Wassmuth Center’s mission:  "To promote respect for human dignity and diversity through education and to foster individual responsibility to work for peace and justice."  At the heart of our mission is the idea of "dignity".  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "the recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world."  Inherent dignity means that we are all born with it—we don't earn it through power or privilege.  Honoring dignity in ourselves and in others, seeing our shared humanity, even in those we don't agree with, is a cornerstone of peace and justice.  It is also incredibly difficult at times.
