The homework assignment for this week is to write our own ethical ten commandments. There’s a joke that UUs believe in the Ten Suggestions, or, alternately, that they’d agree to consider the Ten Commandments if they were scheduled to come up for a vote at the next annual conference. I’m not even a Christian but that stretches it for me. If nothing else this class is teaching me that I really am a stodgy old dinosaur in the UU church.
