FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE 1 Unitarian Group Completes Year; Announce Meeting ' Ashland The Unitarian fel lowship of Ashland recently com pleted its first year. The fellow ship was organized by a group of Ashland residents who felt there was a need in this area for a church of liberal religion. It is afiliated with the American Unitarian association whose headquarters are in Boston, and the Pacific Coast Unitarian council with offices in Berkeley. Over 400 Years Although the Unitarian move ment had its beginning more than 400 years ago, it is not as well known as most other de nominations, except perhaps in the New England states. How ever, many famous American . leaders, such as Thomas Jeffer son, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Susan B. Anthony, were Uni tarians. ' t ' ' One of 137 1 The local fellowship is one of 137 similar organizations which have been formed throughout the United States since 1948 in communities where the member ship is not large enough to support-its own church. Free Discussion j The local unit meets on the first and third Sundays of each month in the homes of members in Ashland and Medford. Pro grams usually consist of free dis cussion of controversial religious and social problems or the read ing of sermons. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hansen, 525 B street, Ashland, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21. The program will have a Thanksgiving theme and the sermon "American Faith and Destiny'.' will be read. All meet ings are open to anyone inter ested.
