Can you help think through what you would see as the scope for a study committee like what this overture is talking about? How wide is too wide? How narrow is, you know, where are we trying to aim with something like this?

Adam ParkerGUEST
Well, if you try doing something like studying environmental impact of AI, or if you try studying whether or not data centers damage the environment in the places where they are, or if you are studying Legal aspects of AI, these are not things that anybody is going to the Presbyterian Church in America asking us to help them with, right? We are not going to do good groundwater studies.

Adam ParkerGUEST
And so I think it's good to ask the question, what kind of leadership do people expect to receive from the church? And I think that's the place that you maybe start.

Adam ParkerGUEST
