'God created all things with forms. When created, formed by God, these creatures were perfect - the shape of every creature, whether an ocean or a lion or a human being, was all good, all Godward, all lovely. But in the present era, after the Fall and before the consummation of God's redemption, none of the things God formed is wholly good. We have lost some of our goodness; it has vanished into absence and curvature. We are all still formed as God formed us, but now our forms are distorted and our actions sometimes perverse.'
Lauren F Winner, The Dangers of Christian Practice, p.4.
