Dignity


    We respect and value each other, recognizing everyone's worth.

    To be human is to bear the image of God. It's part of who we are; it cannot be earned or taken away. It gives all human beings a fundamental equality. Our founders, William and Catherine Booth, offered “soup, soap” and then “salvation” to hurting people. I think the order of these is important because it speaks of dignity. They realized that it’s hard to feed a person’s soul when they have an empty stomach. It’s hard to preach about finding a spiritual home when you don’t have anywhere to lay your head for the night. That’s why they took care of people’s practical needs first. Human dignity should never be ignored.
