Huntsville UU Services
Sunday, May 12, 10:30 AM, Laura Chapel at HMH:
Dr. Frank Schulman's sermon will be "The Ten Commandments--What Value Do They Have Today?" According to Dr. Schulman, "The Ten Commandments were written about 2,600 years ago. They omit so much that is needed now, about business ethics, international relations, economic rules, cloning, and such. They are good rules, but are they sufficient for our day? Or have we outgrown them? The sermon will discuss some of the history of the Ten Commandments and some points you may never have noticed."
Ancient Reading: Deuteronomy 5: 1-21
Modern Reading: from "Theism" by Francis William Newman
