Artificial Intelligence - help or threat?
Is "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) a mystery to you? Is it a threat? Does it have a place in churches, or even in your own life? Unless we consider it, and understand it, we will never know and we will probably see it as irrelevant or a threat, because most things we don't understand are exactly that. Under the Our Church - Audio Visual tab above there are a number of links covering all sorts of articles on the subject. Try some!

"Many local churches are turning their prayerful reflection
into action through the Eco Church programme run by A Rocha. It has become much
more common today to pray in church for God’s creation and our own part in
addressing climate change. We have more opportunities in the annual church
calendar to reflect on creation such as World Environment Day in June. Some
churches have begun to mark the period of ‘Creationtide’ in September,
originally a festival of the Orthodox Christian church. Harvest Sunday falls
during this period."
Extract from "Climate Change and the Christian Faith".

The Four aims of Methodists
Methodism's activities, both alone and with ecumenical and secular partners, are based on four aims known as Our Calling:
· To increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love
· To help people to grow and learn as Christians through mutual support and care
· To be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice
· To make more followers of Jesus Christ.

"Property plays a significant role in enabling a presence within communities. A Methodist building that is welcoming, eye-catching and that acts as a focal point for community engagement can speak powerfully of God’s love. Utilising a property either by redeveloping it for social purpose or incorporating a range of social uses into an existing building is as much a part of a mission plan as preaching, worship or community evangelism."
