God and AI: A reflection through Choral Evensong James Ratcliffe
Event details
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves and changing the world around us. Christians cannot ignore it. Join us for an exploration of how Christian faith is affected by AI within the context of Choral Evensong.
The juxtaposition of a traditional service (including music, readings and prayers) with a discussion of Artificial Intelligence, led by James Ratcliffe of Bootham School, is designed to be both informative and thought-provoking.
Choral Evensong will be led by the Right Reverend Glyn Hamilton Webster, Priest in Charge of All Saints, North Street, while the choir will sing psalms, canticles, responses and anthems under the direction of Maximillian Elliott, Assistant Director of Music at All Saints.
You may also enjoy ‘Ecclesiastical Architecture: History and future’ on Wednesday 4 June and ‘Stained Glass: Conservation and Restoration’ on Wednesday 11 June.
