What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes confessions and belief traditions, the congregations and communities organized around them, and their practices: rites, observances, calendars and sites.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Confessions, congregations, practices
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because religious life combines a doctrinal taxonomy, community institutions and a practice calendar in a way no generic organization or event model covers, and because the data it touches (personal affiliation above all) carries the strongest subject-protection defaults in the catalogue.
What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Moral aspects Derived, awaiting review
- affiliationDisclosureConsent: per-person consent governing any visibility of affiliation data, grounded in S1
Owners Filled
Steward
The communities themselves steward their confession, congregation and practice data, with strong subject-protection defaults throughout.
Links to other meta-models Filled

- world.person - affiliation subjects and role holders are natural persons; affiliation is among the most protected personal facts
- world.buildingAndFacility - sacred sites resolve to places and structures of the built environment
- world.socialNorm - customs and observances entwined with religious practice are cross-linked to the norm and custom model
