AI Prayer and Devotional Boundaries
What are appropriate and inappropriate roles for AI in prayer, devotion, spiritual exercises, Bible meditation, confession-like disclosure, and simulated spiritual companionship?
Why this matters
The question behind the brief.
Many products invite users to "pray with" AI, "talk to Jesus," receive devotional messages, or interact with simulated biblical or saintly figures. The Church needs clearer evidence about when these interfaces support devotion and when they confuse prayer, presence, authority, or mediation.
