"The gift of creation has resulted in millions of species of astonishing variety, including the human species.... When seen through the lens of creation faith, all of these millions of different creatures have a radical relationship with their Creator.  All share the identify of being cherished by God, whose very essence is love." -- from Come, Have Breakfast by Elizabeth Johnson.  (Orbis Books)
