'Scripture allows me to claim that I am more than an invisible node in the indistinguishable mass of humanity. It affirms my particularity, makes it possible for me to believe myself to be seen and known, with a specific part only I can play, but it also humbles me. I can only begin to make sense as part of something bigger, an organ in a living body, a daughter in a family.'
Elizabeth Oldfield, Fully Alive, p.134.
