“If we can call what for us is nature, ‘God’s creation’, we have already invoked its immanent transcendence. We have then recognized the Creator’s right to what [God] has created. And in so doing, we have also acknowledged the rights of our fellow creatures themselves, rights which exist quite apart from their value for us. We become aware of what they mean for God. We sense that God ‘feels’ and ‘experiences’ what [God] has created in [God’s] own way: the way of eternal love.”
-Jürgen Moltmann, The Spirit of Life, pg. 36
