Circles are named trusted networks: a denomination, an association, a regional group, or a private set of churches. Publishing targets a circle by default — not the whole catalog. Members are churches, shown as community identities. There is no chat.
Circles list with your networks and a create action

​
Quick Start

  1. Open Community → Circles. An admin must have set Identity first.
  2. Create circle, or Accept an invite, or Request to join / Join from the directory.
  3. When you Publish a hymn, keep reach on Circles unless you intend the whole catalog.

How-to Guide

​
Create and invite

1

Create the circle

Choose a name, kind (denomination, association, region, or private group), and who can join (invite only, request, or open). Your church becomes the steward.
2

Invite churches

Open the circle → Invite a church. Search by the other church’s public catalog name (a generated pseudonym unless they opted in to their real name).
3

They accept

The invited church sees the invite on Circles and Accepts. You then see each other only as community identities — never a legal tenant name.
The last steward cannot leave. Archive is a later steward action if the network should close.

​
Publish to a circle

On Published → Publish a hymn, Who can discover this defaults to Circles when your church belongs to one. Pick the circles. All members lists it in the whole catalog. Private stays in your church only.
