+## Mission
+To proclaim the Gospel as it applies to technological development to:
+- those of the faith who happen to be in engineering, who need guidance on how to have their work radically transformed by Jesus Christ
+- those not of the faith who see problems with technology in our society, so that their eyes may be opened to the Church's vision.
+... with a particular emphasis on the academic sphere where there is room for these ideas to be discussed and seep in.
+
+## How?
+A zine, featuring:
+1. Sections and tracts lifted from established authors, preferably those in full communion with the Church (Aquinas, Schumacher, etc.)
+2. Articles written expressly for the zine
+3. Stories from the field
+4. Artwork and diagrams (Ade Bethune's work comes to mind)
