QUOTABLE

“...the crucial realization [is] that the natural world enjoys its own intrinsic value before God. It is not created simply for human use, nor is it only an instrument to serve our needs.  We can no longer reduce divine care to one newly arriving species, homo sapiens.  Far from being a mere backdrop for our human lives or a stage for our drama, the natural world is a beloved creation valued by God for its own sake.”

----Elizabeth A. Johnson, Abounding in Kindness: Writings for the People of God. (Maryknoll: Orbis books, 2015) page 94
