its wild that "treat people with basic dignity" became a radical political position. i remember when it was just called "not being a dick." we used to have that

Our baptismal covenant in the #EpiscopalChurch includes the following:

Q. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
A. I will, with God's help

We fail continually, but that's a vow we reaffirm at least 3 times/year
