UUA Presidential Election

This summer at General Assembly, congregational delegates will have a chance to choose a President from two candidates, Rev. Laurel Hallman and Rev. Peter Morales.

As UUA staff, I stay out of the fray. But on Tuesday night I got to attend a Board meeting of the UUs of Santa Clarita Valley in PSWD, and I was so impressed with the careful thoughtfulness they gave in deciding which candidate their two delegate votes should go for.

The Board members had read information about the candidates ahead of time, asked questions of their minister who had heard both speak at a forum, and then pretty much came to consensus on who to support. It was refreshing watch them help shape the future of our religious institution. Way to go, UUSCV!

Well whoever of the two UUA presidential candidates is elected as the next President of the UUA I sincerely hope that they will move swiftly to take concrete steps to bring long overdue hope, healing, and genuine restorative justice to any and all victims of any and all forms of clergy misconduct perpetrated by "less than excellent" U*U ministers.
