Obama attends memorial service at UU church

posted by Sonja L. Cohen

The UUs in the Media blog will be on holiday until January 9, but I just couldn't let this bit of news wait until then.

President-elect Barack Obama and his family attended a memorial service for his maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, on Tuesday at the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu. The hour-long service was
followed by a private ceremony to scatter Dunham's ashes. (CNN.com - 12.24.08, Chicago Tribune - 12.24.08)
