Christian Responses to AI - Discussion Session (1st August, 2-5pm in church)
On 1st August, we will be hosting a discussion about Christian responses to AI in church, from 2-5pm. The session will be divided into two parts, with an introductory talk (30 mins) followed by Q&A about the "state of the (fast-advancing) field of AI" from David Stubbs, who is head of AI at a local software company. He is very knowledgeable about the field but has a keen eye for the deeper philosophical questions that AI poses. This will help to get us all on the same playing field in terms of our knowledge of current developments. We will break for coffee and cake, and then use Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a kickstart for our discussion about how we as Christians could and should respond to the challenges and opportunities AI poses. You don't need to read all of the encyclical (although feel free!); if you could read the Introduction and Chapter 3 that would be ideal, and Chapter 4 if possible. You can find the link to the Encyclical here. Don't worry if you don't have time to read it - just come anyway.
Unity Lunch Club
Unity Lunch Club has now finished for the summer and will start again on the 21st September. The club is a much-needed service and appreciated by our regular guests. They are always thankful for the meal and companionship. Our attendance now averages 30 guests each Monday but if all our guests came on one day, we would be somewhere in the region of 50 people.
All the volunteers are in agreement that we wish to continue in the Autumn and although it is hard work at times, it is very rewarding. Unity Lunch Club would like to thank everyone who supports us. We are very grateful for the financial donation from everyone at All Saints’, Waitrose, and the donation of magazines from Stamford Beauty.
In September Unity Lunch Club needs,
VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS!
We also need a cook (not every week), to enable other cooks to have a break.
Wishing everyone a safe, peaceful, and restful summer, from everyone at Unity Lunch Club.
St John’s Garden
St John’s Quiet Churchyard will be open now for visitors every Friday until July, from 11am until 3pm.
Communion
If getting to the altar to receive communion is a problem, please speak to one of the wardens at the start of the service and you can receive communion in the pew.
When you receive Communion please do not dip the host into the cup. You may receive in one kind. Fr. Neil
