“The principle of transfiguration says nothing, no one and no situation, is “untransfigurable,” that the whole of creation, nature, waits expectantly for its transfiguration, when it will be released from its bondage and share in the glorious liberty of the children of God, when it will not be just dry inert matter but will be translucent with divine glory.”

–Desmond Tutu, from “Chapter 1: God Believes in Us” in God Has a Dream: A Vision of Hope for Our Time
