AI and Faith has over 40 experts and several partners who affiliate with Christian denominations that in the US are often considered mainline protestant denominations. This includes denominations that have historically been central to American Protestantism: the United Methodist Church (UMC), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), American Baptist Churches USA, United Church of Christ, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Although the term “Mainline Protestant Christians” generally refers only to certain Protestant denominations in the US, we use it more broadly to refer to ecumenical Protestant Christians whose Christian identity is generally informed by their denominational beliefs and doctrines grounded in versions of the Nicene Creed. We differentiate some of our activities among Mainline Protestant, Evangelical Christian, and Roman Catholic perspectives to facilitate the ability of our Christian experts to speak to different groups and collaborate on focused projects, though many of our experts are ecumenically focused or affiliate with other Christian traditions.
