SUMMARY:Webinar: Getting Started with AI
DESCRIPTION:This introductory webinar will help you get started with using artificial intelligence (AI) confidently and effectively in your church. During the session\, you will learn how to: choose and use a large language model (LLM) tool; write clear and effective prompts; use AI to support practical church\, work\, and personal tasks; work with documents and data safely; and identify useful ways AI could support you in your role. \nThis is a hands-on session focused on the basics of using AI. We will not have time to explore the wider ethical questions around whether or how AI should be used\, or its environmental impact. \nPlease read the diocesan AI policy and guidance before attending. You will need access to an AI tool\, such as ChatGPT\, Microsoft CoPilot\, or Google Gemini\, so that you can take part in the practical exercises. Please create or access an account before the webinar begins. A step-by-step guide is available for anyone who has not used one of these tools before: AI Account Setup Guide  No previous experience of AI is needed.

We are gathered to listen again to that call – to be rooted in Jesus\, changed by grace\, and renewed in hope. And we are sent outwards\, into parishes\, schools\, chaplaincies\, and communities\, to share the good news of God’s Kingdom. To be called and sent is to live Christ’s story today – receiving his love\, and sharing it with courage and compassion. \nWho is invited?\nAll licensed and beneficed clergy\, Licensed Lay Ministers (Readers)\, and members of the diocese’s two religious communities have been invited to stay residentially for all three days. \nFor Saturday\, we have also invited a wide range of diocesan lay and ordained leaders\, including: Mustard Seed Community Ministers\, Lay Deans\, employed children\, families\, and youth workers\, clergy with Permission to Officiate (PTO)\, Lay Multiply Leaders\, Deanery Financial Advisers (DFAs)\, members of Archbishop’s Council\, young people and young adults. \nEach deanery has also been given up to five additional places for anyone not listed above whom they would like to attend. \nDiocesan and Bishopthorpe staff will be involved at various points during the conference. \nIf you think you should have received an invitation but have not\, please email Emily Bird. \nConference Prayer\nLoving God\,by your spirit you call us into lifeand send us to proclaim your Kingdom in the world.Renew the life of our diocese\,make us part of your story\,so that\, called and sent\, we may be more like Christand share his love with others.Amen. \nWe are grateful to Benefact and the Archbishop of York’s discretionary fund for financially supporting the majority of conference costs.

SUMMARY:CCLA Investment Training for Parishes

Whether you’re completely new to investing or looking to refresh your knowledge\, you’ll leave with practical insights and resources to help you steward your church’s assets with confidence for the long term. \nAfter a short break\, we will continue with an optional 30-minute review of CCLA’s recent performance for clients\, providing explanations of 2025’s returns\, what the team is doing about them\, and their confidence in the process and portfolios looking ahead. As part of this\, there will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the recent merger with Jupiter\, if of interest.

SUMMARY:Living as a Human in an AI World
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organisations operate. Churches are no exception. From communications and administration to planning and engagement\, AI presents both significant opportunities and serious risks. \nJoin the Revd Canon Tim Bull for this practical webinar to assess where AI can add value in your context\, and where caution is required. Tim will explore ethical and social considerations\, with a focus on informed decision-making\, risk awareness\, and responsible use. \nDesigned for clergy\, church officers\, PCC members\, children and youth workers\, and others in local leadership\, this session will offer theological principles and space for discussion. You will gain greater confidence to evaluate AI tools\, set appropriate boundaries\, and lead well in a fast-changing environment – ensuring your approach is effective\, ethical and aligned with Christ’s mission in the world today. \nBook a place: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ff6e2ebb-a814-4b21-bb58-c4e70b39326e@31baa460-1811-4523-89db-257a666586e6
