A coalition for human dignity

Faith Leaders for Secure AI

AI is being built faster than we can ensure it respects human dignity. The voice of the church is needed now.

Convened by The Alliance for Secure AI. Open to pastors, theologians, and faith leaders across traditions.

Engineers built the systems. Lawmakers will set the rules. Pastors will name what they are for.

Two thousand years of moral imagination

The church has wrestled with what a person is, what work is for, what we owe one another, and what we are permitted to make. Those questions did not begin with ChatGPT. They were already ours.

Pulpits reach where policy can't

Pastors speak weekly to communities that lawmakers rarely reach — across generations, vocations, and political coalitions.

The watchman's duty

Ezekiel was appointed to his post. So were you. To name a danger before it arrives is what the prophets called us to do.

Three ways to be in this coalition.

One

As an individual leader

Add your name as a pastor, theologian, or faith worker. You'll receive the digest, the gatherings, and the resources — and your name joins the coalition's list of signatories.

Two

For your church or denomination

Bring your office. We work with bishops, conference staffs, seminary leadership, and denominational committees who want to participate in their official capacity.

For the resources, for now

Two resources to bring this conversation home.

What we hear from leaders considering joining.

“I’m not partisan — is this a political coalition?”

No — this is a coalition about human dignity, not a policy alignment.

Signed-on leaders span the political spectrum — Catholic, Mainline, Evangelical, LDS, Orthodox. The questions at stake (personhood, work, surveillance, justice) precede political coalitions. We are not asking you to endorse a party or a platform.

“I don’t know enough about AI to weigh in.”

You don’t need to be a technologist. You need to be a faithful witness.

The question is not whether you’re an expert in technology — but whether you can speak to your own beliefs, values, relationships, and theology in the face of these systems. The coalition includes pastors who came in not knowing what an LLM was. We learn together.

“My congregation is already overwhelmed.”

This is not another program for your church to run.

The resources are there when you want them; the digest is five minutes a month; the gatherings are optional. The aim is to make sure your voice is in the larger conversation — not to add labor to a calendar already full.

“What does joining actually obligate me to?”

Nothing beyond what you choose.

No fundraising commitment, no political endorsement, no required public statement. You can be a private signatory who just receives the digest. You can be a public voice. You can be anywhere in between. You can unsubscribe any time.
