Exploring the Intersection of AI and Ministry
The Cathedral Resource Church Initiative is exploring the dual impact of AI on faith communities, examining both its potential to enhance community engagement and accessibility, as well as the ethical concerns and challenges it presents.

The resources below are the initial stages of projects we are developing with the use of generative AI tools. These showcase some of the potential for the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and image generation technologies within a faith context.
Embracing God’s Complex World: A Daily Devotion for Navigating Change
A daily devotional has been developed using a Large Language Model to create daily readings on specific topics in an Australian context. The images that accompany each reading have been created using image generation tools. You can access the devotional under the Spirituality menu tab or by the link below:

Gospel Reading Images
A compilation of images for the weekly Gospel readings has been developed for use in service notes etc. These images can be freely used, there is no copyright or attribution required. Each weeks Gospel has at least 3 images of different styles ranging from iconography to abstract. Feel free to request different images.
The images displayed are a selection taken from the weeks following Pentecost.
The weeks from Pentecost to the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost are now available to download. Additional weeks will be available in the future.
Other projects are in development.
