"When will we learn that human beings
are of infinite value because they have been created in the image of God, and
that it is a blasphemy to treat them as if they were less than this and to do
so ultimately recoils on those who do this? In dehumanising others, they are
themselves dehumanised. Perhaps oppression dehumanises the oppressors as much
as, if not more than, the oppressed. They need each other to become truly free,
to become human. We can be human only in fellowship, in community, in koinonia,
in peace."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
