In the Image of God
God's Image & Justice
Honoring the dignity of the image of God in the face of others is something we do not just in our personal interaction, but also by addressing the patterns in our community that create and sustain inequities among groups of people. This is the work of biblical justice. As Cornel West says, "Justice is what love looks like in public, just like tenderness is what love feels like in private."

Sometimes it seems like the world gives us every reason to tear each other apart and dehumanize people who are not like us. On a personal level, sometimes it’s easy to look around and find all the reasons that we are not enough in who we are. What’s missing is what we hold in common: the recognition of the image of God in the face of the other AND in the face in the mirror. Recognizing the image of God in others is foundational to convictions like God’s love, equality, human dignity, and justice. Recognizing the image of God in ourselves firmly grounds our own sense of worth, potential, purpose, and calling. Let’s see ourselves as God sees us as we take a transformational look at some of our most pressing challenges from the vital Biblical idea that we are all created in the image of God.
