Conversation starts with mutual choice
An Intro is a short, contextual note. Ordinary messaging opens only after a mutual match, and the sending flow checks verification and an approved photo.
Care in the community
Blessed Union is designed for attention, mutual freedom, and a human pace. This page explains the safeguards available in the product today—not a promise that an app can replace discernment, trusted people, or urgent local help.
In the product today
An Intro is a short, contextual note. Ordinary messaging opens only after a mutual match, and the sending flow checks verification and an approved photo.
A member can close a mutual connection without calling the other person unsafe. Blocking remains available when a stronger boundary is needed; neither action requires an explanation to the other member.
Verified members can report concerning behaviour. A report is placed in the moderation queue, and the reported member is not shown the reporter’s identity.
Discovery uses a member’s chosen radius when approximate location is enabled, without returning stored coordinates. The visible location label is member-written, so members are asked to use only a city or broad region—never an exact address.
Keep perspective
We do not present verification, a profile, or a shared faith label as a guarantee of character or safety. For an immediate danger or emergency, contact local emergency services.
Following Jesus calls us to truthfulness, kindness and responsibility for how we treat others. That includes respecting a refusal, admitting when we are wrong, and acting on concerns. Prayer and forgiveness do not remove the need for boundaries or practical help.
