A Reflection on the Image of God
 
"Our inherent "likeness to God" depends upon the objective connection given by God equally to all creatures, each of whom carries the divine DNA in a unique way.
​
...the "image of God" is absolute and unchanging.  There is nothing humans can do to increase or decrease it.  And it is not ours to decide who has it or does not have it, which has been most of our problem up to now.  It is pure and total gift, given equally to all."
