Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to put sensitive information into ChatGPT?

Clearly no. Confessional and pastoral information and personal data must not go into ChatGPT. We show you which content can be used safely and where the boundaries are, including local alternatives for sensitive tasks.

Is it theologically responsible to use AI in proclamation?

AI is a tool, like a desk or a microphone. What matters is that human theological reflection, tradition and pastoral responsibility remain at the centre. AI helps you write faster but never replaces the question of what God’s word means here and now.

How long is the workshop and where is it held?

A half-day, around 4 hours. Format and location are tailored to your needs, on-site in your parish, hybrid or online are all possible.

What does the workshop cost?

Cost depends on parish size, number of participants and format. Drop us a few details, we will make a fair, no-obligation offer.

Do we need prior knowledge?

No. Beginners are welcome. The workshop is hands-on, every participant works with real AI tools. We explain every step.

Do we get follow-up support after the workshop?

Yes. Three months of open questions by email or phone. Optionally we go deeper on specific topics in booster sessions.
