QUERIES
- People everywhere are children of God and members of one family. We have regard for the worth of each person. We cannot be easy in our lives when others suffer indignity, injustice, or want. In the Spirit of Christ are we ready to put ourselves at one another's side and share each other's burdens. As we are true to the divine within us, we respond to the divine in others.
- Do
we speak to and answer "that of God " in everyone?
-
In all our relations with others do we treat them as equals?
-
Do we avoid being drawn into violent reactions against those who are
destructive
of human dignity?
- Do we reach out to the violator as well as the violated with courage and love? Do we search diligently for ways of assuring the right of every individual to be loved, cared for, and properly educated, to obtain useful employment, and to live in dignity?
