Restoring Human Dignity         Rev. Ernie Mills

The journey to the restoration of the inherent worth and dignity of every person began in the Renaissance with such works as, “Oration on the Dignity of Man” by Giovanni Pico. It continued on through the Enlightenment with a frontal attack on the dogma of “Original Sin”.  Our first principle offers us an alternative view to the belief that we humans are inherently corrupt and in need of a gruesome sacrifice to be “saved.” But we all know how challenging it can sometimes be to put this principle into practice- perhaps even when it comes to ourselves.
