A speaker series from Concordia Lutheran Church Kirkwood
Engaging Faith and Culture
Algorithms in the Family, the State, and the Sanctuary
Christian Ethics in the Age of AI
March 5, 2026 | 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Rev. William G. Fredstrom
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant possibility or the stuff of science fiction. It is already embedded in everyday life, quietly shaping our social practices, institutions, and even our assumptions about what it means to be human. This presentation examines three concrete ways AI is reshaping the family, the state, and the church, and offers theological reflections to help Christians live faithfully and wisely within an increasingly technosocial world.
Rev. Fredstrom is the Assistant Pastor at Immanuel Lutheran in Seymour, IN and Adjunct Professor of Theology at Concordia University Chicago.
