DICDAL (DIGITAL CHURCH DIRECTORY AND LECTIONARY)

This is one of our most interesting technological innovations which was built to replace the physical booklet known as the Church Directory and Lectionary, which is a property of the Church that contains all the permitted details of all the verified ordained Priests and workers in a given Diocese or Church as well as all the Churches or Parishes under that given Diocese and then all the Institutions belonging to that same Diocese.

DICDAL 1.0 was officially launched in September, 2022 and was first introduced to The Nnewi Diocese Of The Anglican Communion under the leadership of His Lordship, Bishop Ndubuisi Obi., (Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Anglican Communion, Church of Nigeria).

Some of the functionalities of DICDAL includes;

  1. It serves as an authentic, verified and church-controlled source of info of all verified Priests, Churches, Institutions and Organizations under the Anglican communion.

2. It provides any verified ordained Priests with the right form of international exposure, therefore anyone can find and know more about our Priests via Google Search or any other search engine in the world and be able to connect or support their missionary works, as well as providing them with the means to document their life’s missionary works as seen in the Bible’s Acts of The Apostles and other servants or Prophets, which will be online and accessible even after the death of that Priest.

3. Our Priests can use this tech to write and document their life’s works as a Priest and Missionary, which will be accessible by anyone for life even after the death of that Priest and so it serves as a source of a verified Autobiography by the Priest, which anyone can make reference to during important activities such as  an Academic Research Work or just for Media Journalism.

4. Anyone around the globe can find and Connect with all the Churches & Institutions owned by a Diocese, which enables anyone on the globe to reach out and support their Home Churches and projects going on, pay their Tithes, Offerings or Donations, as well as contact any of the current Priests in their Home Church or any other under their Diocese.

5. The Diocese can also provide its members or congregations with current and vital info about all the ordained Priests in the Diocese as well as where they are being currently posted for church duty, likewise important details of those individual churches.

6. With just the scanning of a QrCode or entering of a ViciLink on a banner or a pamphlet, the Church members can quickly connect with the Priests, Workers and Churches in their own Diocese, which can be hung and displayed at the entrance of the Churches or the Church’s Secretariat.

7. With over 100 foundations in America and Europe that support local Churches in Africa, Vicilook DICDAL 1.0 provides these organizations with only VERIFIED Churches and Priests for their various support programs and Charity courses in fostering the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, thereby only Churches and Priests which have been properly scrutinized and verified by their Diocese will be displayed on the global platform and given an opportunity to be reached out to by any Charity organization out there.

8. In a world today where the digital world has dominated the physical world, where anyone can pose to be an Ordained Priest from a known Church Denomination, Diocese or Parish, either in the physical world or digital world, there is a need to provide the general public with a digital tool and openly accessible online platform where anyone from any part of the globe can see all verified priests, individually connected to their various Diocese or Church denominations, just with the click of a button on their mobile devices connected to the internet, in order to drastically reduce or eliminate scams and online frauds.

9. This tech also gives the Priests the capacity to publish, broadcast and monetize their Christian media content such Books and Audio Messages, as the Priest deems fit or need to, thereby serving as a means of support and growth for that Priest.

10. Via the ‘Support Me’ button on each of the Priest’s page, anyone from any part of the world using any kind of currency, can support the missionary works of our Priests without limitation or boundaries.

11. Any Diocese using this tech can have their Parishes advertise their Church Events and Projects (that can attract local or international supports) in a very Data Driven way, whereby they are able to track the progress of the advert and see how many people have seen the advert and therefore know how to make preparations for that event and thereby attracting more members to their congregation.

12. A Diocese using this tech can easily save money on so many forms of Print materials and also join in saving our planet by minimizing the number of Carbon Footprint they leave as well as save our trees and our God given planet in whole, which would be a great and remarkable impact to the Earth and its inhabitants.
