Usual Place: International House of Japan 国際文化会館

Near Roppongi and Azabu-Juban stations. Parking available.

See their website for directions.



Our new member Matthew Smith will give a talk  "Unitarians Outside of North America."


Matt (with his wife Susan) have been active for many years not only in Unitarian churches in the United States but with several overseas and expat fellowships during his assignments abroad.  He has been a religious educator and teen leader, as well as as a small group facilitator. Matt led the executive committee of the large UU expat Congregation of Paris. He will share some of his personal and family experiences.   And he will include some of the lessons he has learned about how to nourish and perhaps grow our UFT. Groups like ours he says have unique challenges around theological identity, lay ministry and how to build a connected community.

Join us for the talk and under Matt's leadership to sing "Spirit of Life" and to explore some widely practiced Unitarian rituals of autumn--the season of giving and thanksgiving-- and together to  share briefly our  joys and concerns.


Your moderator,

Peggy Kanada
