Welcome to the AI Christian Partnership

Enabling Christians to navigate the world of AI

Who are we?

We are a pioneering alliance of Christian organisations, respected theologians and innovative technologists.

We believe that AI can be a powerful tool for ministry, but only when used in a way that is consistent with Christian values.

We aim to promote AI literacy enabling Christians in work and ministry to responsibly navigate the world of AI.

Members

The AI Christian Partnership members include the Christian think tank Theos, the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Youthscape - training youth leaders across Britain, ECLAS - Equipping Christian Leaders in an Age of Science, the Industrial Christian Fellowship – supporting Christians in the world of work, and the European Evangelical Alliance.
