Review Quotes:
"The tenets of DIGNITY are an investment in healthy relationships and genuine community. You will find within these pages a framework for positive change and growth no matter
the setting."
-Klaas Baks, Professor in the Practice of Finance; Executive Director, Center for Alternative Investments, Emory University
"This is not a problem-solving book but rather one which seeks to open readers' hearts, minds, and, above all, eyes to see differently; to engage in the patient, reflective and self- reflexive exercise of naming, and then interrogating the biases and assumptions that cloud our normal vision; to rethink, reconsider, and reimagine through the lens of dignity-that God-given gift humanity has in common yet which is all too often violated-situations in which there is a mismatch between aspiration and actuality."
-Anne Tomlinson, Scottish Episcopal Institute, Edinburgh, UK
