From Taipei to Buckhead: The Churches That Said Yes to AI

Which AI Is Discipling Your People? The Hidden Theology Baked Into Chatbots
Here's a fun experiment: ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini the same theological question. You'll get three different answers. Same question. Different catechists. Different formation.

The Dangers We Must Not Ignore: Church Leaders Sound the Alarm on AI
While 91% of church leaders support AI, prophetic voices issue urgent warnings: loss of humanity, algorithmic manipulation, pastoral replacement, and truth crises. Not fear-mongering—wisdom for navigating AI's genuine risks without abandoning its potential.
The Image of God in an Age of Algorithms: Theological Reflections on AI
As AI writes poetry, composes music, and produces sermons, the ancient question "What does it mean to be human?" returns with new urgency. The Church—custodian of imago Dei—must articulate a robust theology of humanity that transcends data and algorithms.
