Every human being is equal, lovingly and beautifully made in God’s image and likeness. We are all sisters and brothers of one another. What flows from this is that every person we meet - family, friends, neighbours, strangers, people on the other side of the world - are also made in God's image and likeness. Their dignity must be respected and preserved.
