Show Notes:

  • Topics covered:

    • Mercedes’s step-by-step approach to introducing AI at All Saints’ Episcopal Church.
      Transparency about AI use, including from the pulpit and in vestry discussions.
    • Managing expectations with a Responsible Use Policy.
    • Building trust by sharing examples and demonstrating how AI supports ministry work.

  • Consider if your church needs a Responsible Use Policy or clearer communication strategies.
  • If you're planning to introduce AI tools, prepare concrete examples to show how they support, not replace, human ministry.
