Please join us on Sunday (4 June 2017) at 11:00 AM for “The Importance of Human Rights Advocacy” by John Hodge.
We are delighted to welcome Shreveport attorney and human rights advocate John Hodge back to our pulpit.
He says of his sermon:
Our Creator bestowed upon all human beings certain inalienable rights which are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government. Although human rights are endowed by our Creator, it is the responsibility of all peoples to protect them as they are under constant attack. God has given every human being dignity and demands that every person respect the dignity of others. The sermon will explore current challenges to human rights and ways to protect them.
Mr. Hodge is a past recipient of the All Souls Emerson Award for his defense of LGBTQ rights and First Amendment rights, as well as the Don Matthys Memorial Human Rights Award for his defense of LGBTQ rights.
Laurie Lyons will serve as our worship associate and the All Souls Choir will sing.
Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then depart for their summer fun activity — Origami with Richard Denton and friends.
