Laurel Hallman: 'From two hard-working campaigns back into one free faith'

The Rev. Dr. Laurel Hallman, minister-at-large of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, thanked her supporters and congratulated UUA President-Elect Peter Morales, who defeated her in the June 27 election at the 2009 General Assembly in Salt Lake City.

"I will be happy to put [the campaign] behind me now," Hallman said at an election celebration at 10:00 Saturday night, "to regather our liberal religious movement together from two hard-working campaigns back into one free faith, one association of free congregations, all of us united by our love for Unitarian Universalism."
