The Biblical witness says that God created this world, created humanity and put us in charge of caring for it and for each other.

It also describes us as being members of one body with many functions. But every member is designed to function for the wellbeing of the whole.

We have been sent into the world and called to be the neighbor to any and everyone, even people who would not do the same for us.
