Who is working, and who works together

Organizations sit in the Declaration’s four areas of contribution. Lines join organizations that took part in the same public event; bigger circles share events with more organizations. Attending an event is not treated as a partnership.

2 Spot the gaps

Where the field does not yet meet

Network analysis of organizations and events, never of individuals, shows a convener where to act: who is isolated, who joins communities that rarely meet, and which areas are crowded or empty.

Organizations on islands

5 groups have never shared a public event with the main network of 20. Every one of them is outside North America and Europe.

Bridges between communities

Organizations whose shared events reach all four areas and at least four other traditions. They are where a convener can join communities that rarely meet.

Connections at the biggest hub

A few hubs hold the network together. Knowing which ones, and what they connect, shows where coordination would travel furthest.

Crowded and empty: who works on each question

Number of organizations in each area that say they work on each question. Empty cells are where no one in this sample is working.

Being human was raised at 11 gatherings and has 6 thought-leadership organizations working on it, but no research group. A clear opening for new work.

3 Follow the questions

From recurring concern to real work

The same questions return at gathering after gathering. The Atlas shows which ones have turned into research, funding, policy or products, and which are still waiting.

Raised again and again, not yet turned into work: Being human (11 gatherings), Truthfulness (4 gatherings), Work and dignity (3 gatherings).

4 Find your place

Many gifts, one shared responsibility

The Atlas begins with Many Gifts, Shared Responsibility, a declaration calling people of faith to put their gifts to work on how AI is built. It carries that idea to the whole field: everyone has something to contribute, across research, community, capital and public leadership.

The contributor map lets anyone find where their gifts fit, see whose asks they could answer, and choose one concrete next step. People appear only if they choose to.

Built to be trusted

Open by design, with one accountable steward

Consent first. No one appears as a person without choosing to, and anyone can correct or withdraw their entry.
No assumptions about faith. Tradition is recorded only where an organization states it publicly, or a person chooses to share it.
Evidence, not reputation. Every record shows its source and when it was last checked. Attending an event is never treated as a relationship.
Gaps, not rankings. Network analysis describes organizations and events. It never ranks individuals.
Open code, free to use. Anyone can inspect the code and data standard, and other maps can connect instead of duplicating.
Not for sale. Funding cannot buy placement, favourable treatment or editorial influence.
