I support Laurel Hallman for the UUA presidency because I know that she cherishes the humanist strand of our Unitarian Universalist heritage as essential to the diversity at foundation of our movement,and she will not allow it to be discounted or discarded.I have benefited personally from the clarity of her wisdom and spiritual maturity, including her appreciation for the metaphorical nature of all religious language.

Laurel understands the importance of image and narrative in our pursuit of spiritual maturity, as well as the need for communities of covenant to give form to our faith.

My Fellow Unitarian Universalists, in July, we were all shocked and saddened by the tragic shooting at the Tennessee Valley UU Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. As a Unitarian Universalist, I found profound healing and comfort in the rapid response and pastoral presence on the scene of our UUA President, Bill Sinkford. To me, there is no more important function, no more important role, of the President of our Association than that of spiritual leader.
And that is why I wholeheartedly endorse Laurel Hallman to be our next President. I can imagine no one more qualified to serve as our spiritual leader; there is no one whom I would rather have responding to a pastoral crisis, comforting the bereaved, dealing with the media, or speaking for all of us, as Unitarian Universalists, in a crisis, than Laurel Hallman.
As I look to the future of our movement -- as I consider the spiritual challenges we will be facing in the years to come -- I am now more confident than ever that Laurel Hallman is the right person to lead us into that future together.

In faith and optimism,

Rev. Bill Gupton
