Art Lester left his native USA forty years ago. After working at village level in Botswana, Kenya and the Dominican Republic for European agencies, he settled in the UK, where he trained as a Unitarian minister. He led churches in London, the Southeast of Britain and Dublin before being appointed at Croydon Unitarians, where he has been for 12 years. During the last 21 years, he has been a frequent visiting minister at UUFP. He thinks of the Paris Fellowship almost as a second congregation.
He is the author of seven books, including the award-winning Seeing with Your Ears. His most recent book is Letters in a Bottle, available on Amazon.com. He lives in Croydon with his wife, Gilly Fraser, a playwright and TV script writer.
