“Dr. Beth-Sarah Wright uses her giftedness as a storyteller to speak clearly about dignity, allowing those who seek authenticity to have a concrete and sensible model to follow. . . . She invites readers into the bold work of courageously naming what needs to be named to facilitate healing and then to keep moving toward building authentic community." —Catherine Meeks, PhD, co-author, Passionate for Justice: Ida B. Wells as Prophet for Our Time, and Executive Director, Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing

“The tenets of Dignity are an investment in healthy relationships and genuine community. You will find within these pages a framework for positive change and growth no matter the setting.”—Klaas Baks, Professor in the Practice of Finance; Executive Director, Center for Alternative Investments, Emory University

"Dignity is an inviting, positive, but also challenging assessment of the ways we can live up to what we say we do as institutions. It is grounded in story, not only the story of a particular chapter in the life of an institution, but how our individual and collective stories reflect our identities, in all of their diversity, complexity, and power. I am confident that this book will help many schools, churches, and other organizations both understand and more fully embrace what they are called to do in the living of these days."—The Rev. Daniel R. Heischman, D.D., Executive Director, National Association of Episcopal Schools
