Pillars of Personhood
Pillars of Personhood is the premier educational model of Georgia Right to Life.
Rooted in a biblical foundation, our Pillars of Personhood training examines the nature of personhood and the threats posed against it. With a biblical lens, the presentation focuses on the bioethical, theological, educational, and philosophical aspects of personhood. Combined with an examination of legislative and political action goals, the presentation calls for a nation that respects the sanctity of human life. Various threats to personhood are heavily discussed such as abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, in vitro fertilization, and more!
Pillars of Personhood is a Gospel-centered and Christ-focused seminar, which is the main reason why we encourage churches to become involved and host a presentation. Georgia Right to Life strongly believes that the only path towards restoring the Imago Dei and the sanctity of human life is through the work of the church. There is no lasting foundation in a secular path for protecting life and glorifying God.
If you have any questions or interest in hosting a Pillars of Personhood Presentation at your church, please contact us: stateoffice@grtl.org
The Pillars of Personhood training handbook is divided into multiple sections and topics. Through these sections, we learn about where we get our personhood from, what is threatening our personhood in the 21st century, how to advance personhood, and how to engage your community with the message of personhood.
