulties meant worship was disorganised this morning, but 5 people were baptised in the sea so it was awesome…

    What are you grateful to God for today? (kbin.social)
    I’m feeling convicted about some sin I’ve been struggling with. Thankful that I can approach the throne of grace with confidence where I can find mercy, be freed from shame and cling to God’s strength as I seek to be holy. Praise Jesus for his love that has made this relationship possible…

    Ace Lifestyle? (kbin.social)
    I was reading the rules and it said “This community does not affirm practiced LGBTQ+ lifestyles, with the exception of the ace lifestyle in certain contexts.”, what is an “ace lifestyle”?

    What do you need prayer for? (kbin.social)
    There’s only a few of us right now, but we should pray for one another. What do you need prayer for?

    How important is love to Christianity? (kbin.social)
    Is love simply one of the attributes of God, one of the more important attributes of God, or is it the entirety of who God is?..

  • Wikipedia gets a lot of funding from billionaires and corporations. It’s not going to be easy for most instances to be funded entirely by user donations long term.

    Wikimedia Endowment
    In January 2016, the Foundation announced the creation of an endowment to safeguard its future.[93] The Wikimedia Endowment was established as a donor-advised fund at the Tides Foundation, with a stated goal to raise US$100 million in the next 10 years.[94] Craig Newmark was one of the initial donors, giving US$1 million.[95] Peter Baldwin and his wife, Lisbet Rausing, donated US$5 million to it in 2017.[96]

    In 2018, major donations to the endowment were received from Amazon and Facebook (US$1 million each) and George Soros (US$2 million).[97][98][99] In 2019, donations included US$2 million from Google,[100] US$3.5 million more from Baldwin and Rausing,[96] US$2.5 million more from Newmark,[101] and another US$1 million from Amazon in October 2019 and again in September 2020.[102][103]

    As of 2022, the advisory board consists of Jimmy Wales, Peter Baldwin, former Wikimedia Foundation Trustees Patricio Lorente and Phoebe Ayers, former Wikimedia Foundation Board Visitor Doron Weber of the Sloan Foundation, investor Annette Campbell-White, businessman Niels Christian Nielsen, and venture capitalist Michael Kim.

    The Foundation itself has provided annual grants of $5 million to its Endowment since 2016.[104] These amounts have been recorded as part of the Foundation’s “awards and grants” expenses.[105] In September 2021, the Foundation announced that the Wikimedia Endowment had reached its initial $100 million fundraising goal in June 2021, five years ahead of its initial target.[4]
