The Center is Not Holding: The Modern Self and a Theology of Adoptive Identity - Mike Sugimoto - 2022 Conference Highlights: Image and Identity   Click for Slides   Mike Sugimoto is Professor of Asian Studies at Pepperdine University with a focus on cinema, sociology and philosophy.   The 2022 Rochester L'Abri Conference "Image and Identity in a Culture of Confusion" takes the general theme of 'Identity Formation'. Our current Cultural Confusion is manifested in many areas – the Sexual Revolution, Identity Politics, Social Media, etc – and in past conferences we have often looked at the moral issues involved. This year we want to look at their ideological roots and the challenge they pose to Identity Formation. In contrast to our culture’s obsession with Social Media Image and Political Identity, our formation should be grounded in the Image of God and oriented by our Identity in Christ.
