Imago Dei: Human Dignity In Ecumenical Perspective

Imago Dei, A conference at Gordon College, April 16

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.
