"Since all creation has its common source in God, a profound interdependence exists among all of creation. We are but a single part of a vast and interconnected community of creation in relationship to God and each part is valuable in itself. When we value the environment in this way we choose life for the environment and its creatures."

- Sr. Glora L. Schaab, from "Christian lenses on the environment," published on Global Sisters Report
