After years of partnership, AI Theology and AI and Faith have merged as one organization sharing volunteer resources and digital assets. The conversation started in early June, when the leadership of both groups evaluated the many overlaps between the organizations and concluded that a full joining of forces was warranted. AI Theology brings in a wealth of content, a 1,000-member-strong Facebook community, a web portal, and 5 additional experts to the AI and Faith fold. With this move, Elias Kruger, founder of AI Theology, has now joined the executive team of AI and Faith (he was already an advisor). The expanded structure will empower AI and Faith to reach wider audiences and produce new content.
