OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD DEFINES, AND DIGNIFIES, US ALL

'...when I look around, my neighbour is also always somebody who is already in relation with God before they're in relation with me. That means that there's a very serious limit on my freedom to make of my neighbour what I choose, because, to put it very bluntly, they don't belong to me, and their relation to me is not all that is true of them, or even the most important thing that is true of them.' 
Rowan Williams, Being Human: Bodies, minds, persons, p.37.
