From othering to reverencing all persons and all God's creation

Othering perceives or portrays someone as fundamentally different — "not one of us." It is treating people from another group as less human than one's own group or one person or group feeling they are better than another person or group.

My faith helped me embrace the goodness that Marie brought into my life amid the too-numerous hospital stays and doctor visits. Loving and caring for her was one of my greatest gifts from our God.
