LIVE WEBINAR
Wednesday, October 30 | 1PM CT
Today, the concept of personhood is more philosophically and ethically ambiguous — and under greater threat — than ever before. In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. prophetically urged us to move from a culture of things to a culture of persons. His call to recognize and affirm the intrinsic value of each person is as crucial today as it was in his time.
As our world becomes increasingly shaped by commodification and dehumanization, how do we maintain a personalist moral compass? How can we stand firm in our conviction that every individual holds inherent worth in a time when ethical boundaries are often blurred?
In this webinar, Dr. Paul Louis Metzger will explore:
The contemporary threats to personhood and human dignity
Dr. King's and others' vision for a culture rooted in personalism
Practical strategies for holding and using a moral compass in ethically ambiguous situations
Ways to resist societal pressures that commodify and dehumanize individuals
If you are seeking to understand what it looks like to have a personalized moral compass in today’s world, this webinar is for you.
