As suas árvores rodeiam-nos, abafam-nos, comprimem-nos de todos os lados, obstruem a vista, deixam-nos baralhados e sem referências. Fazem-nos sentir pequenos, confundidos e vulneráveis, como se fôssemos uma criança pequena perdida numa multidão de pernas estranhas. Num deserto ou pradaria sabemos que estamos num grande espaço. Numa floresta apenas podemos pressenti-lo. São um vasto e incaracterístico nenhures.”

“As followers of Christ, we must respect God's creation of all people, and see them not as problems to be ignored or hidden away. Rather, we must see them as mirrors of our own brokenness, and as divine windows through which we can catch glimpses of God's grace. We must do whatever we can to respect God's image in even the most broken and twisted lives. Even the least of these carries intrinsic dignity and worth.”
