DIGNITY TOOL BOX
“Dignity is an internal state of peace that comes with the recognition and acceptance of the value and vulnerability of all living things.”
Donna Hicks, PhD, “Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict”
“Our baptismal pledge to “respect the dignity of every human being” means, at the very least, to listen to one another. Alongside our listening, we must also work for what we can do on behalf of the least, and the last, and the lowly – the anguished multitudes of our own country and our world – to redress the injustice, poverty, and unconscionable suffering which is their daily bread.” Br. Curtis Almquist, SSJE
"This book is a must read for those who want to experience peace in their everyday lives and peace in the world around them. Without an understanding of dignity, there is no hope for such change. If you want to find the weak links in a democracy, look for where people are suffering. You will most likely see a variety of violations. If you want peace, be sure everyone's dignity is intact."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu
