Quotes by Steven Bouma-Prediger (?)

“While it is true that only humans are created in the image of God, and that this makes us unique in important ways vis-a-vis other creatures, it does not follow that human uniqueness undermines our calling as earthkeepers. We are supremely valuable, but other creatures are valuable too. Our uniqueness does not exempt us from extending care but rather summons us to faithfully exercise our God-given responsibility to till and keep the garden that is the earth. Human uniqueness is not a license for exploitation but a call to service. If God loves all creatures, then as God's image-hearers, so should we.”

“We care for only what we love. We love only what we know. We truly know only what we experience. If we do not know our place-know it in more than a passing, cursory way, know it intimately and personally-then we are destined to use and abuse it.”

“Jesus Christ is Creator, Integrator, and Reconciler; yet many who call on his name abuse, neglect, and do not give a care about creation. That irony is there for all to see. Honoring the Creator in word, they destroy God's works in deed. Praising God from whom all blessings now, they diminish and destroy God's creatures here below. The pieces of this puzzle do not fit! One piece says, "We honor the Great Master!" The other piece says, "We despise his great masterpieces!"N5”
