Let the communicant answer directly
The app should ask in the candidate's actual communication mode so the church is assessing the person's own response, not only a helper's paraphrase.
SUPPORTED CA / ASL
OpenAI American Sign Language (ASL) Tool
A church-facing workflow where an approved signer avatar asks doctrinal and sacramental questions in ASL, OpenAI interprets the communicant's signed response, and the church receives an evidence-based assessment for communion, baptism, or membership.
Operating Principles
Church Use and AI Boundaries
The app is meant to help the communicant answer directly in sign language while preserving the church's standards and the Session's authority.
Guard the standard, not spoken fluency
The goal is not to lower doctrinal or sacramental standards, but to remove speech fluency as a de facto requirement when the same truths can be credibly communicated another way.
Preserve evidence for church review
Prompt clips, response clips, translations, and confidence flags should be kept together so Session can review what was communicated before acting.
Assessment Setup
Communicant Information and Purpose of Assessment
Communion Admission
Determine whether the candidate communicates faith in Christ, repentance, and the basic meaning of the Lord's Supper in a way that supports admission to the Table.
