It is notable that few Pentecostals have engaged with the discipline of Practical Theology (PT). Whilst those who have often include a helpful emphasis on pneumatology in their methodological work, they generally do not incorporate a fuller range of Pentecostal nuances beyond pneumatology. This paper seeks to address this by considering how Pentecostal theology can more broadly resource a PT method. This is important because Pentecostalism has its own way of generating knowledge, which emerges from these broader theological distinctives. In doing so, it suggests a step-by-step method, framed around the questions posed by the crowd at Pentecost, and draws from theological ideas present in the Acts 2 narrative. Furthermore, it is characterised by the predisposition of the theologian to seek what Christ and the Spirit are saying or doing in the experience.

ABSTRACTWith humanity’s ever-increasing reliance on, and closer integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI), the questions of AI’s agency as both potential spiritual-being and spiritual care-giver are pressing. This paper reviews these from an acute Hospital Chaplaincy perspective, utilising that sector’s broad definitions of spirituality, and case studies. The structure is provided by two broad questions: ‘Does AI need chaplaincy?’ and ‘Could AI provide chaplaincy?’ Focusing on Boden’s (2018) definition of AI as being humans and computers in symbiosis, this article argues that Chaplaincy may be deeply necessary for the human components of AI, especially with the lax ethical landscape around AI development and usage. Further, recognising that AI already provides quasi-Chaplaincy through apps, this article raises concerns around whether it can provide the same level of care as a human Chaplain, especially around questions of embodiment, free-will, veracity, professionalism, charity, and humanity. Although this paper has a specific focus on Hospital Chaplaincy and its arguments sit within those parameters (which the author recognises is more person-centred and limited than broader parish-based pastoral care), there are important implications for all in public ministry, whatever their setting.KEYWORDS: AIcomputingspiritualityethicschaplaincyspiritual care Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsElizabeth BrownRev’d Elizabeth Brown is a Church of England priest, licensed in the Diocese of Newcastle upon Tyne, currently working as a full-time Healthcare Chaplain in an acute NHS Trust which, unusually, also includes her serving in a mental health unit for older people. She is a member of the Chaplain’s trade union (CHCC) and a registrant of the UK Board of Healthcare Chaplains, having gained the PGCert in Healthcare Chaplaincy at University of Glasgow in 2019/20. She continued her studies 2020–2022 to receive an MA in Theology and Ministry with merit from St John’s College, Durham.
