Dear friends and members of
the Fellowship,
We
have an interesting speaker scheduled for our first meeting in the new year.
Please mark your calendars.
Sunday January 10
3:00 to 5:00 (join us for
supper afterwards)
International House 国際文化会館(see their website for directions)
Michael Berman,
researcher (religious studies/anthropology) and Ph.d candidate at Univ of
California, San Diego.
”Working to Relate: Religion, Care, and
Alienation in Contemporary Japan.”
A high number of suicides and
the "lonely deaths" of people who die alone without family, along
with various issues associated with a dwindling birth rate have led many
reporters to refer to contemporary Japan as a "relation-less" society
In this presentation,
Berman will talk about some of the challenges of working to relate to
other people in contemporary Japan, including challenges that come from within
the particular ways that people are working to care for each other.
Peggy Kanada, moderator
