This presentation is a plenary session. Does not conflict with other sessions at the Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit that offer NBCC credit.

The Christian Scriptures open with the account of creation, in which human beings are made in the image of God. This God is later revealed to be the perfect being of Love, existing as eternal relationship between the Father, Son, and Spirit. Humans, bearing the image of this God, are created for relationships, as well. In this session, Dr. Porter will tell the story of human connection through parallel accounts of both Scripture and nature. Drawing from the biblical account of creation, as well as research from attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology, he will weave together a narrative of how we are designed by and for relationships.
