Conferences

Created in the image of the Trinitarian God, human persons are essentially “social” in their identity. We find our significance and security in relationship to others. Created in the image of the Living God, we nonetheless find ourselves in relationship to images we have fashioned as an alternative means of finding significance and security. Tragically we chase after the very idols we have created.

This will be an all-day conference primarily for Christian Graduate Students and Faculty members. More details coming soon.

The conference theme is "Gospel Freedom: Ancient Words, Modern Wisdom."

In literature and film, the Russian villains of Rocky-era films have suddenly been replaced by a variety of Arab and Muslim terrorists, and the fear of religious others is replacing the fear of racial others.
