Lorraine Barrett AM quits Welsh Assembly to spend more time with the BHA!

16 February, 2009

Lorraine Barrett AM, BHA Distinguished supporter, has announced that she will not be seeking re-selection for the next Assembly elections in 2011, and intends to concentrate her time on developing her work as a Humanist Celebrant

Ms Barrett said, ‘I have taken this decision because I trained last Summer, with the British Humanist Association, as a Humanist Celebrant and I now conduct Humanist or non-religious funeral ceremonies.  It is going very well and I get huge satisfaction in being able to do something so special for families at the most difficult time of their lives.’

‘I want to expand and develop my work as a celebrant to do baby-namings, weddings and civil partnerships.’

Notes

The British Humanist Association (BHA) is the national charity supporting and representing non-religious people who seek to lead ethical lives without supernatural or superstitious beliefs. The BHA is also renowned for its humanist funerals, weddings, namings and other non-religious ceremonies.
