🤖 *AI AND THE CHURCH: Discernment. Tension. Opportunity.*
AI is already changing how we communicate, create and connect, but what does responsible AI use look like within the Church?
Following the recent COGOP International Assembly session on *AI and the Church*, here are four important guardrails for us to consider:
🔵 Transparency
đź“– Theological Discernment
⏰ Faithful Stewardship of Time
❤️ Protecting People’s Trust
AI can support communications, administration, content creation, accessibility, teaching resources and more, but it should remain a *tool that supports ministry, not something that replaces people, relationships or spiritual discernment.*
As a Church, the question isn’t simply *“Can we use AI?”* but *“How can we use it faithfully, wisely and responsibly for Kingdom impact?”*
đź’¬ How are you already using AI in your church or ministry? Let us know below.
