Hi Tim -

What is the intended difference between "Family" and "Relationships" and do you have advice regarding when to use each.
I mean, I see that relationships could be used for anything that is beyond 1st degree family, but still "Relationships" has spouse (husband/wife) and parent/child options which I find somewhat redundant with "Family".

I also could not get the "Reciprocate" button (on "Inward Relationships") to do anything; is this feature still in development? (should I log as an issue on GitHub)?

Side note:
We are seriously considering using OneBody for a "mega church" in Egypt, that's why I've been making some noise here and on GitHub lately.
We really like OneBody and I'm hoping I am able to customize it enough to our needs without diverting too much from the main branch.

Best,
Fadi

Relationships were a way to model specific connections vs a family which is really more of a "household" where someone lives together with other people. There is some redundancy there I suppose. Feel free to not use relationships if it doesn't serve a purpose for you.

The reciprocate button works if you check an existing relationship.

Here's an example:

1. Add a relationship between pointing from a man to his sister.
2. Place a checkmark beside this relationship and press the "Reciprocate" button to automatically create a relationship pointing back from the sister to this person.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. It's always exciting to hear about churches using or even just exploring our software! Feel free to join our Slack chat if you want, too: http://chat.church.io/

I've been trying to join the slack channel, but every time I enter my e-mail address I get a red "Token_Revoked" message!
Do you have any clues for me here?
