Editorial Policy
AI & This Ministry
Where we use AI tools, where we refuse to, and why we are telling you.
We use AI tools in the making of this site, and we would rather tell you that plainly than have you wonder. Here is exactly where, and exactly where not.
Where we use it
- Research assistance. Gathering sources, surfacing cross-references, and summarising long documents so a human can read the ones that matter.
- Editing. Tightening our own drafts — the same job a copy editor does.
- Production. Illustration, layout, and the software that runs this site.
Where we do not
- No unread, unedited AI articles. A person is responsible for every word published here, and that responsibility is not delegable.
- No AI doctrine. Theological claims are checked against Scripture and against sources we can name, not against a model's confidence.
- No fabricated sources. If we cite it, we have read it.
Why be this specific
Because trust is the only currency a ministry publication has. A tool that helps a small team research carefully and publish clearly is worth using. A tool used to manufacture volume nobody has read is worth refusing. The line between those is not technical — it is editorial, and it is ours to hold.
If you ever find something on this site that reads like it was written by a machine and checked by nobody, tell us. We will fix it and say so.
