Our dignity is that we are children of God, capable of communion with God, the object of the love of God — displayed to us on the cross — and destine for eternal fellowship with God. Our true value is not what we are worth in ourselves, but what we are worth to God, and that worth is bestowed upon us by the utterly gratuitous love of God. All our lives should be ordered and conducted with this dignity in view – William Temple, Christianity and Social Order
