From the Paper:

"To be created in the image of God means to be, in all ways possible, like He is. In the Bible it is written, "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man" (1 Corinthians 11:7). This passage infers that man should not be ashamed of who he is because he is created in the image of the creator of the world, and in this there can be no shame. Reverend Dennis Duncan contends that some believe the passages from the Bible that speak of man being created in God's image refer to His physical form (Duncan). Yet, Duncan clarifies to his readers that the "image" is in reference to what is inside of a human being."
