Diaconia

Diaconia is another word for “caring for each other”. Diaconia is a word of Greek origin, which often appears in the Bible in its original sense, namely: serving God in caring for one’s fellow creatures. Today the expression is used for a Christian, social effort towards helping people whose lives are difficult.

With the Christian view of human nature as a basis, we are of the conviction that every human holds the possibility of change. Therefore we can believe, hope and act together with people who find that their possibilities have come to an end.
Diaconia is about humanity

* To meet people where they are.

* To see and create possibilities in what seems impossible.

* To find the time to talk with people - also when talking is difficult.

* To help people towards independence and self-worth.

Diaconia is about politics and protest

* To place human dignity in focus.

* To relate to the structures of society.

* To protest about unfair social conditions.

* To place professional knowledge beneath acts of humanity and Christian thinking.

Didact

The Didact was a Forerunner Promethean, who held an extremely high status in the Forerunner society as supreme commander of the entire Forerunner military. He wholeheartedly believed in the "Mantle of Responsibility" the Forerunners held to protect life, and initially opposed the Halo Array as a sin beyond measure. He was also the lover and husband of the Librarian, and the one who eventually activated the Halo Array. Although he was abandoned in a Flood-infested system by the former Master Builder Faber, he lived on by implanting his consciousness within a young Builder known as Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting. He believed the Mantle of Responsibility should belong to the Forerunners alone and saw humanity as a threat rather than the successors that most other Forerunners saw them as.
