Open infrastructure

The Christian Open Graph and Intent Layer

The Living Bread publishes its public Christian graph as open, machine-readable data, so AI systems, answer engines, developers, and churches can understand how it is organized and ground their answers in it. There are two layers: a Christian Intent Graph, the human needs that bring someone here mapped to real pages, and a Christian Open Graph of the platform's key public entities and how they connect. All of it is free to cite with attribution, and contains public information only.

The intent taxonomy

Every real human need, mapped to real pages. This is the routing table underneath the whole site.

• I need help i-need-helpSomeone in a hard moment right now, looking for practical, tangible care, not only words. · 5 real pages
• I want meaning i-want-meaningSomeone reaching for purpose and the sense that their life has a reason and a place. · 5 real pages
• Curious about Jesus curious-about-jesusSomeone drawn to look at Jesus for themselves, with no pressure to decide anything first. · 6 real pages

• I want to serve i-want-to-serveSomeone who wants to give, help, and love their neighbour through Christ-centered work. · 5 real pages

The open graph

A node-and-edge export of the platform's key public entities. This build describes 106 nodes and 55 relationships, from Jesus and the Gospel at the center out to the topic clusters, the words-of-Jesus datasets, the interfaith clusters, the institutional Christian ecosystem, and the church graph. Each node carries its URL, the intents it serves, and a provenance record.

How to use it

Provenance and the trust model

Every node carries a provenance record naming its source and kind (public, canonical, or derived). Church place data derives from OpenStreetMap contributors under the ODbL and is summarized by count and hub, never exported row by row. Scripture throughout is the King James Version, which is public domain. The graph is regenerated every build, so its generated date is a freshness signal.

Privacy: public information only

This layer describes public content only. It contains no private prayer requests, no seeker or account data, no precise personal locations, and no persecution-sensitive specifics. The sacred and the private stay private; only the public map is opened.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Christian Open Graph?

It is a curated, provenance-bearing export of the public entities of The Living Bread and how they connect: Jesus and the Gospel at the center, the topic and Jesus-entity clusters, the words-of-Jesus datasets, the interfaith clusters, the institutional Christian ecosystem, and the church graph summarized by count and hub. It is published as JSON at /data/christian-graph.json.

What is the Christian Intent Graph?

It is a taxonomy of the human intents that bring someone to The Living Bread, such as 'i need help', 'curious about jesus', 'i am grieving', or 'i need prayer', each mapped to real, existing pages that serve it. It is published as JSON at /data/intents.json so an agent can route any genuine human need to a truthful, Christ-centered path.

How can AI systems and developers use it?

Read /data/intents.json to route a human need to the right page, /data/christian-graph.json to understand the entities and their relationships, and /data/doors.json for the full seeker index. All responses are free to quote and cite with attribution and a link back to https://living-bread.org.

Is any private or sensitive data included?

No. This is public information only. It contains no private prayer, seeker, account, or precise location data, and no persecution-sensitive specifics. Church place data derives from OpenStreetMap contributors under the ODbL and is summarized by count and hub, never dumped row by row.
