What is the Imago Dei?
What is the Imago Dei?
Imago Dei is not a "Club" in the way one would traditionally define it. Rather it is a series is a student led initiative sponsored by the Student Development Sector to promote the concept of the Image of God on the Lee University Campus.
Birthed out of a group of students desire to see these conversations happen on our campus, the videos seek to. highlight and exemplify what it looks like to engage in difficult, necessary, and relevant conversations.
The digests series will include recommended Books, Movies, Podcasts, and TV shows in coordination with each episode.
These resources will also aim to go hand-in-hand with other local and campus events to encourage campus unity.
We want to use this platform to bring awareness and acknowledgement while bridging the gaps on our campus through starting conversations that model how to love our neighbor and restore humanity despite race, ethnicity, gender, economic status or any other factor. We want to be examples of responsible citizens as we live out our faith and come to a deeper understanding of true ethical action. Let this bring forth young leaders who will humbly become world changers for our campus and the kingdom of God. That they use their gifts to restore worth, dignity, and justice in everyone that they come across. Above all we pray that we remember Imago Dei: to reflect the image of God to others, while seeing the image of God in others.
*Adapted from Whitney Touchton's Prayer
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
