<p>AI has made me think we're pretty darn clever in our assessment
of where we need to go. Annie<br>

<div>Just for kicks, I signed up to experiment with
Google’s new AI text generator, Bard. Below is what I
asked, and what Bard answered. <br>

My community is not very diverse demographically (we’re mostly white, and aging), but political divisions are rampant. Our church welcomes everybody—regardless of their belief system, gender identity, sexual preference, politics,…. You know, we’re UUs. Can you come up with a paragraph or two that would attract young people, especially young families? Maybe we could post something on social media. Thanks for your help!</h2>

<p style="margin:0px 0px 16px;white-space:pre-wrap;word-break:break-word">Sure, here are a few ideas:</p>
<ul style="margin:4px 0px">
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Highlight
your welcoming environment.</strong> Unitarian
Universalist churches are known for their
open and accepting atmosphere. You could
emphasize this in your social media posts
by using images and videos of people of
all backgrounds interacting with each
other.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Talk
about your social justice work.</strong> Unitarian
Universalists are also committed to social
justice. You could share stories about
your congregation's work to make the world
a better place.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Offer
young families special programs.</strong> You
could offer young families special
programs and events, such as
family-friendly services, childcare, or
social events.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Be
active on social media.</strong> Make
sure you are active on social media and
post regularly about your church and its
programs. You could also use social media
to connect with young people in your
community.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Partner
with other organizations.</strong> You
could partner with other organizations in
your community to reach out to young
people. For example, you could partner
with a local school or community center to
offer a religious education program for
children.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><strong>Be
visible in the community.</strong> Make
sure your church is visible in the
community. You could attend local events
or participate in community service
projects.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:16px 0px;white-space:pre-wrap;word-break:break-word">I hope these ideas are helpful!</p>
<p style="margin:16px 0px;white-space:pre-wrap;word-break:break-word">*****</p>
<p style="margin:16px 0px;white-space:pre-wrap;word-break:break-word">Dawn here again. Well, artificial intelligence seems to think we’re on the right track. Perhaps I should have asked it to write a poem that would increase our membership! Maybe I’ll try that next. </p>
