The outlines of a Christian theology of AI are pretty simple I think:
1. humanity are animals distinguished by rationality (real knowledge and free agency) teleology (communion with God by knowing and loving him).

“Since the redefinition of marriage a decade ago, we’ve seen the consequences: parenthood treated as replaceable, and children deprived of the unique love and guidance only a mother and father can provide.”

"We accuse liberals of removing God from the gospel – often with considerable justification – and yet in our worship we have fallen into the same trap."

EDUCATION FREEDOM AT STAKE FOR CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AS GOVERNMENT FACES JUDICIAL REVIEW OVER UNPRECEDENTED VAT POLICY
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Christian schools, parents and pupils are in court to judicially review the government's VAT policy.
One Christian parent bringing the claim is bookseller Stephen White.
Mr White has chosen to live in one of the most deprived areas of Bradford so that he can afford to send his four children to the Bradford Christian School based in the Yorkshire city.
Mr White, whose 14-year-old son, Josiah, is also a claimant in the case, said: “As Christians, we believe that it is our duty as parents to raise our children in line with our beliefs. This policy denies us this right and choice and must be challenged.”
He says the government’s policy is ‘unjust and ‘discriminatory’ and will force him to home-school his children as the heavy secularisation of state schools, and even Church of England schools, mean that his children would not be taught in line with the family’s Christian beliefs.
He accuses Labour of creating a “caricature of wealthy schools full of wealthy parents”, which is “not the reality”.
Find out more and pray for all involved as the hearing begins imminently.
