Local media coverage of UUA General Assembly

posted by Christopher L. Walton

Both daily newspapers in Salt Lake City published articles today about yesterday's interfaith rally for immigrant families sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association. Both papers quoted the Roman Catholic, Episcopal, and Unitarian Universalist leaders who spoke at the rally. The Mormon Church-owned Deseret News, however, did not mention Larry Love, the Mormon congregational leader who described the arrest and pending deportation of his Guatemalan wife.

  • Interfaith rally points to spiritual side of immigration debate (Salt Lake Tribune 6.27.09)

  • Religious groups show support for immigrants (Deseret News 6.27.09)


  • KSL-TV reported, meanwhile, on the thunderstorm that ripped the UUA's banner from the front entry tower of the Salt Palace convention center: Northern Utah hit by quick-moving thunderstorm (KSL-TV 6.26.09).
