1. As Christians we believe that, irrespective of where we live, what we own or what we look like, each of us is made in God’s image. This means we each have a God-given dignity. So we must treat others with great respect and fairness because God created them, too.
“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:27
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
UDHR #1

2. “When we deal with each other, we should do so with the sense of awe that arises in the presence of something holy and sacred. For that is what human beings are: we are created in the image of God.” Economic Justice for All, #28
