===== Given your role in WSI (Community Cloud, sustainable development, etc.), here are some criteria to help decide whether and how WSI might partner with or adopt aspects of KI’s approach: ===== * Mission alignment: Does KI’s marketplace ministry align with WSI’s values (community sustainability, exchange systems, service to unmet needs) in a way that complements rather than conflicts? * Theological clarity: Confirm that KI holds to orthodox Christian doctrine (Trinity, Christ’s atonement, salvation by grace) and that the marketplace focus is secondary to discipleship and church mission. * Transparency & accountability: How does KI structure governance, finances, and business-ministry ethics? Given your community cloud’s emphasis on responsible infrastructure and sustainable frameworks, you’ll want clarity on how marketplace ministries operate. * Practical integration: If WSI wishes to adopt or collaborate with KI’s “Sheep Nation” marketplace concept, define how this would work operationally (community micro-businesses? timebanking plus business? localizing marketplace ministry?) and ensure it doesn’t divert from or dilute WSI’s core purpose of community-asset building and SDG alignment. * Risk assessment: Evaluate potential risks (commercialization of faith, pressure for business growth as spiritual indicator, exclusivity of “Sheep Nation” identity) and ensure safeguards (clear values, community review, diversity of ministry expressions). If you like, I can prepare a detailed comparison (in English) of KI’s stated ministry model vs. key biblical texts (including Matthew 25, Parable of Talents, New Testament marketplace ethics) and also create a risk-benefit matrix for WSI to evaluate a partnership. Would you like me to do that?
