Rev. Dr. Marian Edmonds-Allen
Founder of FaithWise.ai
Rev. Dr. Marian Edmonds-Allen is a public theologian, peacebuilder, and values-based strategist working at the intersection of faith, ethics, and emerging technology.
She is the creator of the Soulgorithm framework - and writes, speaks, and facilitates workshops for Christian and multifaith communities across the United States and internationally.
Marian serves with the AI Initiative at the Neurospirituality Lab at Mass General Brigham, where she explores how spiritual values, human experience, and neuroscience can inform ethical engagement with AI and digital systems. A former church pastor and Hospice chaplain, she brings a grounded, compassionate presence to some of the most urgent questions of our time: what it means to be human, how communities can flourish, and how technology can serve rather than erode human dignity.
Her work spans human-centered AI, covenantal pluralism, inclusive religious freedom, and faith-rooted approaches to healing ideological and religious divides. Marian’s doctoral work at Eden Theological Seminary focused on faith and values-based methods for transforming conflict, and she also studied at Gordon College and Western Theological Seminary.
As a speaker, writer, and collaborator, Marian develops frameworks such as the Soulgorithm for values-based discernment, explores soul congruence in an age of automation, and works toward the development of spiritually responsive technologies. Through FaithWise.ai she curates research, reflection, and practices that equip people of faith, and people of good will, to engage AI as wise, hopeful leaders in a rapidly changing world.
Marian is married, has four children, and is a passionate skier and outdoor enthusiast who finds God’s blessings all around.

Guiding AI With Soul, Values, and Courage
FaithWise.ai is a home for people of faith and people of conscience who sense that artificial intelligence is not only a technological shift, but also a spiritual, ethical, and deeply human one. We help individuals and communities navigate AI with clarity, integrity, and spiritual wisdom.
Our mission is grounded in the Soulgorithm, a values-based discernment framework that supports thoughtful engagement with technology across Christian, multifaith, and civic settings.
Our Core Principles
Human-Centered AI: Technology must serve people. We affirm human dignity, relationality, and spiritual depth.
Values-Based Discernment: Wise decisions flow from understanding one’s core values and purpose. The Soulgorithm helps individuals align belief, conviction, and action in their use of technology.
Integrity & Congruence: We uphold spiritual and ethical integrity in a rapidly changing technological age.
Pluralism With Conviction: We honor difference while remaining rooted in our commitments. FaithWise.ai welcomes all traditions and seekers of wisdom and the common good.
Hopeful Realism: We face risks honestly while choosing courage, creativity, and thoughtful engagement over fear.
