Human Dignity The Church community strongly believes in the dignity and value of every human person, young or old, rich or poor, no matter what sex, race, religion or nationality. The value and dignity of the person is there because they are created by a loving God for a unique purpose in creation.

Human Dignity This dignity is a gift of God and does not have to be earned or proven in any way. Not only is each person unique and loved in creation, but God invites all humanity to participate in God’s own divine life, now and in eternity.
