# NAR Beginner Entrance — Project Index
Project goal: one beginner-friendly entrance page that helps a distressed reader (parent, spouse, friend, questioning member) understand the New Apostolic Reformation, evaluate a church, recognize risks, and talk with someone they love — grounded in vault evidence.
**Deliverable (live):** [[start-here-new-apostolic-reformation|Concerned About the New Apostolic Reformation? Start Here]] — placed in the theology wiki (`1. Projects/llm-wiki-theology/wiki/`), the vault's NAR home, as a peer to the wiki index.
## Project notes
- [[evidence-map]] — the categorized source inventory behind the page: primary / first-person / expert / commentary / personal, with attribution verifications.
- [[decisions-and-terminology]] — information architecture, audience assumptions, definitions adopted, disputed-terminology rulings, claims narrowed or rejected, privacy decisions.
- [[open-threads-and-adjacent-work]] — evidence gaps, contested claims, and recommended follow-up pages.
## Status
- **Guide page:** last substantive edit 2026-08-24. Reviewed 2026-09-09 — all 140 wikilinks resolve, and no link points into `1. Projects/Religious Research/` or this folder, so the publish rules hold.
- **Last feeder update:** 2026-09-09 — three September sources added to the evidence map (the Coopers' exit interview as Tier 2; WBHR Ep. 699 and Ep. 696 as Tier 4), Wagner's four reviewed primary texts promoted into Tier 1, and open thread 3 narrowed on the strength of the new genealogy material.
- **Open decision:** whether to add the "authority, not doctrine" diagnostic to the guide page's evaluation section — see item 1b in [[open-threads-and-adjacent-work]].
