June 23, 2013 Bud Hearn, guest speaker

“THE BIBLE AND HUMANISM”, is the topic for Sunday’s message at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs.  Rev. Bud Hearn explores the Humanistic stream in both Testaments.    He reminds us that, “Eclipsed in the Bible is its humanistic stream. Perhaps due to the fact that when the church “raised” Jesus to the “Christ” such overshadowed Jesus as a humanist.
