IMAGO DEI: HUMAN DIGNITY IN ECUMENICAL PERSPECTIVE
Friday, April 16, 2012

A conference at Gordon College exploring human dignity with Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant scholars through a variety of questions. What does it mean today when Christians employ the language of human dignity to express beliefs about human worth in light of the doctrine of Creation? And how have various historical forces and developments (the rise of biotechnology, processes of globalization, intractable problems of poverty and disease, the proliferation of moral and technological choices made available to individuals in liberal societies) affected the manner in which we think and speak about... human dignity.
