How to Use AI in Ministry 

led by James Lawrence from CPAS

Monday 20 April, 1pm to 2pm
Online via Zoom 

We hear so much about AI. Some see it as their 'saviour' (it isn't!), others as leading to the apocalypse (it won't). We'll explore practical ways to use AI in ministry that will utilise AI as a contributor to your leadership. No knowledge of AI needed. Sceptics welcome!
