PREFACE
For more than sixty years the Japan Christian
Yearbook and its predecessor, the Christian Move
ment in Japan, have furnished annual reports of the
progress of Christianity in Japan. To a very large
degree these volumes have been ecumenical in scope
and thus inclusive of the concern of all denominations,
missions and other Christian agencies. Though the
aim has always been to provide comprehensive and
objective treatment of the various phases of the Gospel
enterprise in Japan, in more recent years the material
has become somewhat limited in scope. In fact
limitations of space due to rising costs of publication,
have precluded an adequate treatment of some of the
most important phases of the Christian movement.
With this and other important considerations in mind,
the editorial staff has prepared a Yearbook for 1964
which covers all types of work and includes certain
features which have not been found in the more
recent issues. This enlarged scope and increased
cost of production have necessitated an increase in
the price from ¥500 to ¥800 per copy. It is hoped
that the 1964 volume will merit the cordial support
of all missionaries, mission boards, and other Christian
agencies throughout the world and thereby avoid
further price increases.
As the list of contributors reveals, a large number
of individuals, representing a wide range of Christian
concern, have contributed their services to the pre
paration of the 1964 Yearbook. Without their de
dicated interest and help the prompt publication of the
present volume would have been quite impossible.
It is with heartfelt appreciation, therefore, that the
editor acknowledges his debt of gratitude to all who
have helped in any way to forward this rather arduous
task. Section editors and writers, not to mention
the compilers of directories, have put a great deal
of time and effort into gathering material and preparing
it for pbublication. We trust that the results of
their labors, as they appear in this volume, will be
fully appreciated by the readers and be greatly con
ducive to the furtherance of the cause of Christ in
Japan. Wherein any faults are apparent may it be
remembered "that a need seen is a call to prayer."
Except where otherwise indicated, the respective
writers of the articles are alone responsible for the
views expressed. Their opinions doubtless represent
earnest convictions and as such are worthy of expres
sion. It will doubtless be noted that this issue con
tains some reference to non-Christian or quasi-Christian
groups. It should be clearly understood that this
is solely by way of record and in no sense an endorse
ment of views which are an aberration from the
verities of the Christian faith.
In order to facilitate ready reference, the usual
Report section has been eliminated and the material
incorporated in the relevant articles. These have been
arranged in four major sections, with a well qualified
editor assigned to each. In view of the fact that
certain topics have not received adequate treatment
in recent years, and also in the interest of a broader
ecumenicity, considerable background material is in
cluded to supplement the account of developments in
1963.
Owing to the great proliferation of Protestant de
nominations since World War II it is obviously
impossible to include a narrative report from each.
iii
In recent years such material has had chiefly to do
with the larger denominations with long historical
antecedents in Japan. Thus information concerning
all the churches has been mainly restricted to the
statistical tables. The present volume, however, in
cludes an extensive account of a large number of
groups by " denominational families," with only the
largest denominations treated as such. In addition,
there is a directory of denominational headquarters,
which includes the statistics of the number of churches
in each group, membership and the number of Japan
ese ministers and affiliated missionaries also indicated.
With a number of groups failing to report annual
statistics, and also refusing to reply to such inquiries,
certain inaccuracies may be found and more accurate
information will be welcome. Some of the larger
denominations had the courage to purge their rolls in
1963, with the result that considerable membership
losses are apparent in certain cases.
Limitations of space and other considerations have
made it advisable to omit from this Yearbook the
section known as Who's Who in the Japanese Pro
testant Church. Actually, this has been a very partial
selection of names from the Who's Who of the Kirisuto
Shimbun Nenkan, with the bulk of the relevant in
formation in each case omitted. Without such infor
mation it is difficult for most readers to understand
the importance of the individuals mentioned. In place
of the Who's Who it was thought best to publish
the directories of Christian denominations, schools,
social work and other important agencies, which have
not been included in recent years. It may well be
that a more comprehensive Who's Who will be made
a special feature of one of the future issues of the
Yearbook. The names and addresses of many of the
iv
more important figures of Japanese Protestantism will
be found in the current directories.
The necrological report known as In Memoriam,
prepared so faithfully and accurately for many years
by Dr. A.J. Stirewalt, is also omitted from the 1964
volume. The report in the 1963 issue actually in
cluded the compilations for three years and it was
thus felt that this should at least be postponed until
after the regular presentation at the annual meeting
of the Fellowship of Christian Missionaries. It has
also been suggested that this report should include
reference to deceased Japanese ministers and other
workers.
In compiling the directories much information has
been gleaned from the 1964 Kirisuto Shimbun Nenkan.
However, in the case of denominations, mission
societies and missionaries, much up-to-date informa
tion has also been graciously furnished by the respon
sible headquarters. Practically all mission societies have
corrected the current lists of their missionaries, in
dicating those on furlough and furnishing other im
portant information. The most difficult problem has
been in the case of independent missionaries who
have failed to give notification of change of address
or withdrawal from the field. Thus, it will be well
for any independent missionnotaries listed to notify
the office of the Interboard Committee for Christian
Work in Japan, Rm. 802, Seishokan, 2, Ginza 4-
chome, Chuo Ku, Tokyo, indicating their present
whereabouts. In view of the fact that there are some
address changes in the autumn, it may be possible
to compile a small supplement for circulation through
the Japan Christian Quarterly, or other means. Re
vision of the present directory will be made much
simpler if all mission societies will notify the above
mentioned office of all changes of address. In ac
cordance with the usual practice only earned doctorates
are indicated in this volume.
In a volume such as this, printed in a land where
English is often imperfectly understood by printers,
errors and omissions are inevitable in spite of much
proof reading. No one regrets their appearance more
than those who have labored early and late to eliminate
them. Thus, the Christian patience and forbearance
of the reader is earnestly craved, as well as kind
assistance that such mistakes may be more effectively
guarded against in future issues.
It is the earnest hope and prayer of the editor that
the 1964 Japan Christian Yearbook will serve in some
small measure to acquaint the many sympathetic read
ers with the need of Japan and the state of the
Christian Church ; and to elicit their earnest prayer
that the day may soon come when Christ shall be
widely known and acknowledged as Savior and Lord-

PART I. 1963 IN REVIEW
Editor : Raymond Hammer
CHAPTER 1
A REVIEW OF POLITICAL EVENTS
1963—1964
Masaru Ogawa
Japan's political climate remained mild through
1963 and into 1964, despite the fact that both local
and national elections were held during that period.
The problems were present as in past years, but no
single issue captured the popular imagination ;
I. INTERNATIONAL ISSUES
The calm prevailing in Japanese politics was in
many ways a reflection of the international scene.
Indeed, in this rapidly shrinking world, international
political developments are mirrored to such an extent
on the local stage that it is becoming more and more
difficult to single out purely domestic issues
1. Thaw in Cold War
We may say that the overall temperate atmosphere
in Japanese political circles during the period under
review merely reflected to a great degree the cooling
off of the tension between the East-West protagonists.
The one event which contributed more than any
1963 IN REVIEW
other to the easing of the "cold war" rivalry was
the signing in July of the treaty for a partial ban on
the testing of nuclear weapons by the United States,
Britain and the Soviet Union. To this treaty, most
of the nations of the world — with the notable excep
tion of Communist China and France — gave their
wholehearted concurrence. After an initial hesitation
over the "partial" nature of the agreement, Japan,
too, hastily moved to give its full support. The es
tablishment of a direct communications link between
Washington and Moscow meant that the accidental
touching off of a war between the two nations could
be prevented, and this too, met with approval.
2. Repercussion of World Communist Rift
While these fruitful developments towards "peaceful
coexistence" were taking place, the rift between the
Soviet Union and Communist China became increas
ingly apparent and acute. The Russian agreement
to the partial test ban treaty was viewed in Peiping
as a Soviet capitulation to the West, and the ideo
logical debate between the two great champions of
the Communist world rushed headlong toward an open
However, it also became clear during the year
that the real issue was not ideology alone but represent
ed a realistic clash over national interests.
The rupture in the world Communist front had
trong repercussions in Japan where the leftist forces
tried to remain neutral but found themselves gradual-
' driven to taking sides. By the end of 1963, the
Japan Communist Party was quite firmly entrenched
the Communist Chinese camp. This internal pre
occupation of the political opposition with the Sino-So-
: controversy contributed to the low pitch of Japan's
PORI11CAL EVENTS 3
political activities.
3. Reactions to the Assassination of President Kennedy
The past year also had its share of tragedy. And
the Japanese people were shocked and dismayed by
the brutal assassination of the President of the United
States, John F. Kennedy, on November 23. The
immediate reaction was one of disbelief and horror,
followed by deep sorrow over the loss of a great
statesman who was on the threshold of contributing
so much to world peace. Prime Minister Hayato
Ikeda and Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ohira were
hurriedly dispatched to Washington to attend the
funeral rites.
4. Results of French Recognition of Peiping Regime
One of the significant developments of the period be
ing reviewed was the recognition accorded Communist
China by the French Government in January, 1964.
Japan's political leaders were shaken by this move,
which caused them to rethink the Japanese position
toward Peiping. The net result was a reaffirmation
of the existing policy which includes diplomatic and
political nonrecognition, on the one hand, and on the
other, the promotion of trade — while keeping eco
nomics separate from politics. The French Govern
ment sent Prime Minister Georges Pompidou and
Foreign Minister Couve de Murville on a visit to
Japan to explain its decision to recognize Communist
China and to reassure the Japanese leaders it meant
only the French reappraisal of an existing situation.
The French views were politely received and tucked
away for future reference.

5. Strained Relations With Taipei
Japan's relations with the Government in Taipei
came precariously near the breaking point over an in
cident involving a Red Chinese visitor to Japan, who
defected and after seeking asylum in the Soviet Em
bassy changed his mind and decided to return to Pei-
ping. The case, handled with restraint by Japanese
authorities, dragged on for several months before the
would-be defector was sent back to Communist China
in early January, 1964.
In the meantime, the Nationalist Chinese ambas
sador to Japan was recalled to Taipei. The naming
of a successor hinged upon whether or not Japan was
willing to dispatch the Foreign Minister to Taiwan.
The Japanese contended that the ambassador should
be named and stationed in Tokyo before the Foreign
Minister could be sent.
The recall of the ambassador was actually a kind
t protest to show Taipei's growing displeasure with
; policy of increasing trade with Communist
In fact earlier in the year a Japanese firm
had promised to export a vinylon plant to Communist
nna on long-term credits. This was in keeping
the growing prospects of closer business relations
between Japan and Red China.
Japanese leaders felt quite confident that Nationalist
China, being m need of every assistance it could
am, would not take the extreme and final step of
breaking diplomatic relations with Japan. In truth
Japan should ever follow the French lead and
c° chinese regime> * "
As matters stand, the official Japanese position,
POLITICAL EVENTS 5
made known by the Foreign Office in March, 1964,
is that it will continue to support the Taipei Govern
ment and will not give recognition to the Peiping
regime. This means that Japan will back the Nation
alist position in the United Nations. It will however,
maintain trade relations with the Communist Chinese
under the principle of separating politics and economics.
Incidentally, Red China has made known its views
that relations cannot be restricted to trade alone ;
but it has also added that it understands the Japanese
position.
6. Problem of Rapprochement with South Korea
The past year also saw the continuation of the
marathon talks to find a basis for the normalization
of relations between Japan and the Republic of
Korea. The leaders of the two nations are now
agreed upon the desirability of opening up normal
channels of contact at an early date, but the
events of the past year gave little hope for an early
settlement.
The talks were held up last year by the parlia
mentary and presidential elections in South Korea
and by the general elections in Japan. In both
countries, the political forces committed to a rap
prochement were presumably given the popular man
date—with Gen. Chung Hee Park elected to the
presidency in South Korea and the conservative Li
beral-Democratic Party, under the leadership of Prime
Minister Ikeda, maintaining its majority in the Japan
ese Diet.
Actually, the Japan-ROK talks did not come to the
fore as a vital election issue in the Japanese general
elections, primarily because the negotiations were still
1963 IN REVIEW
far from a decisive stage. This being the situation,
the political forces of the left were unable to mobilize
opposition to the normalization talks. Throughout the
year, the popular reaction to the rapprochement efforts
has been lukewarm at best in Japan. This is in
contrast to South Korea where the political opposition
to the negotiations is quite intense with student riots
breaking out on several occasions in April, 1964.
Negotiations during the past year were mainly centered
on the two problems of the compensation to be paid
to Korea and Japan's fishing interests vis a vis the
"Rhee" line.
Opponents of the Japan-ROK negotiations, in the
meantime, argued that normalization of relations with
South Korea would shut the door on future prospects
of reaching an accord with North Korea. It was
contended, moreover, that the Japanese move would
serve to finalize the division of Korea and to obstruct
prospects for a unified Korea. Another strong argu
ment, put forth by the leftists, was that the restora
tion of normal relations between Japan and South
orea would be the first step toward an anti-Com-
military alliance between Japan, ROK and
Nationalist China, which, in turn, would strengthen
the United States position in the Far East.
Basic to the Japan-ROK situation are the deep-root-
Korean suspicion and hatred toward the Japanese
the feeling of contempt held by many Japanese
toward the Koreans. This is a product of Japan's
>lonial rule of 40 years over the Korean peninsula
t is also true that South Korea is in desperate
the economic assistance which Japan alone
could supply. At the same time, Japan, for its part
-equires the development of new markets for the pro-
s of its growing economic structure.

II. INTERNAL ISSUES
1. Ratification of ILO Convention 87
One of the livelier political issues of the year was
the debate on the proposed ratification of International
Labor Organization Convention 87. This covention
would allow non-employes, or outsiders, to become
officials of labor unions. While this is a common
practice in most Western countries, it has never been
adopted in Japan where union officials must also be
bona fide employes.
For the past four years, the Japanese Government
has been sidestepping ILO demands for speedy action
to ratify this convention. Japan's reluctance was
based mainly on the fear that professional Communist
organizers might, in the role of "outside union of
ficials," take complete control of union activities.
Yet, as a result of pressure from the ILO headquarters
in Geneva, the Government has in fact resigned itself
to the ratification of the convention. As precautionary
measures to lessen the effects of labor unions becom
ing more militant, Government and Liberal-Democratic
party leaders have proposed amendments to several
of the existing domestic labor laws.
The "tie-in" legislation proposed by the conserva
tives includes the following :
1. Employes upon becoming union officials must
give up their employe status ;
2. Union dues will not be collected for the union
directly from the pay envelopes ;
3. Teachers in the local public service, holding
supervisory posts, such as principals and assistant
principals, must resign from the Japan Teachers
Union ; and
8 1963 IN REVIEW
4. A Personnel Bureau will be set up in the
Cabinet to administer and coordinate personnel
matters concerning public servants.
The Socialists and the General Council of Japan
Trade Unions (Sohyo) have, on the other hand, de
manded the following :
1. Collective bargaining rights should be given to
public servants ;
2. The Japan Teachers Union should be given
recognition as a legitimate labor organization ; and
3. Public servants should be given the right to
strike.
In July, a compromise plan was worked out between
the Labor Minister Tadao Kuraishi, Socialist Party
executive Mitsu Kono and Sohyo leaders. All three
parties, however, came out later with their own vers
ion of the "accord," and it still remains to be seen
whether decisive action will be taken on the ILO bills
submitted to the Diet last year end.
However, the latest developments in April, 1964,
are a bit more encouraging. The House of 'Repre
sentatives moved to form a special ILO committee of
Liberal-Democrats, Socialists and Democratic-Socialists
to facilitate the passage of the ILO Convention 87
and the four related domestic bills. At the same time,
the Government has accepted the dispatch to Japan
fact-finding mission from the ILO headquarters.
)ther tender spots have been the standing request
of the United States to allow its atomic submarines
operating in Pacific Ocean waters to call at Japanese
and the controversies stemming from the scrutiny
the Japanese Constitution by the Constitution Re
search Council.
POLITICAL EVENTS 9
2. Opposition to Visits of American Atomic Subs
American authorities, in pressing for Japanese con
currence on the visit of their atomic submarines, have
stressed the absolute safety of the underwater vessels
powered by atomic energy. Japanese officials have
generally agreed on the safety factor, but fearing the
inevitable public outcry in this atom-shy country,
they have shelved the issue for the time being with
American concurrence. Actually, the opposition to
the visit is based not so much upon the danger of
an atomic submarine exploding in port but more on
the fear of expanding the scope of Japan's role as an
American military base in the Far East. Although
the Japanese Government maintained silence on the
issue throughout the year, leftist circles have continued
to voice their strong objections.
3. The Constitution Revision Issue
The central question around which the Constitution
revision issue revolved during the past year was whe
ther the supreme law of the land was foisted upon
the Japanese people or whether it completely reflected
the popular feeling at the time of its adoption. One
time Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in
Japan, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, who might have
shed valuable light on the subject, died in April, 1964,
without answering any of the questions which could
have clarified matters.
It would seem, however, that the most important
issue is whether or not the Constitution suits the
present status of Japan and is now acceptable to the
majority of the Japanese people. But the political
lines have been drawn and they present the ironic
10 1963 IN REVIEW
situation of the conservatives, who supported the
Constitution when it was first adopted, asking for a
change, and the progressives, who originally opposed
it, now calling for the maintenance of the status quo.
The provision causing the greatest controversy is, of
course, the "no- war" clause. While this issue re
mained mostly in the background last year, more
will be heard of this question in the future.
4. Local Elections
The year was marked by the holding of two sets of
local elections on April 17 and 30, 1962, and a gene
ral election on November 21 of the same year. El
ections would ordinarily be an occasion for a flurry
of political activities and the public discussion of major
issues of the moment, both local and national. The
elections last year, however, were carried out at an
extremely low pitch. Indicative of this was the fact
that the voter turnout was the second lowest among
postwar elections.
In the April local elections, 46,951 public posts
from governors down to village assemblymen were
The Liberal-Democratic Party campaigned on
the slogan of "a local administration directly connected
with the central government," while the Socialist
Party urged voters to cast their ballots for "a local
administration which would be in the hands of the
people.' Being the party in power, the Liberal-De
mocrats reminded the people at local levels it would
serve their interests to have public officials who would
i to present their case to the central government.
ciahsts, on the other hand, stressed the need for
more local autonomy.
The election results generally favored the the Liber-
POLITICAL EVENTS 11
al- Democratic Party, but the Socialist Party also show
ed surprising grass-root strength. The campaigns
carried out by the political parties also had the effect
of increasing party consciousness at a local level,
whereas, in the past, the local elections had been
characterized by the success of candidates who were
independent of party affiliations. Another character
istic, especially noticeable in the gubernatorial elec
tions, was the reelection of incumbents, some of
whom were running for their fourth and fifth terms.
Each term being four years long, that meant that
some governors would be serving for more than 16
years in the same post. A move is going on in the
Diet to restrict the number of years a governor may
serve consecutively.
Much of the national interest in the elections was
centered on the gubernatorial race in Tokyo because
of the Olympic Games to be held in the autumn of
1964, and because it marked a frontal clash between
the Liberal -Democrats and Socialists in the largest
city in the world. After a hectic election campaign,
the incumbent, Gov. Ryotaro Azuma, won fairly easily
over his Socialist opponent. The support given him
by Soka Gakkai contributed to his success.
5. General Election
As for the November general election, it was one
of the dullest in the postwar period. Many factors
contributed to the peoples' disinterest which was re
flected in the poll turnout of only 71.14 per cent of
the registered voters — the second lowest since the
war's end. For one thing, there was a lack of central
issues. Or, to put it another way, Prime Minister
Jkeda's ruling party did not take a strong position on
12 1963 IN REVIEW
questions which might have aroused public interest,
such as the revision of the Constitution, the U. S.
atomic submarines and the Japan-ROK talks. The
progressive parties, on the other hand, failed to capi
talize on these issues, and did not fully utilize the
one problem on which they could have won a broad
public hearing — the great increase in consumer prices.
But it was also apparent that the leftist forces were
quite shaken and disorganized as a result of their
bewilderment over the unexpected developments in
the Sino-Soviet controversy and of the growing rival
ry between the Socialists and Communists. While
the Japan Communist Party swung almost fully into
the Communist Chinese camp, the Socialist Party
was beset with factional differences which basically
arose from their confusion over the interpretation of
their Marxist ideology.
Likewise, within the Liberal -Democratic Party, fac
tional strife showed no signs of diminishing, despite
the outward acceptance of the recommendations made
to dissolve all factions within the party. Although
the party entered the election campaign with all fac
tions presumedly abolished, the November election was
called cynically— but not without reason— the "elec
tion among factions." As it turned out, both the
Liberal -Democrats and the Socialists appeared more
interested in the seats won by the various party fac
tions than in the overall showing of their political
party.
Under such circumstances, it was no wonder that
the voters refused to display enthusiasm. On the
contrary, many citizens expressed their disgust by ab
staining, while others, who may have voted for ei
ther the Liberal-Democrats or the Socialists, turned
to other parties, the Democratic-Socialist and the
POLI'IICAL EVEN IS 13
Communists.
The election results were contrary to the expecta
tions of both the Liberal -Democrats and the Socialists.
The former had hoped to secure more than 300 seats,
while the latter sought to take at least 156 of the
467 Diet posts to enable them to control one-third
of the Lower House strength, and thus be in a posi
tion to defeat any major move by the conservatives,
which would require a two-thirds majority.
As it turned out, the Liberal -Democrats fell 13 be
low their showing in the 1960 general elections and
even lost three from their pre-election total, and the
Socialists were 12 off of their goal of 156. The
surprise gainers were the Democratic-Socialists who
upped their pre-election seats by nine and their 1960
total by six, despite a decreased vote, and the Com
munists who gained two seats.
The following charts show the final results of the
general elections :

The Democratic-Socialists and the Communists were
jubilant over the election results. The Democratic-
Socialists were especially gratified by their unexpected
showing because they were on the point of being
broken up or drastically reorganized had the election
results been disappointing. The Liberal-Democrats,
although being returned again as the majority party,
had to concede their showing was "unexpectedly poor."
The Socialists also admitted defeat and went in for
serious soul-searching for the reasons for their failure.
One of the interesting revelations of the 1963 gener
al elections was the increase in the total votes cast
for progressive candidates. As a matter of fact, the
progressives, including the Socialists, Democratic-So
cialists and the Communists, have been gradually
closing the gap between them and the conservatives
with each election held.

Percentage wise, the progressive forces have almost
doubled their popular vote in the period from 1952
POLITICAL REVIEW 15
to 1963, while the Liberal -Democrats were dropping
12 per cent. If this trend should be projected into
the future, the day is not far distant when the pro
gressives will garner more than half the popular votes.
Aside from these sidelights and the varying fortunes
of the individual political parties, the general elections
of 1963 turned out to be quite inconclusive as far as
any dramatic changes in the overall political fabric
were concerned. With the status quo maintained,
Prime Minister Ikeda was again chosen to head the
government and on December 9, organized his third
Cabinet. The Ikeda Administration thus became the
second longest regime in the postwar history of Japan.
(The longest regime, of course, was the five gover-
ment administration headed by former Prime Minister
Shigeru Yoshida.)
6. Political Parties
a. Liberal Democratic Party
Although it has been able to remain in power
throughout the greater part of the postwar period,
the Liberal-Democratic Party has been constantly beset
by internal feuding. Last year was no exception.
Fully cognizant of the evils of factionalism, conserva
tive leaders took determined measures in 1963 to
eliminate groupings and to bring greater unity to the
party, but, unfortunately, they remain very much in
existence.
With close to 300 members in the Liberal-Demo
cratic Lower House ranks, it is perhaps inevitable
that they should break up into groups. But it is also
a fact that factionalism is at once Prime Minister
Ikeda's weakness and strength. Rival groupings have
all too often tied his hands, preventing him from
16 1963 TN RnVIFAV
taking decisive action. On the other hand, he is
able to maintain himself in power by riding atop
an uneasy balance among the contending factions.
As the ruling party behind the Ikeda Government,
it is outwardly in favor of promoting closer trade
ties with Communist China, of normalizing rela
tions with South Korea, and of seeking a compromise
on the ratification of the ILO Convention 87. But
each one of these policy positions has its factional
opponents among the Liberal-Democratic membership.
As parties within the single party, these rival forces
were at play throughout the year, and they have left
the general impression of a political party which con
siders national interests secondary to factional gains.
b. Socialist Party
The situation within the Japan Socialist Party,
however, was not much better during the period
under review. After months of intraparty bickering,
the leftist anti-leadership faction brought matters to
a head at the February, 1964, party convention by
refusing to participate in the management of party
affairs. By giving up all executive posts to the
rightwing leadership group, the left wing faction gave
notice it would operate as an Opposition within the
party and would contest for party hegemony at the
next convention.
It became quite apparent as the year progressed
that the Socialist Party was facing a major crisis.
The Socialists were faced on one side by the growth
of a middle-class mood among one sector of its erst
while supporters as a result of the continuing economic
prosperity, and, on the other side, by the aggressive
policy of the Communists who were eating away at
their grass-root followers. Potential Socialist sup
porters at the lower echelons ware also being wooed
POLI'IlCAL EVENTS 17
by the Soka-Gakkai, a militant religious organization
with political ambitions, which has now announced
its intention of putting forward 30 candidates for the
next Diet election.
The bitter controversy over structural reform in
1962 left wounds which have not healed. More
basically, a constant struggle — taking the form of
factionalism in its expression within the party — is go
ing on with one group advocating parliamentarianism,
seeking a broad popular base, and negating close ties
with the Communists, and with the other side demand
ing more positive action, including resort to revolution,
adherence to the class party concept, and promotion
of closer ties with the Communists, here and abroad.
These basic ideological differences which were re
sponsible for the secession in October, 1959, of Suehiro
Nishio and his rightwing Socialist colleagues to form
the Democratic-Socialist Party, still remain today.
They were given a new twist and a sense of urgency
with the recent vitality shown by the Communist
party. For one thing, the Minshu Seinen Domei
(Democratic Youth Federation) continued to grow
last year and has proved to be a real challenge to the
growth of Socialist influence among the young people.
For another, despite great differences in the political
strength of the two parties as revealed in the number
of Diet seats (144 to 5) and popular votes (11.9
millon to 1.6 million), the Socialists have discovered
that Communists are far superior in mobilizing their
grass-root followers. Joint demonstrations conducted
with the Communists on the anti-atomic bomb move
ment in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Shizuoka proved
this conclusively to the Socialists. The result has
been that the Socialists have had to hold separate
meetings to prevent the Communists from taking
18 1%3 IN REVIEW
complete charge of such events. More recently, the
Socialists have made known their intention of keeping
such movements free of political influence. This is,
of course, as it should be, for politics should have
no place in this protest against man's inhumanity a-
gainst man.
c. Communist Party
For the Japan Communist Party, 1963 was a mo
mentous year. As the year progressed the local
Communists viewed with increasing concern the pro
gressive alienation between Communist China and
the Soviet Union. Wooed by both the Chinese and
the Soviets, the Japanese Communists attempted dur
ing the first part of the year to remain aloof, but
with pressure increasing from Peiping and Moscow,
they were forced to make a decision. That step was
taken when the Japan Communist Party in October
went on record against the Moscow nuclear test ban
treaty. It was inevitable in a way that the Japanese
Communists should step firmly into the Peiping camp
because of the geographic proximity, the cultural and
racial ties and the substantial financial assistance they
have been receiving over the years from Communist
China.
Once the die was cast, the local Communists step
ped up their propaganda barrage, especially against the
Socialists. It was no accident that the Red Chinese
should have early in 1964 issued a statement con
demning the Socialist leadership as being ineffectual.
In fact, Peiping has apparently ruled out the Socialists
as a political bridgehead into Japan and are now
trying to establish closer contacts with "friendly"
elements within the conservative Liberal-Democratic
Party.
One of the strange quirks of this new development
POLITICAL EVENTS 19
is the Communist role in the abortive general strike
which was set for April 17, 1964. Ten days before
the scheduled strike, the Communists informed the
Socialist and Sohyo organizers they were pulling out.
They gave as their reason that the strike would not
have popular backing and that Sohyo was ill-prepared.
But a more logical explanation may be that Com
munist China is desirous at the moment of keeping
the Ikeda Government, which favors trade with Peip-
ing, in power. A crippling blow against Prime Minis
ter Ikeda at this time might bring forth new con
servative leaders who would not be as willing to
open up business ties with Communist China.
Events of the past year have thus disclosed a grow
ing rift between the Socialists and the Communists
in Japan. In many ways, a parallel can be drawn
between this local development and the open break
in Sino-Soviet relations.
d. Ultra- right Groups
In reviewing the Japanese political trends during
1963 and early 1964, mention must be made of the
growing activities of the ultra-right groups. Numeri
cally, the ultra-rightists are of no consequence, totalling
only about 65,000. But since they resort to direct
acts of violence, their political significance cannot be
ruled out as being inconsequential.
During the past year, ultrarightist fanatics attacked
Communist leader Sanzo Nosaka and Prime Minister
Ikeda and destroyed by arson the home of Con
struction Minister Ichiro Kono, an influential con
servative leader. As these attacks reveal, the ultra-
rights struck at both Communists and Liberal-De
mocrats. Being basically anti-Communist, the rightist
attempt on the life of the Communist leader is in
character. Actually, it was for the same basic reason
20 1963 IN REVIEW
that the conservative leaders were assaulted. Prime
Minister Ikeda by advocating trade with Red China
and by assuming a "low posture" in dealing with
the leftists, and Minister Kono by allegedly being
friendly with the Soviet Union were judged to be
pro-Communists. At the same time, there is con
siderable anger against the factionalism and disunity
within the Liberal-Democratic Party, which, according
to the rightists, prevents the conservative forces from
taking a stronger stand against moral corruption and
communism and for a return to the "glories" of
prewar Japan.
In the course of the year, it has been revealed
that the rightists are stepping up their activities with
two target dates in mind. One is the 100th
anniversary of the 1868 Meiji Restoration which will
come in 1968, and the other is the 1970 expiration
date of the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. The ultra-
rightist aim will be to bring about a "Showa Resto-
Showa being the name given to the present
reign of Emperor Hirohito.
The leftist forces are also placing a great deal of
mphasis on the year 1970 when they expect to climax
ieir drive against the conservative influences represented
by the Japan U. S. Security Treaty. The leftists,
>, envision that revolutionary forces— much greater
than the elements mobilized in the 1960 riots— will
be loosed on the nation to bring about a socialist
victory.
With both the extremes of the left and the right
Y planning ahead for their 1970 objectives, the
to come will certainly see them stepping up the
:empo of their activities. Since the activities of one
arouses the reaction of the other side, it can be
predicted that the Japanese nation in the latter half
POLITICAL EVENTS 21
of the 1960's will be facing a period of turbulence.
As mentioned at the outset, the year covered by
this political review was relatively quiet. It may
well be that Japan is passing through a valley of
calm from the peak of 1960's violent political ex
plosion and resting, as it were, before another upward
surge of violence. But it is precisely at a time such
as this that the nation needs statesmen of foresight
and wisdom to prepare the proper countermeasures to
keep the nation at peace and prosperous, now and in
the years ahead. And the most effective step to head
off the plans of the extremists will be for Japan's
responsible political leaders in both the conservative
and progressive camps, to put their houses in order
and to apply themselves to the -task and responsibility
for which they have been chosen. They showed
little of this during the past year, but the nation is
in urgent and immediate need of intelligent and wise
direction — and this, Japan's political leaders must give
in the months ahead.

TRENDS IN JAPANESE ECONOMY WITH
ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO 1963.
Shinichiro Kanai
THE INCOME-DOUBLING PLAN and
THE OPEN ECONOMY
Chief among the complications of the Japanese
economic situation of 1963 were the attempts to amend
the so-called * Income Doubling Plan ' and the com
pletion of the preparatory moves for the shift to an
'Open Economy'. The aim of the Ikeda policy had
been to double incomes within ten years, beginning
with 1961 — with increases in national production
averaging 9% in the first year and then 7.2% annually
till 1970. This plan was based upon Japan's high
economic growth in the postwar years, especially since
1955, but the plan was no sooner inaugurated than
the demand for capital investment and the speedy ex
pansion of factory facilities produced a sudden rise in
imports, which led in turn to a deficit in the interna
tional account. As a result, the government has had
to establish financial control sinces 1961, and thus
the balance of payments improved in the beginning
of 1962. These controls were partially removed in
October 1962, with the result that from 1962 to 1963
Japan's economic prosperity exceeded expectations.
However this economic prosprity was accompanied by
JAPANESE ECONOMY 23
a further aggravation of the international account at
the end of 1963.
Consumer prices, which had already begun to rise
steeply in 1961, rose still higher, and thus it was the
main concern of the government to improve the stand
ing of the international accounts and also to stabilize
prices. Accordingly, in December 1963 there was a
return to the controls of fourteen months before, whilst
* income doubling ' had to give way to a policy of
' stable growth '-with the promise of a new Five Year
Plan in the fall of 1964.
There has been a marked freeing of trade, the com
pletion of preparations for a formal affiliation with the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop
ment (OECD), and a decision to switch over to the
group of countries embraced by Clause 8 of the Inter
national Monetary Fund (IMF) — namely those which
make no limitations on international accounts. Also
this year travel has been liberalized — together with
trade and capital transactions, and the way to an
Open Economy prepared.
In such a situation, and in view of the possibility
of an increase in international competition, there has
been a tendency for business enterprises to amalga
mate, and this has been especially true of marine
transportation companies. By June 1, 1964 there has
also been the merging of three Heavy Industry con
cerns within the Mitsubishi family. A basic law was
also passed to increase the productivity and improve
the set-up of smaller and medium-size enterprises.
THE REPORT ON ECONOMIC PLANNING
The following features are emphasized in the report
for 1963 of the Economic Planning Bureau :-
24 1963 IN REVIEW
(1) The production of minerals rose slowly at first,
but with a quick recovery, the rate of increase from
December 1962 to December 1963 was 18.7%. The
increase was largely in the area of iron and steel,
petroleum products, synthetic fibers and transport ma
chinery, but durable consumer goods such as television
sets etc. tailed off because of a dull market.
(2) During the time under recession, the inventory
investment which had been severely cut back began
to rise again from January to March, with invest
ments by wholesale merchants and retailers leading
the way. From April to June investment in machine
goods became active, whilst from July to September
there was improvement in raw materials, and at the
same time there was renewed activity in investory in
vestment in better quality goods.
(3) During the period of recession, investment for
equipment in the big private enterprises was low, but
even when the period of recession passed, there was
no appreciable change in the large enterprises, but
there was an active interest in investment in small
and medium-sized enterprises. Whilst the investment
rate in the big companies with a capital of over 100
million yen ($277,000) was only 1.9% above the 1962
figure, investment in small and medium-sized firms
increased by 30%. The equipment investment involv
ed factory-buildings, dormitories and transportation fa
cilities.
(4) There was a rise in consumer propensity. In
dividual consumption which had increased steadily
only declined for four months, but, after the release
of financial controls, from February 1963, it was on
the increase again. People in the middle classes, par
ticularly were the more lavish spenders- with ' spices ',
alcoholic beverages, writing materials, and entertain-
JAPANESE ECONOMY 25
ment as the main items to show increased sales. This
was all due to a rise in personal income.
(5) The increase in bank loans was also marked,
and a token of the return to prosperity. The sums
loaned in the period April to September, 1963, when
compared with 1962, show an increase of 50.8%. The
demand was particularly strong among the medium
class enterprises, although the bigger enterprises, too,
increased their loans mainly through direct bank ac
tivity, as they prepared for another period of monetary
control, thereby increasing their indebtedness and
strengthening the liquidity of their assets.
The annual average of economic growth between
the period 1955 to 1961 was 10.8%, but the total
investment growth in 1963 was 8.2%, despite an ex
pected 13%, and the expected growth rate for 1964
is 7%.
DEFICIT IN INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTS
Despite the steady growth in Japanese economy at
large, the international account has shown considerable
insecurity. A credit balance in April 1963 of
$8,800,000,000 changed to a deficit of $99,000,000 by
December, and the deficit will be $150,000,000 in 1964.
The reason for the deficit was a sudden rise in im
ports, for though there was an increase in exports of
10% over the 1962 figure, imports rose steeply. There
was first of all a demand for steel, coal and kerosene
to meet the industrial needs ; then, for wheat in the
light of a 55% decrease in home-produced barley ;
and third, there was the problem of increased sugar
prices on the world market.
There was also an increased deficit of 8% on ex
ternal trade accounts, reaching a total of $250,000,000
26 1063 IN RF-YIFAV
clue mainly to the lack of an adequate Japanese cargo
fleet. One may mention, ton, the payments for tech
nical aid. patents etc.
A third major cause of the deficit was the unsettled
character of the capital accounts. The infl:nv of for
eign investment capital had been in part influenced
by the note sent to Congress in the U.S.A. on July
18, 1963, which forbade the publishing of bonds on
the American market.
As corrective measures the government planned (a)
:em to promote exports; (b) to use home-
products in government and public offices ; (c) to raise
the tonnage taxation on foreign ships and raise pilotage
(d) to use Japanese tankers for the importation
(e) to remove tax-exemptions for foreigners
on food and drink; and (f) to tax Japanese travelers
foreign trips. Such steps, however, do little
than touch on the problems, and the basic need

economy, coupled with strengthened international com

RISE IN CONSUMER PRICES
The rise in consumer prices became a political issue

•ause of the distorted approach to ' high e-
JAPANESE ECONOMY 27
conomic growth ', the smaller and medium-sized enter
prises could not cope with the new demand for man
power, being behindhand in their economic develop
ment. In December 6, 1963 the government published
its interim report on the 'Income-Doubling Plan',
which sought to deal with the rise in prices. It sug
gested corrections for the lag in agriculture, and for
low production in the smaller enterprises, and the re
pletion of social capital (in the matter of road, harbor
and railway construction).
Apart from a Five Year Plan, there were sugges
tions for a Twenty Year and a Ten Year period.
The Plans proposed (1) the maintenance of a high
and stable economic growth : (2) the increase of ex
ports through an adequte flow of labor and an ad
justment of the supply of capital etc. The emphasis
was general efficiency!
MOVE TO OPEN ECONOMY
With preparations for the move to the Open E-
conomy system duly completed in 1963, in spring
1964 the actual shift began, and the liberalization rate
with respect to Japanese goods came to 90%. At
the same time external contracts for technical aid, spe
cial charter ships, general external trade transactions
and monetary transactions were liberalized in the main.
Also the foreign exchange budget system was abol
ished and freedom of travel granted.
With the exception of some special items, Japanese
industry and enterprise was now in open competition
with foreign firms. It is to be hoped that the steps
taken to strengthen Japan's internal economy will as
sist her in international trade competition, and that
this, in turn, will have a beneficial effect on interna
tional economy.
<28 1963 IN REVIEW
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM
SIZED ENTERPRISES
The expanding Japanese economy had intensified the
contract between the bigger and smaller concerns,
both in the rate of investment and in the productive
capacity. Labor tends to drift to the bigger concerns,
and wage rates in the smaller concerns are lower.
Investment for equipment also comes into the hands
of the bigger enterprises. As a result it was of vital
importance that the small and medium-sized enterprises
receive investment for modernization. Various aids
and tax exemptions only helped a proportion and a
special feature of the period under consideration has
been the large number of bankruptcy cases amongst
the smaller concerns.
Now about 99% of Japanese firms belong to the
category of small and medium-sized enterprises— with
fewer than 300 employees each, and more than half
of these concerns act as sub -contractors to the big
enterprises. They suffer on two accounts. They are
somewhat dominated by the big enterprises, and they
have too competitive a market among themselves.
Their existence has been unstable for some time, and,
by comparison with the large firms, conditions are bad
and wages low. With labor shortages, however, the
smaller enterprises have had to hike up wage rates,
and improved technique are beginning to be developed
among them.
The government plan aims to rehabilitate them un
der a ' new industry system ' which correlates them
with the bigger enterprise, all forming a pyramid-like
structure. The firms which cannot meet the requir-
JAPANESE ECONOMY 29
ments have to go bankrupt. The high growth policy
has brought some balance of payments between large
and smaller enterprises, but it has also intensified com
petition.
LABOR PROBLEMS
With economic growth there has been a correspond
ing growth in jobs available. The labor force in such
primary industries as agriculture and fisheries has be
come extremely small, but there has been a rapid in
crease in the secondary and tertiary industries. From
1962 to 1963 the increase of the labor force in the
construction industry was 17.7%, in the wholesale and
retail industry 11.1%, and 2.6% in manufacturing.
The mining industry showed a decrease of 16.6% as
compared with 1962. There was also a decrease of
those employed in large enterprises.
In prewar and wartime Japan the workers had
been overworked and had operated at a distinct dis
advantage, but the situation has now radically chang
ed, as labor shortage has become a serious problem.
1 here is still great discrimination as between university
graduates and graduates from high or middle Schools,
and the latter still experience some of the old oppres
siveness. The reason is that wages are determined
not by the technical know-how or the kind of work,
but the school from which an employee graduated and
by his age or working experience. As wages increase
with length of service, younger laborers are paid less,
and the demand for laborers of this kind was 2.6
times the supply. It is still difficult, however, to find
work for the middle-age or older age groups, and the
government has accordingly begun to employ older
people. To solve the labor shortages the government
30 1963 IN REVIEW
is also planning to make manpower more mobile and
to change the present basis of long-term or life-time
employment, so that manpower can be more effectively
used.
So far as wages are concerned, graduates of the
middle schools had a starting salary of 9480 Yen
(about $27) and high school graduates one of 12,800
Yen (about $36). A rise of 11% and respectively
took place in 1963 and a similar rise is expected in
1964. The smaller enterprises paid, if anything a
much higher starting salary to secure labor. Average
salary rates are still lower in Japan than most ad
vanced nations, but it is difficult to make exact com
parisons. Japanese laborers look for the same rem
uneration as laborers in Europe, and low rates are
contrasted with the economic status of the enterprises.
The Sanction of Clause 87 of the ILO convention is
related to this problem.
The young are also critical of the old basis of rem
uneration which goes by years of service rather than
technical abiblity and they call for equal pay for equal
work.
CONCLUSION
There have been other effects from the rapid growth
in the Japanese economy. One of the most serious
is the decrease in the agricultural population. It is
said that the only workers on the farms are women
and children. Increase in crops is due to mechaniza
tion, but there is insufficient appreciation in rural val
ues, and the gap between agricultural and industrial
workers is so great that the population cannot be
economically assimilated. The rise in the price of agri
cultural products is due to the gap between the genera.1
JAPANESE ECONOMY 31
growth of income and the ahility of agriculture to
raise its productive power.
One may refer, too, to the relation between em
ployers and employees. In 1963 there were 365 labor
union organizations with over nine million members.
The postwar development here has been incredible,
and Japan is now on a par with the advanced coun
tries. Of the members, however, 88% belong to the
big enterprises and establishment organizations. There
have been demands for higher wages to reach Euro
pean standards, and for shorter working hours. One
should notice that Sohyo (the largest Union) is seek
ing earnestly to organize unions within the small and
medium-sized firms.
We are seeking to catch up with Western European
standards, but need to eradicate the confusion brought
about by the recent rapid growth. On the one hand,
we need to increase exports and investment, and, on
the other hand, we need the repletion of social capital
in terms of roads, railways, harbors, and housing, to
gether with improvments in agricultural productivity
and in the small enterprises. One may point, too, to
the need of some form of social security, and growth
in educational institutions, and institutions for the wel
fare of laborers and the impoverished.
The national budget of 3200 billion yen (about
$8,960,000,000) shows a rise of 14% in 1963, and
the plan for financial investment at 1340 billion yen
(about $3,750,000,000) shows an increase of 29.8%.
This is the largest budget in Japanese history, and
reflects the present standing of Japanese economy.
Whilst the course is a zig-zag one, it would not be
wrong to assert that the Japanese economy is steadily
advancing.
CHAPTER 3
CHANGING TRENDS IN THE WITNESS OF
THE CHURCH IN POST-WAR JAPAN.*
Masao Takenaka.
Some Basic Considerations
There are two basic approaches in the consideration
of post-war questions. The one is concerned with
practical development, and the other with critical ap-
prizement. To deal first with practical development—
in the years since the war there have been tremendous
changes both in the church and in society as a whole.
To turn to the rural society for an illustration, one
may say that the Agrarian Reform was the most
radical piece of legislation under the Occupation. The
straw roof gives place to the tile, and the 'good har
vest' which formerly was a rarity, is now common
place. When I was at Union Theological Seminary
in New York, I spoke with friends about the problems
relating to Japanese rural society, and they made the
suggestion that Japanese agriculture should be mecha
nized in order to increase productivity, but this was
almost unthinkable for the Japanese then. But now
tractors produced by the industrious and skilful Japa
nese are in use in various places, though at the time—
950— it was even beyond the prediction of many
Japanese agricultural experts. From now on Japanese
[cultural productivity will be further improved with
increased mechanization and an increased use of ferti-

Social Questions, held in July 1962.
TRENDS IN WITNESS 33
able to move from the country to the town, and the
new problem in Japan is how this shifted labor force
is going to add to Japan's productivity.
Japan's development during the past seventeen years
has not been without its occasional recessions. There
has always been the upward thrust, but, rather than
a staircase, the zig-zag track of a train ascending a
mountain would describe the development.
A good example of how things have developed is
the matter of the Emperor's status, Although the
Emperor. . . was declared to be human, he is not the
same as an ordinary man, and so the reverse course
away from the human can be said to be involved.
A Burmese Doctor, participating in a Japanese Speech
Contest, appeared on T.V. and made the following
criticism of the Japanese : 'A Japanese is very correct
in his procedure, and even in the midst of a busy
society, when he greets anyone in the street, he will
turn about and bow repeatedly. In Burma, apart from a
king or a state guest, such a greeting would not occur.
However, when an important decision is to be made,
Japanese demonstrate the same politeness, and, as a
result, no decision is reached, or, at best, it is am
biguous.'
But now to turn to the church — Like society in gener
al, the Church's development has followed a zig-zag
track. It is for this reason particularly that the
missionary in Japan needs patience. Otis Cary, the
author of the two-volume history on Christianity in
Japan, engaged in evangelism, whilst teaching English
at the school set up by the Daimyo of Okayama, and,
in his report to the American Board, wrote: 'In
Japan, if you are in a hurry, you must go a round
about way. As a Japanese proverb puts it, it is
important to do what may seem to be unimportant.'
34 1%3 IN REVIEW
What he wrote does not only apply to foreigners, as
Japanese also try to settle problems in a hurry. So
ciety, however, will not accept such a procedure, and
with the passage of time, people lose heart. Because
of this distinctively Japanese characteristic, being in
the church as well, it is necessary to take one's time
and plod on a step at a time. There is no blueprint
for a speedy improvement in the church : like a
mountain-climber, one must plod on step by step.
To turn to the second approach - A tendency to be
critical is rooted deep in the Japanese character. Criti
cism is necessary, but it should be constructive. In
stead of seeking to trip up somebody with negative
criticism, whilst recognizing the defects in others, we
should seek to give an evaluation of the situation
which is constructive, and in mutual and intimate
interdependence seek the attaining of a common goal.
This means that, in looking at Japan's post-war his
tory I must not only criticize, but give a constructive
evaluation through the eyes of faith.
Through the scriptures we have come to know that,
in the midst of human pain and anguish, or amid
social injustice, evil, impurity and failure, God is at
work redemptively, and through the revelation in
Christ we know that God is at work in this world's
history, and we can accordingly look at history with
appreciation. At the same time, in our evaluation of
man, whilst being aware of human sinfulness, we are
also aware that it is to such earthen vessls that the
gifts of God's grace have been given.
In dealing with the post-war history of the Church
I should like to make four divisions.
TRENDS IN WITNESS 35
I. Tho period of restoration (1945-1950)
During this era of social confusion, the black market
and inadequate rations, the Church (sc. the Kyodan)
through the instrumentality of the Inter-Board Com
mittee for Christian Work in Japan put its main effort
into the restoration of the burnt-out churches. Out
of 457 which had been destroyed 242 were restored.
At the same time the churches planned an evangelistic
movement to preach the Gospel to those caught in
the post-war spiritual vacuum. In 1946 the 'Christian
Movement for the Construction of a New Japan' was
inaugurated with the aim of winning three million
souls. At that time, too, Christianity, under the
occupation of the victorious American forces, faced
a favorable opportunity, which was like an incoming
tide. Following the tendency of the time large num
bers of people, full of expectation and curiosity, knock
ed at the doors of the Church, but the Church, which
could do little more than tackle its own restoration
and launch the evangelistic compaign, did not have
sufficient strength to answer their expectations, and
people did not become added to the Church in great
numbers. A number of questions are involved here,
but 1 should like to make four points :-
(1) The churches, in the war-time loss of person
nel and buildings, had suffered a deep injury, and
were exercising all their strength in the work of re
storation. So far as society was concerned, the
churches could do little more than re-establish their
organizational identity.
(2) There had been problems with the establish
ment of the Kyodan from the start. There had
previously been a voluntary movement within the
36 1963 IN REVIEW
churches, which had unity as its goal, and a united
church was the fruition of that movement, but it is
still an unquestionable fact that the actual constituting
of the Kyodan as a United Church was the result of
war-time, national demands, and particularly the law
governing religious associations. As a result, at the
end of the war, the Kyodan, far from being able to
promote its work outside the church, was immediately
confronted with the problem of dissolution or secession
within the church.
(3) There was no clear theological approach to social
questions. Up to this time the people who had em
phasized social work represented a liberal standpoint.
The people concerned for ethics followed a pietistic,
individualistic ethic, whilst those with a real depth in
the understanding of the Gospel were unable to reach
a theological understanding in relation to society. The
Pastor Akaiwa affair is a case in point. He emphasiz
ed a dualistic standpoint, making a sharp distinction
between faith and society. Faith was possible because
of the grace of God, and its content was made
manifest throught the revelation in Jesus Christ, but
society was understood as something dependent upon
our reason, and so social activity was held to belong
to the sphere of sociology. (The consequence was
that, theologically, he would follow Karl Earth, but,
sociologically, his guide would be Karl Marx!)
(4) The fact that, after the war, church reconstruc
tion was too lightly considered is distasteful to us,
and even today it is a problem that must be carefully
considered. When one customarily uses the word
re-construction or re-habilitation, the re- means that
one must once again build upon some foundation,
but what we really needed to think about much more
seriously was the nature of the base upon which we
TRENI» IN WITNESS
were to re-build. Immediately after the war what we
should have done was to exercise ourselves to discover
exactly the extent to which we had parted from the
true form of the Church during the years before and
during the war. Today, after 17 years, we have
come to the question of 'constitutional reform', but
would it not have been advisable for the church im
mediately after the war to have made all haste to
make a new start, based upon repentance and stringent
self-criticism? Was it not then our duty to consider
the question of responsibility for the war, a clear at
titude with respect to the status of the Emperor, our
economic relationship with the Church overseas etc. ?
The Church in its pain could have shared in the
public anguish and served the public, fully conscious
of its witness.
II. The Period of Internal Formation in the Kyodan
(1950-1954).
To look first at the external situation — The Korean
War was in progress — a time when post-war idealistic
pacificism was encountering severe shaking, and when
Japanese independence from Occupation policies mani
fested itself in a form of reaction. During this period
the Church had no immediate relationship with society,
and some of the Church's internal problems came to
a head. I should like to make four points with regard
to relationships between Church and Society at this
period :-
(1) The Church, in its attempt to attain internal
completeness, was confronting denominational problems
and also problems of secession. These denominational
problems reached their peak in 1950, and a report
was put out at the 6th. General Conference of the
Kyodan. As a result, in place of a further dismantl-
38 1963 IN REVIEW
ing process, what remained of the Kyodan became
one, and walked in the direction of a true 'church
formation. The practical manifestation was the 1954
decision on a 'Confession of Faith' and 'Principles for
Life'. It is at this point that one can see the United
Church founded not by some external directive, but
on the basis of an internal proclamation of faith.
(2) There was an advance, in theological enquiry
within the Church, and in 1950 a Study Conference
on Social Matters took place at Gotemba, which laid
down a theological basis for the approach to the
confused state of social problems. In place of in
dividualistic piety or idealistic activism which split up
church and society, and tended in a dualistic direction,
it was understood that God, as revealed in Jesus
Christ, is both Creator of the world and Redeemer of
all mankind, and is working within today's society
through the Holy Spirit. Accordingly the Church
is to witness to God's work in society and to serve
society, and this social responsibility is subsumed
within theology.
Subsequently the Kyodan was able to push on to
social activity, setting up a Study Commission for
Social Problems, and came to the point of making
public statements, as occasion arose, with regard to
questions of peace, labour union activities, social se
curity etc. It should be noted, however, that such
statements were not directed so much to society as to
the church, being in the nature of didactic utterances
for the church. None the less, as in the case of
other matters, too, due to the faulty character of com
munication within the Church, there was no deep
consciousness of its significance within the Church as
a whole. In 1954, the 'Confession of Faith' was
determined, but one should note that to the eschatolo-
TRENDS IN WITNESS 39
gical expression of the faith there was added a clause
which called for a practical approach to society. At
the same time, in the * Principles for Life,' there was
precise emphasis on responsibility with regard to jus
tice and love in society and international peace and
order.
(3) The organizations for evangelism were set up
after a variety of patterns. Before the war there had
been emphasis on ' rural and other forms of evange
lism', but at this time 'occupational evangelism'
was newly tackled. Up to this time evangelism had
been thought of in relation to its object — whether the
youth or the women's division — and the methods used
had involved the use of audio-visual aids, home visita
tion, etc. 'Occupational evangelism', was to differ
widely from these, both in terms of objective and
methodology. The Christian is to bear witness at the
place of his occupation. At the beginning ' occupa
tional evangelism ' started with Bible Study groups
at the place of work, but in its development it has
also come to deal with the way a Christian lives,
serves and witnesses in the place at which he works.
(4) At this time the over-all membership of the
Kyodan went into decline. As compared with the
immediate post-war period, apart from the drop in
membership due to secession, one cannot but notice
the tremendous drop in the number or baptisms. To
look at the statistics :- In 1949 the baptisms number
ed 14,052, but in 1957 the figure was 7,928. In a
mere eight years the number of baptisms had drop
ped about 44%. If one takes Church attendance and
baptisms in 1948 as 100%, in 1955 attendances were
126%, but baptisms 69%. (The decrease in the num
ber of baptisms, though regrettable, was by no means
as great as might appear. Moreover the same pheno-
40 1963 IN REVIEW
menon occurred in a number of other denomina
tions. For example, the Church of the Nazarene ex
perienced a drop of about 49% in the same period,
while the Reformed Church had a decrease of 12%
for these years. The Free Methodist Church experi-
ienced a decrease of approximately 40% between 1954
and 1957. Furthermore, during this period of eight
years (1949-57), some thirteen denominational groups,
with a total of about 300 churches, seceded from the
United Church. These secessions obviously contribut
ed to the 44% decrease in the number of baptisms to
the United Church, which is not significantly greater
than some of the other denominations. Edit.) When
the post-war rising-tide of occupational policy gave
place to the returning tide, anti-Christianity was one
of the manifestations of anti- Americanism.
Such events as the affair over the Nuclear Tests
were also a deep cause of the lack of confidence to-
Christian countries. The Church in its decline
was not adequate for the situation, and, as in the
post-war period it had not been able to cope with
those who pressed into the churches, so now this
period was one confined to inner church activities
strengthening of its Confession of Faith and the
rmation of a theological approach towards society.
During this period there was the 'Five Year Evangel-
3lan', which had as its chief aim the bringing
Japan into the Church, but in actual fact all
that one can say of it is that it resulted in the strength-
g of the structure and life of the Church.
III. The Period up to the Missionary Centenary
(1954-1959)
This was the period when the Centenary was empha-
TRENDS IN \\TTNESS 41
sized on all sides, and I should like to make four points
about this period as well :-
(1) Despite the Five Year Plan and the subsequent
Centenary Evangelism, the statistical falling-away in
tensified, and the era was one of decline. An illus
tration of this is the Church School. In 1952 pupils
numbered 140,000, but in 1958 the number had shrunk
to 90,000. Despite the lavish use of money on Crusad
es, the actual situation was that the falling-off was in
no way impeded. We are gradually growing conscious
of the need for the Kyodan, which has had the an
guish of witnessing such a decline to investigate
thoroughly the causes of that decline.
(2) The organization of the Kyodan was gradu
ally fixed. A Research Institute on the Mission
of the Church was established, and five divisions —
theology, evangelism, education, social matters, and
international affairs — was set up. In was inadequate, but
the fact that it did assemble materials, and steps had
been taken to organize the Institute, was itself indica
tive of the fact that the Kyodan recognized the need
for investigating its activities.
(3) Together with advance in industrial society,
from 1954 'occupational' evangelism was initiated. De
spite the use of the word ' occupational ' , doctors
teachers and ' salary men ' predominated. In that
context a question that the Church must consciously
consider in its function qua neighbor is that of organ
ized labor. It is not a matter of adopting a flattering
attitude towards labor, but of sharing the burden and
witnessing to them of the justice and love that there
are in Christ. In addition the Church must exert its
strength to restore the dignity of their human nature.
The Committee for ' occupational evangelism ' in 1958
put out * The Working Man ', and amidst toil it con-
1963 IN REVIEW
tinues today to be put out, and, in appraisal it can be
said that the Church thus provides a place for conver
sation in the midst of silence in the mutual considera
tion of the problems of society and the laborer.
(4) This poin,t has some connection with the next
period, but in the matter of the Anti- Violence Law*
and the Security Pact* etc., which were national
movements and piled up into a whole series of social
demonstrations, the Church took a fairly positive stand
point both in what it said to society and in its actual
activity.
These affairs raised a whole variety of problems and
a certain measure of friction, but they caused us to
give due time to reflection and constructive investiga
tion, for the Church must consider how it is to be
loyal to Christ and yet work effectively for society.
In 1958, " The Christian's Guide for Social action "
was formulated by the United Church. The Keynote
of this affirmation is that " Christians as new men in
Christ are able with hope and courage to stand up
against the power of evil of this world and the threat
of death. . The first section of the Guide reveals
how completely the sense of social responsibility of the
church is rooted in deep theological conviction : " The
Christian's action in society is that of one who serves
God the Creator of heaven and earth, the Heavenly
Father who revealed himself in Christ. . . Man the
creature can know the meaning of history and rightly
participate in the processes of history only as one who
knows God, loves God and serves God. When he
forgets these things he becomes the enemy of God
The allusion is to the unrest caused by the proposed ' Anti-Viol-
: Measure', which seemed to threaten the freedom of the
people, and to the revision of the Security Pact with the U S A
(Ed.)
TRENDS IN WITNESS 43
and invites social disorder. . . In all his earthly ethical
action the Christian is aware of the limitations of
human action and must resolutely separate himself
from illusions like those of idealistic ethics which
dreams of a kingdom of human moral perfection and
seeks it in the direction of humanistic social achieve
ment. However, rejoicing that God deigns to use
even sinful men as His instruments, we do not retreat
from historical realities, filled as they are with suffer
ing and dispair, but, looking forward to the time when
our Lord will come again in glory according to His
promise, as Judge and King, to perfect all things, we
enter into these realities in Christ. . . . Man's justifica
tion is by faith alone, never by works. However, the
faith on which grace is bestowed unceasingly demands
works of love."
IV. The present stage (Since 1960)
The present stage hardly belongs to the realm of
historical investigation, and is more the preserve of
the future, but one can use the current terminology
of the Kyodan and speak of ' the constitutional reform
of the Church '. As I said at the very beginning, the
track we are following is a zig-zag one, and it is like
ly to continue so, with the result that our work calls
for patience. What, then, is it important for us to
keep in mind?
(1) In speaking of 'constitutional reform', up till
now, in the face of a demonstrated concern over
quantity, the emphasis has been laid on quality. This,
however, does not involve an underestimate of quanti
ty. The Church in Japan is a minority, but, qua a
minority, there is need to consider the qualitative
character of the course it is to follow. It is not our
44 1963 TN REVIEW
vocation to be a minority which drags along behind
society ; the Church is called to be a minority which
makes known its true form in accordance with God's
Word, and which, as a forgiven group of people,
fulfils its creative function within society.
(2) Involved in our understanding of society is the
place where the revelation given in Christ is operative.
Not only is there much confusion and injustice
in Japan and the world ; they are also the place
where God's redemption is wrought out, the place
where God's work is accomplished. From this stand
point we must make a situational analysis of Japan
in the light of our Christian faith, and we need to
understand what God is meaning to do in Japan.
That is not simply the role of the pastor or the soci
ologist ; it is the role all must take. In 1 Corinthians
we read that the brethren in the early Church
joined together in their hymns of praise, in hearing
the Word, and in instruction, but then we have the
' If someone sitting in his place receives a
evelation, let the first speaker stop ' (1 Corinthians
: the Kyodan were to follow this injunc-
in place of a piece-meal division of society, mini-
try, evangelism, mission study etc., one would hope
for a concentration of our work.
(3) When one asserts that it is not clear what the
authority is and what mode of activity it is
o engage in, when it speaks to society, the Church's
M>n social problems becomes hesitant. But when
hurch engages in activity, even though it is able
k only at different levels, the obligation to speak
The Church does not have only one way

I freedom be demonstrated within the Church Par

TRENDS IN \VITNESS 45
where, it ought to be possible to learn together and
talk together without creating division. It is wrong,
however, to say that only when the whole body of
the Church has achieved unity, should it speak.
(4) Finally, in the midst of a society which ex
periences violent change, and in an age when we must
ascertain our nation's future and proceed along that
future, apart from the unconcern of the intellectuals,
one must fear a lapse into something resembling a-
pathy. Particularly after the Security Pact affair, were
not all looking to the method of the professional wrest
ler rather than to the method of Diet debate? The
pattern of the wrestling bout in its application to par
liamentary procedure has not been removed. It is
precisely in such a situation that the Church must
proceed, taking the form in Christ of a humanity
which bears true, social responsibility. We are to
make use of the gifts, man-power and organization
that has been bestowed upon us, and work for the
growth of the Church, and seek to fulfil the Church's
task in the world : (Matthew 28 : 19-20) .
CHAPTER 4
CURRENT THOUGHT IN JAPAN
Masatoshi Matsushita
What do we mean by ' Current Thought ' ?
I do not really know whether there is such a thing
as ' current thought ' in Japan. It is more likely that
we shall find current ideas or a variety of streams of
thought, some of which will be deeply founded and
others ill founded. Certain ideas will gain in populari
ty, but that will not preserve them from superficiality,
whereas others, though apparently unpopular and re
garded as defunct in some areas, may be very influential
and determinative in our national destiny. It is, ac
cordingly, difficult to determine what is truly signifi
cant. Thoughts which are popular in the journals
may be or may not be important.
Japanese journalism is always interested in some
thing new — but that ' something new ' is not usually
some newly born thought or philosophy, but rather
some new importation. To give an illustration — Ex
istentialist thinking is not necessarily new, for it occurs
in both Christianity and Buddhism, and yet, for the
journalists, it is the ' commodity ' imported from
France. In its interpretation of humanity, existential
ism can be said to have lasting significance, and it is
this aspect which is embodied within Christian thou
ght, but the * existentialism ' of the journalists is a
passing whim and hardly important and, in actual fact,
we may say that the ' phase of existentialism ' is al
ready a thing of the past.
CURRENT THOUGHT 47
The answer of the intelligentsia.
Some * experts ' on the subject of * current thought ' ,
if invited to write an article of this kind, would most
likely have checked the back numbers of Chuokoron
(the Central Review) and Sekai (the World) . These
two monthly journals possess high prestige, and repre
sent largely the standpoint of the intelligentsia. Our
' experts ' would have read all the important articles and
then made an analytical comparison, and then been in a
position to make some conclusions as to the general
tendency of current thought. Such a survey might
claim to be ' objective ' or ' scientific ', but I personally
would query the value of such a survey. The reason
is that I question the true importance of these journals.
Admittedly they represent the thought or mental at
titude of the intelligentsia, but is the thinking of the
intelligentsia truly important ? It would seem to be
negative, sentimental and destructive — the result of a
vague mood rather than of hard thinking. One charac
teristic of the Japanese intellectual is that he is always
against the Government. He is always anti-national
istic — * international ', but with an internationalism that
is always partial. In conflicts between the West and
the Communist world they have mechanically taken
the side of the latter. It is not that they are Com
munists, for they have no party membership. They
would claim to be 'neutralist', and for a long time
Nehru was their hero and India was their * Kingdom
of Heaven '. But now that the age of Nehru is past,
both Nehru and India are conveniently forgotten.
Where difficulties arise, they escape their dilemma by
ignoring it.
Let me give Professor Ikutaro Shimizu (of Gaku-
48 1963 IN REVIEW
shuin University) as an example of mutability within
the ranks of the intelligentsia. (Incidentally, he is
one whose articles often appear in Chuokoron, Sekai
and other journals of "High prestige".) He was a
liberal before the war, and a nationalist during the
war. Immediately after the war he became a pragma-
tist of the American type, but then adopted a Marxist
standpoint and maintained that position for some time.
Recently he has begin to criticize Marxism, and one
may well ask what the next move will be ! I am of
the opinion that such favorite sons of our Japanese
journalism are not really important in determining
national destiny.
I would go so far as to say that the articles in such
journals are little more than commodities which fit
the peculiar taste of our intelligentsia. One may well
query the advisability of using the word ' thought '
with regard to their products. It would be more ap
propriate to classify them with cosmetics, popular songs
or fashionable designs!
May I suggest that the dilettante character of what
our intelligentsia produce is conditioned by the peculi
arities of Japanese politics and economy ? Politics are
largely in the control of reactionaries, radicals or un
thinking liberals. They are experts in the game of
politics, but have no fundamental political philosophy.
They accordingly have little to interest the intelligent
sia. Japanese economy has grown and is still growing,
but the expansion is due to the businessman and the
industrialist, and the politician and the intelligentsia
have done little to contribute. It has been possible
because of inborn intelligence and industriousness a-
mongst the Japanese. The intelligentsia are, accord
ingly, in a class by themselves and have nothing con
structive to offer because of the very in-between charac-
CURRENT THOUGHT 49
ter of their position in society. The result is often a
mere negative criticism — the criticism that is derived
from non-involvement.
I have spoken as if the intelligentsia were a group,
but it would be a mistake to fail to recognize that,
qua individuals, they may have much to offer of a
constructive or practical nature. Many of them, in
dividually, would characterize the distinctive industri-
ousness of the Japanese. I would suggest that, as a
group, their influence is extremely negative, but that
they have something to offer, when freed from the
group.
By ' current thought ' I would seek to define not
some type of thinking, which may be clear or vague,
lasting or temporarily influential or non- influential, but
rather that type of thinking which either determines
or, at least exercises a great influence on the destiny of
the nation.
The place of Nationalism
Following my definition of ' thought ' as that which
greatly affects the destiny of the nation, I would say
that ' nationalism ' exercises a very powerful influence.
By this I do not necessarily mean a rebirth of Fascist
or Nazi ideology, although one cannot rule out the pos
sibility of such a resurgence whether here in Japan
or elsewhere in the world. There is probably more
danger of such a drift here in Japan than in America
or England, but Japan is perhaps no further on such
a road than France or Italy. The correct antidote
to an extreme nationalism would not be an anti-nation
alism, but a healthy regard for the importance of the
nation, where dangerous extremes could be naturally
eliminated.
50 !%.* IN KI-VIl'AV
There arc some organizations of extreme nationalism
which openly advocate violence, and one such group
is held by many to be responsible for the assassination
of Mr. Inajiro Asanuma, the former head of the Social
ist Party. Its head, IVlr. Akao, would deny responsibili
ty for the crime, but both he and other leaders frankly
admired the ' courage ' and * patriotism ' of Yamagu-
chi, the assassin. Whilst the nationalist group may
not be legally involved ; it is ideologically involved.
There are perhaps five or six organizations which
foster an extreme nationalism, and there is always the
possibility that young men of twisted judgement may
try dangerous and desperate' methods.
The extreme right does not limit its attacks to the
leftist groups. Liberals and conservatives are far more
frequently their victims. The logic seems to be that
liberal and conservative politicians are too laisser faire
in their attitude to the lelt, and so deserve punishment.
Whilst admitting both actual and potential threats from
the ultra-nationalists, I would suggest that we must
not over-exaggerate their power and influence. Today
they are not numerous and they have no important
sponsors. We are very conscious that the nationalists
were responsible for leading the country to war, but
they then had the strong support of the army. It was
the taxpayer who then financed the sponsors of the
ultra-nationalist movement.
But that army no longer exists, and the National
Defence Force is very different from the old army.
It is theoretically possible that the present National
Defence I'orce could take the place- of the old and
strong army, and because of the possibility we must
be on our guard. Our protection would be, I feel,
to develop a sane nationalism and to bar the army
from influence in politics. In other words, we must
CURRENT Tiiouciin1 6i
ensure that there is no situation arising, where the
Defence Force would feel that it must ' make a stand ".
A * moderate ' National iam
In speaking of ' nationalism ' I have so far dealt
only with its extreme manifestations. I have not meant
to emphasise so much its importance as its limitations,
and it should be sharply distinguished from a more
moderate and representative nationalism. This latter
is not really nationalism at all in an ideological sense —
nor yet is it organizational. It exists as a basic mood—
a more or less unconscious belief or, at times, a com
mon sense attitude.
The reason why the Liberal- Democratic Party is
able to maintain its strong majority in the Diet is be
cause of its mildly nationalist standpoint. People do
not vote so much for the party as for the mild and
common sense nationalism which it seems to favor.
As a party, the Liberal-Democrats are disliked because
of their corruptness and inefficiency, but the only al
ternative would be to vote for the Socialists, and their
platform, being anti-nationalist, is not generally ac
ceptable. There are those (and especially amongst the
younger groups) who vote for the Socialists, even
though they do not believe in socialism. They do so,
because they cannot in good conscience support the
Liberal -Democrats. This standpoint is understandable,
because the professional politicians of the party in
power are, at best, second-class. They are powerful,
but they are not respected. They can exercise power,
but have little moral influence. It would be my o-
pinion that 70% of the voters for the Liberal- Demo
crats do not really support the party, but are in favour
of a mildly nationalistic policy, and that the same
52 1963 IN REVIEW
would be true of 50% of those who cast a vote for
the Socialists. In other words, there is no party which
truly represents the feelings of the voter, and their
votes are accordingly divided between the Liberal-
Democrats and the Socialists. There is, of course,
the Social Democratic party, which is distinctly anti-
communist. In this sense, it can be said to be con
cerned with national interest, and it has the support
of the second largest federation of Labor Unions. Its
present membership in the Diet is 23, and there is
some possibility that it will increase its membership
to 40 or 50. It will never, however, become, a ma
jority party, and the reason is that its leadership is
drawn from the intelligentsia who have no strong
national background. Its ideas and policies are mostly
of foreign origin, and it is too much afraid of being
regarded as 'nationalistic'. It can only be a minori
ty, because no party or system of thought can be in
fluential in Japan, unless it be influenced by a natu
ral ' nationalism '. It must be recognized as Japa
nese, and not an importation.
The significance of the * New Religions '.
It may seem strange to include the so-called ' New
Religions' within a survey of 'current thought', for
there are many who would ignore them whether a-
mongst the ranks of the University professors or a-
mongst the Christians. To ignore them, because they
are ' distasteful ' is to seek to escape from reality, for
whether they be attractive or not, whether it be for
tunate or unfortunate, the ' new religions ' do exist,
and they constitute a strong and growing influence in
Japanese thinking today. We cannot afford to ignore
CURRENT THOUGHT 53
them.
To define a ' new religion ' as a religious organiza
tion which is registered within the Federation of the
New Religions would be an oversimplification and un
realistic, for such a definition would rule out Soka
Gakkai, the most powerful and aggressive of the new
movements. The latter would claim that the Nichiren
Sho sect, which it supports, embraces the only true
religion, and that all others are false and detrimental
to Japan's well-being. It will not, therefore, cooper
ate, and so could hardly be incorporated in any Feder
ation. Its precise membership is uncertain, but it may
be approaching the eight million mark.*
The largest organization within the Federation of
the New Religions is Rissho Kosei Kai with a member
ship of upwards of two million, whilst Perfect Liberty
Kyodan (commonly called P. L.) claims one million,
three hundred thousand. Sekai Kyusei Kyo would
claim close to half a million. The Federation includes
about 70 organizations- with a total membership of up
wards of five million. If one were to omit member
ship of the one-time Shinto Sects, ' New Religions '
would account for some 13-14 million, but from a
practical point of of view one must include older move
ments such as Tenrikyo (with over two million mem
bers) and Konkokyo. Along with the ' New Re
ligions ' we should also include some new Shinto and
Buddhist sects which are revolting against the old
tradition. For example, Kodo Kyodan is nominally
a part of the Tendai Sect of Buddhism, but is tanta
mount to a new sect. Seicho no le first insisted that
it was not a religion, but a positivist approach to e-
thics, but now it is registered as a religious corpora -
*See the article on the Religious World for the statistics of this
movement. (Ed.)
5-4 1963 IN REVIEW
tion.
There is at least one more powerful thought-group
which claims not to be a religion, so that anyone,
Christian, Buddhist or Shintoist, can belong. It is
called Jissen Rinri Koseikai, and claims one million
and three hundred thousand.
If one were to take all such groups into considera
tion, it could be estimated that 25 million (over one
quarter of the pepulation of Japan) are involved in
their thinking. It is true that there is little co-opera
tion between them of a deep nature, since each wishes
jealously to guard its own interests — but there are com
mon traits within them all, to which I would like to
refer :-
(1) They were born in Japan, but they all claim
to be world religions and are eager to propagate their
* gospels ' in other lands ;
(2) They are activistic and enthusiastic ;
(3) They all advocate a spirit of service, and act
ually practice it ;
^ They are all (with the possible exception of
Soka Gakkai) moderately nationalistic.
t is in this last-named trait, that they participate in
the general, unarticulated feeling of the Japanese,
ihey differ amongst themselves in their particular
items of belief, but their Japanese character is un
mistakable.
There is no way of predicting whether the ' new
will grow or decline. It is probable that
will grow and others decline, and that other
movements will come into existence. I would be bold
enough to predict that in the next ten years the num
bers will grow to almost fifty million.
An interesting and almost ironical feature of these
CURRENT THOUGHT 55
new movements is that they largely borrow from Christ
ianity — not only in matters of doctrine, but (more
particularly) in practice also. They all teach and
practice unselfish devotion and sacrifice ; they all teach
the value of the individual ; they all emphasize interna
tional friendship and peace. In terms of practice, one
may at times query whether they are not more Christ
ian than some so-called Christians. They have certain
ly done something towards raising moral standards and
promoting general happiness.
The intelligentsia look down upon them as supersti
tions, but there is much subjective thinking in the
definition of what is and what is not a * superstition '.
From the standpoint of science, many were somewhat
irrational in their approach to life, but many now
attain some modernity and a scientific outlook — with
first-class hospitals and universities. They are good
organizers and they know how to utilize personnel.
The place of Communism.
I would not wish to underestimate the power of
communism in Japan. The Japanese Communist Party
is well organized and is very aggressive, but its mem
bership is less than one hundred thousand, and there
is no startling growth evident. Unless Japan is con
quered by a Communist power, it would seem unlikely
that Japan will go communist — and that, once again,
is due to the un-Japanese character of communistic
ideology.
Outsiders wonder at the rapid modernization of
Japan over the past one hundred years. Japan is a
modern country, but Japan is still oriental at heart.
The elan vital of Japan has not much changed. Christ-
56 1963 IN REVIEW
ianity has come to Japan, but Japan is not Christian.
What has happened is that some aspects of Christ
ianity, which seemed useful to Japan's well-being,
were adopted and others rejected or ignored. Japan
is willing to take from the West ; but essentially Japan
remains Japanese.
CHAPTER 5
THE RELIGIOUS WORLD IN 1963*
William F. Woodard
After centuries of feudalism, and nearly a century
of somewhat strict government supervision, Japanese
religious leaders in May, 1952, for the first time found
themselves untrammeled by either their own govern
ment or a foreign occupation. Within the limits of
laws governing all the people, they were free to de
velop their own organizations and the course of the
religious world in any way they might choose. How
ever, since few of them — Buddhist, Christian, or
Shinto — had made a careful study of the principles
of religious freedom and separation of church and
state, there was no unanimity of opinion as to how
these principles should be implemented ; and there
were no carefully thought out proposals regarding the
the subject. Consequently, the debate on this issue
continued during the following decade, and through
out 1962-63, much as it had been carried on during
the Allied Occupation.
At the close of 1963 the general trend of the dis
cussion appeared to favor a return to some of the
pre-World War II practices, but it seemed unlikely
that there would be any marked change in the im
mediate future.
During the year tension between opposing groups
could be noted, for example, in connection with Prime
Minister Ikeda's proposal to develop and improve
* This article is based on articles by the writer which first appeared

58 1963 IN REVIEW
Japan's " human resources," which was presented as
a movement to raise the moral and spiritual level of
the people. In spite of this commendable objective,
there was strong opposition on the ground that govern
ment was trying to interfere in religion. Other divi
sions of opinion were to be seen in regard to such
matters as the attitude of the people toward the Im
perial Family, the national flag, and the national
anthem.
The fact that a record breaking crowd of 175,000
visited the palace on January 2, 1963, normally would
be regarded as indicating a healthy state of mind
toward the Imperial Family. Yet, because the total
was noticeably larger than the 102,000 in 1962, some
religious observers viewed the increase with apprehen
sion — as possibly indicating a reactionary trend. As
a matter of fact, in contrast with the inclement
weather of January, 1962, the year 1963 was ushered
in with a spate of good weather which invited people
out of doors. Even so the total was only 3,000 more
than in 1961.
Other trends that are sometimes regarded as straws
in the wind are the size of the crowds visiting the
great Shinto shrines on New Year's Day, and the
Imperial Palace grounds on His Majesty's birthday
(April 29) . In no case, however, was there an increase
in 1963 sufficient to justify any special apprehension
on the part of critics.
Some organized activities that stirred related emotions
were movements (1) to revive February 11 as National
Foundation Day, (2) to give Yasukuni Shrine a status
other than that of a religious corporation, (3) to make
August 15 a Day of Remembrance of those that
sacrificed their lives for their country in World War
) to strengthen the ethics courses in government
RELIGIOUS WORLD 59
schools and, as mentioned above, (5) to encourage
the use of the national flag and the national anthem.
For one reason or another, each of these is a sensitive
point over which religious leaders are often divided.
The issue concerning which the religious world is
most vocal, however, is the proposed revision of the
Constitution. In the first place, many religious leaders
are opposed to any amendment, whatsoever, because of
fear that a change in the status of the Emperor or a
revision of the renunciation-of-war-article will presage
a revival of ultranationalism and militarism. In the
second place, many of them regard any possible change
in the articles dealing with the fundamental human
rights as an opening wedge which will ultimately
result in giving a special status to Shinto Shrines,
and the Yasukuni Shrine in particular. There is a
not-unnatural fear that freedom of religion and the
separation of "church" and state may thereby be
compromised. Opposition to any change in Article
89, which has to do with the non-use of official funds
for religious purposes, is in the same class.
Although the opponents of amending the Constitution
are to be found in all the major religious groups, at
one point during the year there was a sharp exchange
of communications between the Buddhist Federation,
on the one hand, and some Christian organizations,
on the other, because (1) of a proposal that the
Buddhist Federation study the question of amending
the Constitution, and (2) the remarks of a prominent
Buddhist leader favoring changes in both Articles 20
and 89. It seems fair to say that, although some re
ligious groups favored revision, a still larger group
was opposed.
The international events which attracted the atten
tion of Japanese religionists were the agreement on a
fiO 1963 IN REVIEW
limited nuclear ban, the unfortunate position of Bud
dhists in Southern Vietnam, and the assassination of
President Kennedy.
SHRINE SHINTO
Approximately 1.5 million people — nearly 15 per
cent of the population of Tokyo — reportedly visited
Meiji Shrine on New Year's Eve and January 1, 1963.
The total for the first three days was said to have
exceeded two million — one of the largest crowds since
the end of World War II. Figures for other shrines
in the metropolitan area and throughout the nation
were equally impressive as the country was generally
blessed with favorable weather.
During the year Shinto leaders continued their ef
forts to promote a number of changes, primarily of a
social or political significance, which they regard as
of special importance not only for shrines but for the
development of sound patriotism. These included the
re-institution of February 11 as National Foundation
Day, enhancement of the use of the national flag and
the national anthem, a special legal status for Yasukuni
Shrine, and revision of .the Constitution.
On February 11 approximately 3,000 people gathered
in Hibiya Public Hall in Tokyo, for the annual ob
servance of National Foundation Day sponsored by
the Association of Shinto Shrines, and some 150
meetings of a similar nature were reportedly held
•oughout the country. However, the relatively small
number of meetings and the size of the crowds would

leaders actively participated in a rally of 6,000 people
on the Emperor's birthday (April 29) for the purpose
of organizing a society to preserve and promote the
use of the national flag.
Yasukuni Shrine was in the news on a number of
occasions during the year. In February, 150 men of
the French Navy made a formal visit to the shrine,
and in June the King of Thailand, who was in this
country on an official visit, sent a messenger with a
wreath and gift of money to Yasukuni Shrine and to
pay respects at the tomb for the unidentified war-dead
at Chidorigafuchi Park in Tokyo. But the shrine
was primarily in the news because of the increased
efforts on the part of its supporters and the bereaved
families to change its status from that of a religious
corporation to a civil status which will " preserve its
unique character and tradition " and enable it to re
ceive subsidies from public funds.
The most significant happening in the shrine world
in 1963 would appear to have been the appointment
by the Association of Shinto Shrines of a commission
to study the nature of Shrine Shinto and to define the
attitude of the Association on such matters as the
relation of shrines to the state, the spirit of shrines,
and shrine teachings (doctrine) . This commission
could have a very significant influence on the future
of Shinto in Japan.
There are 80,709 incorporated Shinto Shrines, which
have approximately 20,000 priests and an estimated
64.8 million worshippers ; but many incorporated bodies
include a number of individual shrines. There are,
in addition, thousands of small wayside shrines which
are unincorporated.

SECT SHINTO
Turning now to Sect Shinto, while a number of
the prewar sects of so-called Sectarian Shinto* count
their followers by the hundreds of thousands, and
Izumo Oyashiro-kyo (formerly Taisha-kyo) reports
2«3 million adherents, most of these sects have only
a few tens of thousands of followers, and none have
experienced any remarkable growth or engaged in any
very unusual activities in recent years. The fact is
that even the new, postwar Shinto-related sects are
not strong in comparison with many of the Buddhist
and unclassified sects. Outside Shrine Shinto, the
people as a whole do not seem to feel too deeply
concerned about Shinto as a faith. (Shinto Shusei-ha,
which used to claim more than 400,000 followers,
has sold its Tokyo headquarters and moved to more
modest facilities near Mount Fuji. It reports some
50,000 Members • Misogi-kyo, which in prewar years
had over 300,000 followers, today reports 25,000.)
It is still too early, of course, to venture a prophecy
as to what will happen to these faiths in the future,
but the general trend in recent years has been de
finitely unfavorable and there was no change in this
respect in 1963.
Onioto, which in recent years has affiliated with the
Sectarian Shinto Federation and thus has a more
active part in the religious world, continued its marked
interest in such organizations as the Anti A-H Bomb

Ananai-kyo, whose founder and leader, Yonosuke
Nakano, was imprisoned and cruelly treated during
World War II, is affiliated with the Union of New
Religious Organizations and is one of the more active
of the newer sects of Shinto derivation. During 1963
Ananaikyo sponsored the fourth Conference on Spiritual
Civilizations with 150 participants from 17 Southeast
Asian Countries.
Tenrikyo and Konkokyo, which for special reasons
continue as members of the Sectarian Shinto Federa
tion, although they regard themselves as unique,
independent religions, must be briefly mentioned but
cannot be adequately discussed. During 1963 Tenri-
kyo's patriarch, the Rev. Shozen Nakayama, visited
the United States and Brazil in order to promote the
overseas activities of the sect, and a quarterly maga
zine aimed at promoting missionary work in Korea
was inaugurated. (15,340 churches, 5,409 preaching
centers, 167,595 clergy, 2,124,084 members) (Incident
ally Tenrikyo is said to be the only Japanese-sponsored
pre-World War II religious movement in Korea which
has survived the war.)
Konkokyo suffered a severe loss in the death of
the third patriarch, the 82-year-old Rev. Setsutane
Konkd. Some 30,000 people attended his funeral.
In October the 80th anniversary of its founding was
celebrated for two weeks with an estimated 80,000
participants. (1,631 churches, 48 preaching centers,
3,837 clergy, 581,148 members)
The total number of local religious organizations
belonging to these sects is approximately 35,500, includ
ing some 24,000 churches and 11,500 preaching places.
These are served by approximately 176,900 profes-

sional workers almost evenly divided between men and
women and have a membership of about 13.8 million.
It should be noted, however, that Tenri-kyo alone
accounts for more than half (about 58%) of the local
religious bodies and more than 90% of the clergy.
BUDDHISM
Buddhism with its 166 separate sects incorporated
on a national level, an unknown number of small
sects active on only a local prefectural level, and some
1,500 independent temples, is very difficult to appraise.
Altogether there are approximately 109,000 priests and
22,500 nuns serving 75,640 temples and 17,568 chur
ches and propaganda centers. They minister to ap
proximately 61.7 million people who are regarded as
adherents. Moreover, there are some 1,382 kinder
gartens and day nurseries, 249 schools, colleges, and
universities, and 467 social welfare institutions of the
Buddhist tradition. Included in the above are both
the so-called established sects of what may best be
called temple Buddhism and an unknown number of
new sects, often mistakenly called new religions.
Is Buddhist growing ? Some 44 years ago, that is,
in 1919, the total number of Buddhist adherents was
officially reported to be about 45 million. In 1943,
although the population had increased to more than
73 million, the number remained about the same.
By 1961, however, Buddhist temples, churches, etc.,
reported 61.7 million adherents in a total population
of approximately 94 million.
It would appear, then, that in the past 40 years the

form group to group, In Tenrikyo not all ' clergy ' are full-
time ministers, the term specifying all who have taken courses

RELIGIOUS WORLD
numerical strength of Buddhism in relation to the
population has declined from about 80 to 65 per cent,
but this is an over-simplification. The figure today
includes not only the adherents of the established
sects but also those of the newer Buddhist sects.
There is, therefore, considerable duplication — perhaps
as much as 10 to 15 or even 20 million — because the
followers of the new sects do not as a rule leave
their traditional temples. In other words, the percen
tage of the population that are regarded as adherents
of the traditional temples has in fact declined from
some 80 to about 50 per cent, which is indeed a
serious matter for the established sects. Therefore,
although Buddhism as a whole is much more active
today than ever before in modern Japanese history,
there seems to have been no substantial increase in
the total numerical strength of the faith itself. Un
doubtedly because of the movement of the population
to the city, the long-established temples in rural areas
are numerically much weaker than ever before.
A second matter of considerable interest is the fact
that during 1963, because of the deplorable events in
South Vietnam, Buddhism received unprecedented at
tention in the newspaper headlines. Normally religion
is not considered to be newsworthy by the vernacular
press of this country, but 1963 was an exception.
Buddhism reached the front page on numerous oc
casions, largely in a favorable context— an experience
that is said to have helped boost the morale of Bud
dhists in general.
On the national scene, a number of developments
occurred which are worthy of note. The established
sects became more concerned over the inroads Soka
Gakkai, a militant Buddhist sect of the Nichiren
tradition, was making among their adherents and
66 1%3 IN REVIEW
resistance to it became stronger. Buddhist leaders
became outspoken in their dissatisfaction with certain
articles in the Constitution affecting religion. The
legal battle continued over the rights of temples in
respect to their burial grounds — another issue that
involved Soka Gakkai. Efforts to secure government
compensation for land taken from the temples in con
nection with the postwar land reform became more
concrete. A movement to promote Buddhist Sunday
Schools as a means of combating juvenile delinquency
was launched. Finally, leaders of the Japan Buddhist
Federation, which consists of some 150 sects and or
ganizations, expressed the opinion that the time had
come for the federation to function more positively.
It may be, therefore, that there will be greater activity
in 1964.
Buddhism, or more specifically the Lotus Sutra —
the most important scripture for a large section of
Japanese Buddhism — has provided the foundation and
the initial inspiration for the most influential newer
religious sects in this country. One of these, Reiyu
Kai, which gives primany emphasis to ancestor worship,
has been the source of some of the strongest. (The
only exception to this statement is Soka Gakkai which,
though based on the same scripture, follows a distinctly
different tradition.) In spite of numerous postwar
secessions, Reiyu Kai reported a total of nearly four
million adherents. In addition to a building program
in Shizuoka Prefecture, the headquarters announced
early last year that approval had been received from
the Ministry of Education to open a high school in
Tokyo in 1964.
Of the successful religious movements to have grown
out of ReiyQ Kai, Rissho Kosei Kai (with 2 million
members) is the most successful. Its Great Sacred
RELIGIOUS WORM) 67
Hall (Dai Seido) in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, has now
been completed, and will be opened in May 1964.
Its estimated capacity is 30,000 people, and the total
cost has exceeded ¥4,000 million or more than $11
million.
Other secessions count their followers by the hundreds
of thousands, whereas only three of the numerous
newer Buddhist sects, not of the ReiyQ Kai tradition,
report more than 100,000 followers.
SOKA GAKKAI
Soka Gakkai, which is also one of the newer move
ments of the Nichiren Buddhist tradition, has been
so much in the public eye throughout the year that
no adequate consideration of it can be given here in
the limited space available.
Its claims to remarkable monthly increases in mem
bership continued. Its success in the spring general
elections of 1963 was phenomenal at both national
and local levels. Its overseas expansion appears to
have been significant, although not enough is known
on this latter point to write with any assurance.
During the year a number of its leaders traveled
abroad, including visits to the USSR, and in September
20,000 representatives met in the great auditiorium
of Nippon University to celebrate completion of the
new headquarters building in Shinano-machi, Shinjuku
Ward, Tokyo. A venture into the field of choral
singing societies and orchestras as activities for its
youth was noteworthy last year. Shrine Shinto obser
vers express the opinion that the previous criticism
of shrine worship by Soka Gakkai leaders has abated
and that at present there is no confrontation between
the shrines and Soka Gakkai members. There is also
68 1963 IN REVIEW
evidence that some of the excesses of the past have
been curtailed. During 1963 the organization claimed
more than ten million followers, but conservative
estimates would put the number very much lower.
CHRISTIANITY
The visible evidence of Christian influence on the
life of the Japanese people is very considerable. Year
after year by means of literature, music, art, symbol,
and personal contact, the gospel is imperceptibly but
steadily penetrating deeper and deeper into the culture
of the country. A total of 32,694 individuals, were
baptized during 1962-63, and the total reported church
membership is 749,044. Yet institutionally Christanity
does not flourish. Statistically the Christian Church
hardly deserves to be compared with the major, or
even some of the minor, Buddhist and Shinto bodies,
but a statistical perspective alone would be no more
satisfactory than would one that completely ignored
the subject.
The Japan Orthodox Church, may be quoted to
llustrate the problems connected with statistics. Hav
ing reported for some years past a total membership
35,000 to 40,000, the new leaders of the Church
apparently decided to face the facts and make a new
start this year. Consequently, according to the 1964
Japanese-language Christian Year Book, the total mem-
•ship of the Church is 8,927. (A secessionist group
lated with the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow
; two congregations with a total membership of
Thus there has been a book loss of 25,000, but
be a mistake of course to conclude that this
actually occurred in 1963. To those already
familiar with the situation, the new figure came as
RELIGIOUS WORLD 69
no surprise. It was simply a matter of time before
this was bound to happen. The Orthodox Church,
which was founded by Russians but is not now
affiliated with Moscow, faced a great many diffi
culties during World War II and perhaps even more
in the postwar period. It is, therefore, a cause for
considerable satisfaction on the part of its friends that
the Church has apparently surmounted its more serious
problems and is now facing the future with new
leadership, vigor, and hope. It is hoped that generous
friends in the West will be able to help it to secure
full title to its property.
A delegation of dignitaries from the Russian Ortho
dox Church, that arrived in Tokyo in mid-December
from Moscow, came to visit the above-mentioned
small secessionist group.
Catholicism, with 308,000 believers in 1963, has at
last passed the seventeenth century figures. In com
menting on the religious situation in this country
a keen Buddhist observer remarked that 1963 could
well be characterized as the ''Catholic Year." The
Second Vatican Council, the death of Pope John
XXIII, the election of Pope Paul VI, the crisis in
South Vietnam, and finally the assassination of the
Church's most famous son, the late President John
F. Kennedy, all brought the Church into the limelight
in an unprecedented manner. Thanks in no small
measure to the changed attitude of the Church, a
refreshing breeze, or at least a zephyr, has been
blowing throughout the world of interfaith fellowship.
Protestantism in Japan is one of the most difficult
areas of the religious world to review with any degree
of confidence. In the first place, with its more than
80 denominations and some 150 foreign missionary
societies, not to mention innumerable church-related
?0 1963 IN REVIEW
societies, institutions, and movements, the situation
is so complicated that it is practically impossible for
any one individual, Japanese or foreign, to understand
and evaluate what is being done. In the second place,
it is very unlikely that a review of Protestantism can
be written with a perpective that will be considered
satisfactory to non-Christian observers, not to mention
innumerable Protestant critics. Who can say precisely
what a correct perspective is ? !
Although the Protestant movement obviously is pen
etrating the life of the nation in ways that are not
apparent in the church statistics, the statistics them
selves are of considerable interest. The total number
of reported baptisms for the past church-year was
17,079 and the total membership of all non-Catholic
and non-Orthodox churches is 431,015. Statistics
are not entirely accurate, as some denominations
(mainly smaller ones) fail to report, and older figures
must be used.
At any rate, the increase over the 1962 membership
was 27,169. Compared with a decade ago, there has
been a net gain of about 82 per cent or approximately
200,000 in total membership, which is probably about
all that can be expected at present in view of the
sectarian fragmentation and other conditions existing
in Protestantism.
Non main-stream movements.
Among the numerous significant Christian develop
ments in the post- World War II period, the emergence,
or the re -appearance, and rapid growth of a number
of movements outside the main stream of the Pro
testant Christian tradition has been very noticeable.
Christian Science, for example, has been in Japan
RELIGIOUS WORM) 71
since 1918 but until recently confined itself almost
entirely to the English language. Now, however,
considerable material is being prepared in Japanese
and it may be assumed that before long its Japanese
constituency will increase.
The Mormons, or the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints,* as the movement is officially called,
had missionaries in Japan between 1901 and 1920,
but because of government surveillance and ultimate
suppression no substantial movement resulted. In
1948, new missionaries began to arrive and since then
the Church has reported remarkable growth. In Tokyo
it has five branches and there is a total of 24 branches
throughout the country. As of March 30, 1964 there
were 173 missionaries, including 12 Japanese, active
in the country. The total number of members was
7,846.
Jehovah's Witnesses are not newcomers to this
country, either, but they also were not able to become
established in prewar years because of the attitude of
the government. The first postwar missionaries ar
rived in 1948. Today, it is reported that there are
68 missionaries in the country. Eighteen of these
live in Tokyo and the rest have taken up residence
in Kobe, Sapporo, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, and Kuma-
moto. Meetings are held in the missionaries' homes.
The Japanese clergy are reported to number 268 ; the
total number of believers is given as 2,580.
Of a somewhat different nature are two movements
which in a Japanese context, at least, can best be
described as " so-called new religions." One of these
is The Original Gospel (Genshi Fukuin) movement,
* A more recent comer to Japan is The Reorganized Church of
Latter Day Saints, which has its headquarters in Independence,
Missouri, USA.
72 1963 IN REVIEW
or T/ie Tabernacle of God (Kami no Makuyd)
groups. The founder of this movement is a layman
by the name of Ikuro Teshima, who began his formal
activities in Kumamoto about 1950. Generalities are
misleading but it seems appropriate to describe it as
a kind of Pentacostal movement which emphasizes
a direct, ecstatic experience of the Holy Spirit, es
pecially during periods of prayer and worship. From
the standpoint of traditional Protestant Christianity
the movement is unquestionably unorthodox. More
over, like the Non-Church Movement which has great
ly influenced the founder, it abhores anything of
an ecclesiastical or institutional nature. Meetings are
held in the homes of believers during the weekdays
and on Sundays in rented halls. A Tabernacle Bible
Seminary is conducted in Kumamoto. The movement
gained considerable publicity abroad in 1963 because
of a number of young men who have been sent to
study in the Holy Land, and the visit of Dr. Otto
Piper of Princeton Theological Seminary to Japan
under the auspicies of the group. There are reported
to be some 300 leaders of groups and more than
10,000 followers.
A second movement, also in the Pentecostal tradi
tion, is the Spirit of Jesus Church (lesu no Mitama
Kyokai], which gives special emphasis to speaking
with tongues as a criterion for baptism. This move
ment was first establised during World War II because
the founder, the Rev. Jun Murai, was unwilling to
became a part of the United Church of Christ in
Japan. Because of the rapidity of its growth, the
movement has attracted a great deal of attention.
According to the latest statistics it has 87 churches,
121 groups, 110 ministers, and 46,870 members.*
3,154 persons were baptized in 1962-63. Here as
RELIGIOUS WORLD 73
elsewhere, however, it must be remembered that the
statistics of this and other movements like it are based
on varying methods of computation. Consequently
they must be used with the greatest care, especially
where any comparison is made with other movements.
To determine what is truly significant may be be
yond the capacity of one person, but one can say that
the continued success of the January Hayama Mission
ary Conference, which brings together Protestant
missionaries of all groups, the excellence of the second
Japan Keswick Convention, which was held in Hakone
late in February, and an attendance of 2,500 ministers
and laymen at a Protestant Rally in the Tokyo area
on the Emperor's birthday (April 29) , confirm the
impression that there is a stronger feeling of unity
here than appears on the surf ace •• -The same is true
in respect to the conference of missionaries and Japan
ese of the reformed tradition which is held each
spring in the Kansai. One may refer, also, to the
Ecumenical Groups in Tokyo, Kyoto and Kobe, in
which Catholics and Protestants participate together.
The election of eight Christians to the Lower House
in the November elections, and numerous developments
in the field of social welfare and educational work
also bear witness to the wider impact of the Christian
Church in Japan.

CHAPTER 6
AN EPILOGUE : A COMPOSITE LOOK AT
THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT
Raymond Hammer
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
As Mr. Ogawa has said, little has happened to
upset conservative supremacy, and Dr. Matsushita has
suggested that a fundamental ' national consciousness ' ,
which he calls a 'moderate nationalism', is respon
sible for this conservatism.
The increased Communist vote is simply a cry of
discontent— and one feels that the success of Soka
Gakkai in the local elections in April 1963 is not due
so much to their increase in membership (which has
undoubtedly occurred, although credence cannot be
given to the extravagant claims made by the organiza
tion) as to a feeling of frustration in the face of
inter-party bickering and personal jealousies. The
vote for Soka Gakkai involves also a protest against
stagnation in local politics and a protest against the
widening income gap resulting from the government's
policy of economic growth. Those whose income is
not geared to the cost-of-living index feel keenly the
rise in commodity prices, encouraged by the income-
doubling policy — and so vote for a group which speaks
of 'disinterested polities'.
Despite a general rise in wages — with per-capita
incomes* now more than twice what they were in
1956 and improved working conditions necessitated
* The increase in real income has been especially marked in the
lower income groups. The general rise in 1963 was 1%, and in
1964 should average out at 8%.
YEAR IN RETROSPECT 75
by full employment and the labor shortages contingent
upon it, it should be remembered that no fewer than
6 \ million are either dependent on national as
sistance or are in straightened economic circumstances.
Such people have no defense against the general in
crease in prices, and they realize that there is no
imminent change expected in the trend of rising
prices. It is in such a context that Soka Gakkai's
claim to clean, disinterested politics has an appeal.
The regular parties are very concerned about Soka
Gakkai's declared intention of putting 30 candidates
into the next General Election for the Diet. Whether
the movement's soft pedalling of ' Shaku-buku ' (its
former militant proselytizing approach) is a vote-catch
ing manoeuvre or not remains to be seen.
The Christian cannot but admire the scrupulous
care shown by Soka Gakkai members in their exami
nation of the measures brought before the Upper
House. As Dr. Takenaka emphasizes, this world is
the place ui which God is working, and a neglect
of politics or an apathy towards public affairs is a
denial of fundamental Christian truth. The Christian's
approach to politics is too often unrelated to his
theological presuppositions or his faith-commitments,
and emotion is often given too large a determining
influence*
The Christian vote is sometimes aligned with the
left-wing approach of the intelligentsia, but if, as
Dr. Matsushita charges, the intelligentsia make their
criticisms from the standpoint of non-involvement (the
balcony rather than the road!), the Christian intel
lectual surely has the responsibility to bring a principle
of relevance and of existential involvement to bear
upon the situation. An idealism which is not alive
to the realities of a sinful world is pure escapism,
76 1963 IN REVIEW
and brings upon the Christian justifiably the accusa
tion that he is concerned with ' pie in the sky ' .
Mr. Ogawa has referred to the ' No War ' clause
as the main issue involved in the tussle over the re
vision of the Constitution, but one may point, too,
to a feeling of uneasiness on the part of opponents of
any revision as to the possibility of reform leading
to a stronger authoritarianism, with the Emperor's
status resembling more that of the Meiji Constitution.
It is a point of debate whether Dr. Matsushita's
* moderate nationalism ' would involve a return to
traditional social patterns or not.
JAPANESE SOCIETY
1. A city-based Society
We are accustomed to hearing of ' rapid social
change ' in most of the countries of Africa and Asia,
and there has been a tendency to draw a distinction
between Japan as a country which was already in
dustrialized and those which are newly accomodating
themselves to a scientific and technological age. Whilst
such a distinction has a measure of validity, it tends
to neglect the rapidity of change within Japan in the
post-war years. It is probably true to say that Japan
is more highly industrialized than most countries of
western Europe. Whilst it was once said that the
Church in Japan, because it was city-centered, was
not getting to the grass-roots of Japanese society,
because the roots were in the country, such a state
ment is no longer true. This is not to condone the
limitations of the Christian mission, but to say that
the city has now reached the country through the

medium of mass communication. Whereas only 10%
of the households had Television Sets in 1958, the
figure in 1963 was 90%— with the result that town
and country alike share in common influences. With
more than 60% of households with washing machines,
over 50% with electrical rice cookers (a luxury un
known six years ago) and electrical refrigerators in
one house in three, as opposed to one in thirty six
years ago, it is evident that modern conveniences are
no longer limited to the city. Whilst one may say
that the 'town consciousness' is now almost 100%,
it is also true that there has been a tremendous drift
from the country to the towns, largely made possible,
as Dr. Takenaka points out, by mechanization in the
country, coupled with a fast-expanding industrialization
in the towns. Whereas, in 1950, it was reckoned
that 37.5% of the population lived in towns over
against 62.5% in rural communities, in 1963 the
statistics gave 72.5% to the towns and only 27.5%
of the population to the rural units. Accordingly,
the Church is, if anything, better placed for its
evangelistic task than it was before — with its church
buildings, educational and social insititutions largely
city-centered.
2. Juvenile Delinquency
With a newly developing affluent society, based
upon a constantly expanding economy, Japan is con
fronting new problems, and not the least in significance
is that of juvenile delinquency. Today's adolescents
find themselves launched into a society, where spend
ing is the order of the day, and where advertising's
new power can prove a strong stimulant to self-gratifi
cation. Where life is more easygoing, the child often
78 1963 IN REVIEW
experiences over-protection, and criminal action be
comes the release either from ennui or from the sudden
(and unaccustomed) experience of a frustrated desire.
More fundamental, however, is the continuing break
down of the old family system, in accordance with
which society was formerly ordered.
Old patterns of discipline, based upon a firm parent-
child relationship, no longer obtain, and there is no
alternative ethical basis for conduct. Whilst there
has been some attempt to introduce ethics into the
school curriculum, there is still no common mind as
to the content or the form that such instruction is to
take. Whatever the cause of the indecision — and a
suspicion of government directives is undoubtedly in
volved — the result is that a vacuum situation still exists.
The fact that more than half the juvenile offences
occur within a gang context is a pointer to the new
corporate groupings that have emerged in Japan's
modern cities.
3. The Status of Women
The present status of women is a further example
of the breakdown of the old family system. Prime
Minister Ikeda has created two women ministers — the
first since parliamentary government was introduced
into Japan in the Meiij Period. The new constitution
emphasized legal equality between the sexes, which
meant that women could be regarded as individuals
rather than family dependents. Today more than 40%
of the total labor force is female, and, whilst the
average wage has been below 50% of the male
?rage, there are evidences of a change in this re-
For example, the casual labor of married
women, whilst still rewarded at a much lower rate
YEAR IN RETROSPECT 79
than regular labor, calls for three times the remunera
tion it did two years ago. Women in administrative
work have increased more than three-fold in the past
15 years, and, whilst they are little more than 3%
of the total, yet the number is on the increase. It is
significant that more than one-third in the professional
fields are women.
The falling birth- -rate*, due to wider use of con
traceptives in conjunction with a continued high abor
tion rate**, has enabled married women to engage
in wider activities, and has encouraged their participa
tion in social and religious work. A woman driver
of a private car or a small truck in the traffic-thronged
roads would not invite a second glance.
4. Religion and Society
With changes in society, the pattern of Japanese
religious life is also changing. < Family religion ' does
not have the same pull that it had heretofore, and
polls reveal that barely one in four (if that) have
close links with a religious organization. Affiliation
to the sect or the religion may still be reckoned on
the basis of the family — but such a reckoning will
soon lead to faulty statistics, as adherence is now far
more individualistic. The new group unit comes into
being through the adherence of the individuals ; in
* Whereas, in pre-war Japan, the average was 5.2 children per
family, the average is now 2.9, whilst amongst the salaried class
the average is little more than 2.
'* Apart from occasional statements from the Christian Home
Committee of the National Christian Council and the Roman
Catholics, the problem of abortion has not been adequately con
sidered as a moral problem within the churches, and legal abor
tions take place as frequently in church-related hospitals as else
where.

association they form a new corpus. Whereas older

quarters), which was almost like the parent of the

whilst exercising control from the center, yet permit

whose very inter-dependence creates in turn the

5. The Church and Society
Dr. Takenaka's article is largely concerned with
the Kyodan, but what he writes is true (in the main)
of the entire Church in Japan.* If anything, the
Kyodan has been ahead of other Protestant churches
in its consciousness of mission towards society— and
the problem of inner-church communication is not
limited to the Kyodan ! The best thinking of any
church is usually far ahead of the rank and file, and,
unless such thinking penetrates to the grass roots,
the Church as a whole can hardly be said to be com
mitted to its mission towards society.
As we have seen, the Japan of 1964 is far more
industrialized in many ways than western Europe, and
the Church needs to be far more imaginative in its
task, not dragging on behind, but, as Dr. Takenaka
would say, leading the way in the proclamation of
the Gospel of the re-creating power of God. Nor
must it be forgotten that, despite the strong religious
* What Dr. Takenaka says of the falling-away from the Kyodan
in the post-Occupation years was true of all the denominations.
In almost every case the immediate post-war years were spent in
the building of churches rather than in the building of the Church!
It is as the Church is built up and strengthened that it can respond
to the call to mission.

movements emerging on the complex religious map
of Japan, so ably sketched by Dr. Woodard, Japanese
society embraces a fundamentally irreligious attitude
as well, and that the Church is to speak not only to
a variety of faiths, but also to a completely secularized
unfaith.
II. THE CHURCH
Editor: Norman Nuding
CHAPTER 1
THE NATIONAL CHRISTIAN COUNCIL AND
ECUMENICAL DEVELOPMENTS
Chuzo Yamada
This will be a year long remembered in the history
of the Japan National Christian Council. For the first
time since its organization the elected Chairman of
the NCCJ came from a group other than the United
Church. Dr. Chitose Kishi of the Japan Evangelical
Lutheran Church assumed the Chairmanship and be
came the spearhead of a strong Executive Committee
assisted by Dr. Isamu Omura (Moderator of the
United Church) Vice-Chairman, and the Right Rev.
Hinsuke Yashiro (Presiding Bishop of the Anglican,
Episcopal Church in Japan) Vice Chairman. Together
they have undertaken "joint action for mission" in
Japan. In reviewing the past year this is the under-
girding factor of any accomplishments in the NCCJ.
If Ecumenicity is to be seriously considered in Japan
it must be a live issue between the already existing
churches within Japan. We need to take a long look
at the facts of our present situation in this regard.
Before World War II the then existing 36 denomina
tions were forced into one united church. Even if
we look at the whole world situation there is nothing
to parallel that uniformity. However this was not
real " unity ". At the end of World War II, because
there was no real integration, those former groups
NCC 83
which took a strong confessional stand withdrew from
this uniformity (for instance, Anglican, Lutheran,
Baptist, Salvation Army, Narazene, Holiness etc.).
However a resurgence of oneness came back to Japan
from the western churches, and the necessity for an
NCCJ was made manifest. There were banded into
this organization not only churches but also many
other Christian related bodies. Therefore the nature
of this organization is somewhat different from a
council of Churches. Just what the ultimate purpose
of the NCCJ may become has not yet been clearly
drawn out. The NCCJ is at the present time view
ing the Japanese Christian scene with a wide per
spective, trying to help where it can by bringing
about a fuller realization of ecumenicity. However,
at the present time we are not moving in a direction
toward union or uniformity.
If Christians in Japan are to take Ecumenicity
seriously, they must learn to establish communication
with their Asian Christian brothers. The church in
Japan has had strong ties with the church in America.
Thus far it has not had much relationship with the
rest of the churches in Asia. The ecumenical view
point of the church in Japan has been deepened since
its envolvement with other Asian churches in the
East Asian Christian Conference. There are churches
in Asia which have a longer history and are stronger
than the church in Japan. However, those churches
have lived in an atmosphere of colonialism and have
quite a different background than the church in Japan.
Even though the Japan Church is small and weak it
has a distinct contribution to make. For instance it
might be able to share its theological resources with
the rest of Asia, or perhaps some of the laymen of
church which are qualified technically or professionally,
g4 THE CHURCH
may have a contribution to make in the rest of Asia.
During the past year there has been a decided in
crease in interchange with other churches in Asia.
Three significant meetings have been convened by the
East Asia Christian Conference.
1 . Situation Conferences under the auspices of the
EACC were held in Madras, Singapore and at "Amagi
Sanso", a retreat center on the Izu Peninsula of
Japan. These Situation Conferences were held because
"it was increasingly evident that the time had fully
come for churches and their related mission agencies in
a given geographical area to come together and face
together, as God's people in that place, their total
mission and to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit
in fulfilling it". Representatives from the churches
in Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan
gathered at the Japan Conference. In addition, there
were Mission representatives from America and Eu
rope, and executives from the WCC and the EACC.
This marks the first time that such a gathering has
been possible. There have been exchanges on the
personal level between Christians of various Asian
nations, but at last it has been made possible for
representatives of Asian Churches to come together
in order to seriously examine their mutual problems.
The delegates were given the privilege of finding one
another in Christ. For those who attended it was a
time of joy and thankfulness to God.
The focus of attention was placed upon the contrast
of the existing approaches, structures and work, and
those which conceivably ought to be pursued in the
future. The Conference felt that many times the
church is committed to established work and has few
resources remaining for new tasks. In the past there
has been the tendency to look upon Ecumenicity as
NCC
a world-wide gathering of Christian leaders. But now
it became clear that it is a movement which affects
the various institutions of the church and the arms
of the church which reach out in service. They too
must become ecumenically envoi ved.
2. Out of the Situation Conferences there developed
the need to pursue in some detail the problem of
Inter-Church Aid. In October of 1963 six Japanese
churchmen, related to this problem in Japan, traveled
to Hong Kong for a Consultation. It was an epoch
making meeting.
A new concept developed out of the conversations
of this meeting. "Joint action for mission" had
previously been talked about. The consultation brought
about the realization of the need for "joint action
in service". As the delegates discussed the detailed
activities of Inter-Church Aid, they became more
acutely conscious that they were only beginning to
scratch the surface in understanding what it means
to live and work as one people.
It was asserted at the conference that if "joint ac
tion in service" is to be a possibility, a growing
responsibility must be placed upon the shoulders of
the NCC's. This had its effect upon the structures
that are presently in effect in Japan. Up until now,
that area of work has been handled by Japan Church
World Service, related to the NCCJ. Out of this
conference has developed the necessity for working
toward an integration of Church World Service, more
fully into the life of the NCCJ.
Another effect which the consultation had upon the
life of the church in Japan was the awareness that
we need to think more in terms of a nation-wide
approach in drawing up a list of acceptable projects.
These projects will not be for the benefit of the
86 THE CHURCH
church itself, but rather will be carried on as "joint
action in service". It has been determined that such
a nation-wide study should be undertaken in the near
future.
3. The Second General Assembly of the EACC
was convened in Bangkok, in the later part of February
1964. This gathering was significant not only for the
Assembly itself but for the Pre-Assembly meetings
which were held. There was also an opportunity for
interchange beetween the various executives of the
NCC's at the combined NCC staff meeting.
Perhaps the most significant development that came
out of this meeting was increased participation of the
North East Asian nations. Up until now the churches
of Japan and to some extent Korea have been weak
in their participation in the EACC. The Korean
Christian Church in Japan was accepted as a member.
Dr. Isamu Omura was elected Vice-Chairman of the
group. In the future Christians of Japan will be ac-
:ive in the EACC. Together with this new found
was an increased discovery of what Ecumeni-

upon not only the churches in Asia but upon the

ing extreme hardship. An appeal was sent out at the
time of the earthquake in Bali. Christians in Japan
responded. Approximately ¥350,000 was sent for
the relief of those suffering from the disaster.
A special offering was received for the hungry
peoples of Korea. About ¥295,000 was gathered.
It had been the original plan to send rice, but Japan
ese governmental regulations did not allow this, so that
noodles were sent instead. Through the assistance of
Japan Church World Service, 8,800 packages of nood
les were shipped to Korea.
Another gift was sent to the church in Taiwan
through the auspices of the Japan Christian Medical
Association. Approximately ¥2,040,000 was given
by the children of Japan, from Church Schools,
Kindergartens and Nurseries, and Church related
schools. This gift was sent to the Church in Taiwan
for use among lepers and for childrens evangelism.
The NCCJ has had some changes within itself.
"Kozensha", a group with a very long history, has
applied for associate membership. This group does
not hold any institutions itself, but it does the work
of Christian evangelism among residents of the various
leper institutions of Japan. During the one year
absence of the Rev. Newton Thurber, the Rev.
Norman Nuding has acted as Associate General Secre
tary. Mr. Hedemi Ito has joined the staff as assistant
to the General Secretary. Mr. Norbert Klein has
joined the staff of the Study center of Japanese
Religions (an NCCJ related body) in Kyoto.
CHAPTER 2
THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH FEDERATION
Hiroshi Kitagawa
The Japan Evangelical Church Federation has
now been in existence for fourteen years. It is com
posed of nine evangelical denominations and has many
individual members. About one thousand ministers
and about 40,000 believers are a part of the fellow
ship.
Next to the National Christian Council of Japan it is
the strongest inter-denominational association in Japan.
The Federation at its inception joined the Interna
tional Evangelical Fellowship, and has now sent
delegates to its conventions four times.
The Federation has been pleased in the past to
cooperate with the N.C.C.J. in such evangelical meet
ings as the " Billy Graham " campaign and the
14 World Vision " campaign. The objective of the
group is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, true to
biblical doctrine.
The group in Japan is known as " The Evangelical
Church Federation" but internationally it is known
as the "Evangelical Fellowship of Japan". The
international Fellowship is loosely connected, but ties
in Japan are much closer. There are joint winter
and summer meetings, Church School teacher seminars
and young peoples meetings. The Federation has
50,000 copies of a hymn book called
(Evangelical Songs). This is the only
which brings income to the Federation to help
defray its expenses.
One aspect of the Federation's activity is the " New
ECF 89
Century Crusade". This represents an evangelistic
effort which was started at the time of the Protestant
Centennial in Japan. During that year, large gather
ings were held in Tokyo, one of them with seven
thousand people in attendance. The next year cam
paigns were held in seven different cities. The
following year thirty cities were chosen for large
gatherings. Each year a number of seekers, came
forth from these meetings. However last year a
slightly different approach was used. In an effort to
strengthen the weaker churches, several teams of
preachers were sent out to travel through smaller
churches in Japan. For the program this past year
a special offering was taken. It was decided that
there would be campaigns to the extent of the funds
received in the offering.
We are thankful for the part we have in the
Christian ministry in Japan, and pray that God will
help us to do more.

RENEWAL OF TFIE CHURCH 91
It is not without significance that the one period
of rapid growth of the Church (1883—89) was the
direct outcome of a mighty revival, when for the first
time the expression, "ribaibaru," entered the Japanese
religious vocabulary. This renewal of the Church
had its inception in the Union Week of Prayer,
January 1883, when all churches united in earnest
prayer for the power of the Holy Spirit to witness
effectively to unbelievers. As Dr. James Ballagh said
at the time, " we especially need this enduement with
the power of the Holy Ghost for the attainment of
the unity of the Holy Spirit among ourselves .... and
power to reconcile the world unto God. " Dr. Jo
Niijima later reported abundant answer to this petition
and spoke of " perfect unity between the brethren
who are happily united in the Lord", and of "minis
ters who have returned to their churches like new men
who have received fresh light, grace and power from
on high.'* Daily prayer meetings continued in the
churches, and many whose acceptance of Christianity
had been only an intellectual acknowledgement of the
truth, now came to a real sense of sin and received
Christ as Savior ; with the result that their most
earnest desire was to further the spiritual welfare of
others. Churches everywhere were crowded with
eager listeners and all churches enjoyed large increases
in membership for several years. This evident rela
tionship between the unity of the Spirit and fruitful-
ness is most significant.
The Japan Keswick Convention
As was the case with the earlier Japan Convention
for the Deepening of the Spiritual Life, a similar
emphasis on the renewal of the Church by the direct
92 THF CHURCH
operation of the Holy Spirit is an essential feature of
present Japan Keswick Convention. In fact, through
the years the name "Keswick" has become in
creasingly a kind of technical term for gatherings
which stress the deepening of the spiritual life of
A new impetus has been given to the
mission of the Church as many have experienced the
power of the Holy Spirit which is available to every
believer for holiness of life and effectiveness in wit-
, and many have gone back to their communities
transformed, to minister henceforth in newness of life.
The Japan Keswick Convention is a part of the spirit
ual fruitage of the Osaka and Tokyo Christian Cru
sades and the Ministers Seminars, conducted through
the generous cmperation of World Vision Inc., which

those who are vitally concerned for the renewal of
the Church. The next convention will be held at the
Hakone Kowakien, February 23 — 26, 1965.
Many have testified of the spiritual quickening
which has come to the churches as ministers and
believers have experienced heart cleansing and the
filling of the Holy Spirit. A Hokkaido pastor speaks
of the great joy which he has experienced in the
fulness of the Spirit which he received as he was
able to pray undisturbed in a peaceful place. " Unlike
so many conferences, Keswick is not the occasion of
endless discussion and listening to human theories and
opinions, but rather the hearing of the Word of God
and making the personal application in one's life. "
Another minister who found his heart's desire in the
filling of the Holy Spirit said "Too many of us
ministers like to teach dogma but neglect private
prayer and listening to God's Word with an obedient
heart. " He suggests that churches include Keswick
in their budgets so that many believers will be able
to attend next year. A prominent minister from
Kyushu, whose faith had grown cold after many
years of Christian service, came under conviction and
rededicated himself to the Lord, with consequent
renewal of spirit. A young layman found himself
in a room with members of seven different denomi
nations, engaged in united prayer. He said, "for
the first time I realized something of what it means
to be a member of the body of Christ. " An elderly
lady of eighty four years came all the way from
Kyushu and received a fresh vision of the possibilities
of Christian witness. She gave up her plan for sight
seeing and after purchasing a number of copies of
Keswick message books and tape recordings returned
to her home community to share the blessings with

others. A labor union official who had engaged in
many bitter strike battles and suffered much, returned
to his former home church, only to find that he was
not welcome. When he saw a Keswick Convention
announcement he decided to attend, " though socially
and spiritually discouraged. " Afterwards he said,
" here I was renewed by the Holy Spirit and returned
to my task with fresh vision and new strength. " A
minister who suffered persecution during the war,
with imprisonment and hard labor in the mines, had
become backslidden and powerless. Reference to
Peter's denial in one of the addresses brought him
under conviction and he acknowledged his backslidden
condition. He testifies, "I was renewed in faith and
became a new man in Christ, and for the first time
in many years experienced the stimulus of the Holy
A college professor while listening to a

THE ASHRAM MOVEMENT
Imix>rtant among the events which have been the
ision of the renewal of the churches are the bi-
vangelistic missions of Dr. E. Stanley Jones
s eightieth year, this indefatigable mission-
s paid eight visits to Japan since the war and
I ^ngelitic mass meetings in many cities
While these campaigns have been under
[eneral auspices of the NCCJ, the churches of
RENEWAL OF THE CHURCH 95
unaffiliated denominations have in many cases lent
cooperation, and the follow up work has been left to
the local churches. He has given himself with deep
devotion to this service which has always been at his
own expense.
Most noteworthy for the renewal of the churches
are the Ashrams or retreats which are conducted in
seven or eight districts of the land, with each one of
three or four days duration. Though the emphasis
is in many respects similar to that of the Keswick
Convention, the importance of lay effort is stressed,
with the " prayer cell " as the vital nucleus of Chris
tian growth and witness. The aim has been to es
tablish prayer groups in as many churches as possible,
to pray for the Church, for pastors and for the
Christian witness of the group, with special emphasis
on prayer for spiritual quickening of the Church in
Japan. This prayer fellowship is stimulated and spiri
tual experiences shared through a monthly paper
known as the Prayer Companion. Dr. Jones was ac
companied in his recent itinerary by the Rev. Sten
Nilsson of Sweden who is the leader of the Ashram
movement in Europe and a man of wide experience
in the ministry of group prayer. The perennial em
phasis of the Ashrams is on personal dedication to
Christ who is the center of devotional life and gospel
witness. As many have experienced on these occas-
ion>, the believer must be emptied of the self life
and receive the filling of the Holy Spirit in order to
render faithful obedience to the will of God in Christ.
Since an Ashram of four years ago a group of about
fiik-en women representing several churches have been
meeting in a missionary home for united prayer and
tin sharing of needs and experiences. This group,
like many others, has proven to be a channel of
THE CHURCH
spiritual renewal which the Spirit has signally used
to quicken the lay witness of the Church.
PRAYER BREAKFASTS
Early morning prayer meetings are being held in
increasing numbers throughout Japan, especially in
the metropolitan areas. These are usually followed
by breakfast in order to accommodate laymen who
have the work of the day before them. Such meet
ings for united prayer are largely the result of the
spiritual stimulus of the Osaka and Tokyo Christian
Crusades and the International Christian Leadership
movement, not to mention the increasing interest of
laymen in the active witness of the gospel. Each
session includes a Bible reading and meditation by
the chosen leader of the day, the sharing of experi-
encs and special prayer needs and voluntary prayer
as the Spirit leads. These gatherings are proving to
lie an effective instrument in the evangelization of
business men and deepening the spiritual life of those
who meet in this way. The second annual convent
ion of Prayer Breakfasts was held at Aoyama Gakuin
University in April 1963.
Space forbids further details concerning spiritual
movements in Japan, which under the leadership and
quickening of the Holy Spirit contribute to the renewal
of the Church. Since the war, God has graciously
ordered a widespread sowing of His Word in this
the third largest distribution in the world.
with such an extensive sowing of the Word
s preparing for a great harvest of souls. This
constitutes the imperative need for the renewal of
the Church in Japan.
CHAPTER 4
THE CHURCH IN JAPAN
Norman H. Nuding
We are not asked many times to take a compre
hensive look at all of the churches who are working
in Japan. The author in attempting to compile this
section of the Japan Christian Yearbook has grown to
appreciate the difficulty of such a task. The number
of churches working in Japan is overwhelming. Since
it would be impossible to give space to an article
from each individual church, we have requested that
a representative person give us an insight into the
work of a family of churches. Consequently this
section will contain, by and large, articles written
regarding "groups" of churches. We are aware
that this approach will inevitably overlook certain
significant work which is being done in Japan. Even
as we apologize for those omissions, we are confronted
by the truly wide breadth which this survey is able
to encompass.
In the life of the churches working in Japan this
has not been a particularly dramatic year. Trends
which were started some years age continue building
momentum. Post-war mission groups have almost
all been responsible for establishing and transferring
authority to Japanese churches. Churches continue
the fight to reach out into areas of life where the
gospel is not known. Organizational structures have
been strengthened to give a sturdier base for future
developments. Dialogue between the churches has
grown from non-audible gestures to a barely audible
whisper. The churches in Japan have come to value
98 T1IC CHURCH
more highly the possibility of increased communica
tion with their brothers in the Christian churches of
Asia. But the church has been the church. It has
struggled to meet effectively the problems that each
new day has brought. The fact of its life is cause
for thanksgiving to Almighty God.

The Japan Alliance Church is training its own
pastors and workers at the Hiroshima Bible School.
The graduating class of 1964 saw six young men and
two young ladies sent out into the work. To bolster
the training program in Japan promising young men
and pastors are being sent to the United States to
receive further training.
A recently dedicated "Christian Country Com
munity Center", near Matsuyama in Shikoku is
unique in Alliance work. This provides community
services such as child training, singing, English classes,
certain courses in home economics, kindergarten train
ing, as well as worship and evangelism. This new
center was dedicated in memory of Pastor Ogata who
had served many years in Matsuyama.
In Japan the work spreads its influence and testimony
through radio and literature. The spirit of the work
is being re-enforced by a recently inaugurated Spiritual
Life Conference on the island of Miyajima.
The Japan Covenant Church owes its origin to the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit in Scandanavian lands
during the closing decades of the 19th century. It
spread to America and other areas, including fields
like Japan. However, the Japan Covenant work was
opened in 1949 with the arrival of their first mission
aries to this country. It is amazing to note how the
Lord has worked in this very brief period of time.
Churches have been established in Niigata and in
Kanagawa Ken, in Odawara, Kofu, Hiratsuka and
Chigasaki.
At the Covenant Seminary and Bible School, located
in Meguro Ku, in Tokyo, a four year course is offered
for preparation of Covenant pastors and a shorter
course of two years for lay- workers, including women.
There is a steady drive toward the upgrading of

CHURCH IN JAPAN 101
The Far Eastern Gospel Crusade has developed a
national Church known as the Nippon Shinyaku
Kyodan. The work of this group was opened in
Japan through the vision of godly chaplains who came
to Japan with the earliest occupation forces, after
the close of the Pacific War. The work is, therefore,
very new but it is filled with hope and vision for a
solid and spiritual ministry.
This work centers largely near the Mt. Fuji, Yoko
hama and Tokyo areas with gospel halls and churches
in a number of places. Three of the Churches, Ome,
Higashi-Matsuyama and Yokohama began buildings
last year which were completed in the spring of 1964.
The Church in Hachioji and Ome are planning special
evangelistic efforts in connection with the 1964 autumn
Olympics.
Though both the national Church and missionaries
are working side by side, the progress is slow but
steady, both in numbers and maturity of spiritual
life. The number of baptisms in 1963 was encourag
ing. The leadership training program of the Nihon
Shinyaku Kyodan is tied largely into the Japan Christian
College. There are now seven in training, three
young men and four women.
The Overseas Missionary Fellowship is a direct
descendant of the China Inland Mission and arose in
Japan following the expulsion of missionaries from
China with the coming of Communism into power about
14 years ago. Missionaries were transferred to Japan
from China to open work and others have joined
them from Europe and America. This work is being
done in northern Honshu and on Hokkaido. Because
it is one of the newest groups in Japan it is very
closely related to the missionaries at every point.
" Fukuin " or Gospel Churches are to be found

in such places as the coal mining areas, in Mikasa"
and in Akahira. In Mikasa, though there was a loss
of ahout 30*0 of the members through the closing
of coal mines the membership has been faithful and
goes forward with plans for purchasing land and
having a church building erected by the summer of
1964. They now fully support their Pastor who was
working only part-time in the Church. In
Akabira, a similar situation has come about. On
rented land the church is striving hard to build its
own place of worship with hopes of opening the doors
in late April of this year.
In Aomori Ken, as of February, 1963 some nine
ikuin Churches have cooperated, together with
local missionaries, to sponsor a weekly fifteen minute,
Ken-wide Gospel Broadcast over Radio Aomori. A
good percentage of the funds for this has come from
local believers.

During the year, 1963, several more Churches and
a good number of young pastors were added to the
ranks. These pastors and churches are to be found
in several Ken from Aomori to the Kansai, along
both east and west coasts and down the center of
the main island, as well as in Shikoku. Added to
this expansion is the establishment of a loose formal
relationship between it and a number of independent
churches of like purpose and doctrine. It is of in
terest to note that it has been proposed that the title
of chairman be transferred from the Mission to the
head of the Domei Kyodan. Thus the official board
will be made up of missionaries and Japanese pastors,
with the official head to be Japanese.
Many young men are being trained at the Japan
Christian College while others come to pastorates
from seminaries in Tokyo. A phase of training that
is envisioned in a growing measure is that of Sunday
Schools and the encouragement of the Sunday School
movement among the churches.
Church planting has been stressed in greater Tokyo
during the past year. Two new preaching places
were opened with a regular program and place of
meeting. Others are anticipated in answer to prayer
and effort within the calendar year 1964. The very
challenge of suffering through the serious illness and
repeated surgery undergone by Pastor M. Matsuda
has bound this group together in prayer and with
answered prayer a new sense of rejoicing and assurance
that He still hears and answers.
There are other Alliance type groups which are
working in Japan. The German Alliance Mission
working on Sado Island, The Norwegian Alliance
Mission working in Kanagawa prefecture and the
Liebenzeller Mission coming out of Germany, and
1()1 THE CHURCH
working in Kanagawa and Ibaragi Prefectures are
all additions to the number of Alliance affilated groups^
Each of these groups has Japanese nationals involved
in their work.
THE ANGLICAN EPISCOPAL CHURCH
/. G. Hayashi & Raymond Hammer
With an annual growth of little more than 3%, the
Anglican Episcopal Church in Japan can hardly be
credited with outstanding energy or highly successful
evangelistic methods. In a country, however, where
there is a tremendous movement of population, it
often takes some hard running to stand still ! There
is much happening, and the Church has been chal
lenged by the message of the Pan-Anglican Congress
at Toronto in August 1963— with its emphasis on
'Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence '—but the
full implication of interdependence is far from being
recognized as yet, although Bishop Goto (of Tokyo
Diocese) was one of the main platform speakers in
support of the Congress document. Professor Endo
(of the Central Theological College) was another
Japanese to make the platform at Toronto, joining
the panel which considered the Christian confrontation
of the world without the Church. The fact that more
than 30 went from Japan to the Congress made the
Church in Japan very conscious of its outside links.
One move towards closer outside links is seen in
Bishop Goto's present participation in the work of the
Washington diocese in Washington, D. C. and the
proposed visit of Bishop Creighton from Washington
CHURCH IN JAPAN 105
to Tokyo. An International Committee is also spon
soring the scheme for the construction of a Tokyo
Cathedral opposite to Tokyo Tower. As a first step
the new Diocesan Center is under construction, and
completion is scheduled for June, 1964.
There is also close Japanese-American co-operation
in Okinawa. Whilst the Anglican-Episcopal work
there is under the direction of the Bishop of Honolulu,
the Okinawan clergy and workers are trained in Japan,
and, in addition, Japanese priests are aiding in the
evangelistic, social and pastoral program there. The
Kiyosato Education Experimental Project (pioneered
by Dr. Paul Rusch) also looks abroad to America
and Canada, but has a vigorous Japanese Committee.
The Experimental Farming School is now in full
swing, and it is hoped that a new wing will be added
to the Rural Hospital in the near future. The estab
lishment of the Youth Camp Center has meant that
even more groups can be accommodated in the summer,
and in summer 1963 the Tokyo and Yokohama Dio
ceses experimented in large summer camps, which
were attended by wide cross-sections of the church
population. (In connection with camps, reference
must be made to the developments at St. Mary's
Camp by Lake Yamanaka. Amid a very full program
of camps, one especially valuable feature is the * Lay
Leadership' Camp — attended by upwards of 80 people.)
The Rev. MarkToshio Koike was consecrated Bishop
of Osaka on April 28th, 1963, and the Bishop sub
sequently became Principal of Poole Gakuin on the
death of Mr. Tanaka, its former Principal. His Dio
cese is making some headway in the problem of
penetrating the ' Danchi ' (large apartment blocks)
with the Gospel, whilst there is occupational evan
gelistic work in Amagasuki and Sakai.
106 THE CHURCH
During the year 1963-64 ten have been added to
the ranks of the clergy (six in the Kobe Diocese, and
one each in the Hokkaido, Osaka, Kyushu and Tokyo
Dioceses), whilst six have been promoted to the
priesthood. There have been four deaths (two in the
Tokyo Diocese) and one retirement. The inadequacy
of available pensions in the face of Japan's steeply
rising standard of living has made it impossible as
yet to implement the decisions of the General Synod
in 1962 and the House of Bishops with respect to
compulsory retirement of priests and bishops at 72
and 75 years respectively. The local churches have
been doing their utmost to raise the level of their
clergy salaries, but the burden involved both here and
in the construction of new buildings to replace the
small, inadequate postwar structures has at times
blunted the outward evangelistic thrust and made it
impossible for the Church in Japan to take the finan
cial responsibility for the training of its clergy, that
some would feel desirable. What funds that do come
from overseas for clergy funds are now being largely
devoted to the starting of new work rather than to
the subsidizing of existing work.
The fact that control and direction of the Church
are in Japanese hands is everywhere recognized, but
two incidents emphasized the move from mission to
church. One was the return of the Epiphany Sisters
to England in April 1963— with no immediate prospect
of a return contingent. By contrast the Nazareth
Sisterhood, which they were responsible in founding,
has gone on from strength to strength, and has started

During 1963, new Chapels were dedicated in St.
Paul's High .School and Primary School, the former
an interesting modernistic design of Antonin Raymond's,
whilst Christ Church, and Hachioji Churches were
restored and dedicated. 1964 has seen the opening of
new churches in Fujisawa, Kofu and Naoetsu. In
Kyoto, St. John's Church — on a down-town site — was
pulled down, and, apart from the church and kinder
garten, a large ten -story apartment building is in
construction — together with a Supermarket on the first
floor!
The Seamen's Mission in Kobe completed its build
ing in November 1963, the foundation stone having
been laid by the Archbishop of York during his visit
in June. April 1963 also saw the opening of a new
Boys' High School in Kobe, named Yashiro Gakuin
after Bishop Yashiro. The Bishop of Kobe also has
a scheme for the training of would-be emigrants to
Brazil. (The link with South America is seen further
in the dispatch of a group of would-be settlers to
Brazil from the Elizabeth Sanders' Home in Oiso and
in the establishment of an Institute for Portuguese and
Spanish Studies at St. Paul's University)
The Committee on Industrial Evangelism organized
Study Conferences in August 1963 and April 1964,
and it has been gratifying to see stronger lay partici
pation. It is still, however, in its infant stage.
The Central Committee on Student work also had
summer and winter meetings for study and strategic
planning.
August 1963 saw a meeting of all engaged in
nursery school work, whilst educationalists and social
workers also had their respective group meetings. The
students of the Central Theological College held a
summer mission in Tokushima Prefecture on the island

of Shikoku, whilst branches of the St. Andrew's had
their customary program of mission and service at the
parochial level in the summer.
Students from Virginia mingled with youth from
Kobe Diocese in a Work Camp engaged on the
Yashiro Gakuin buildings during July and August
1963.
Anglicans have continued to take a leading part in
Ecumenical gatherings in Tokyo, Kyoto and Kobe,
and have initiated a Group in Nagoya. Roman
Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant speakers have been
welcomed at the Central Theological College. It is
widely felt, however, that, as yet, there is little ade
quate church-with-church dialogue and discussion. So
much of the participation in Faith and Order Study

THE BAPTIST CHURCHES
Noah S. Branncn
There are Baptist missionaries representing fifteen
different sending societies cooperating with eight dif
ferent organizations of Baptist churches and four mis
sions in Japan. This group constitutes the " family
of Baptists" in Japan, though there exists no one
administrative organization for a cooperative evangelis
tic program. In 1960, however, several conservative
Baptist groups organized the Baputesuto Kyoryoku-kai
(Baptist Cooperative Society) which held its third
annual session from May 9 to May 11, 1963 where
matters of common interest — such as the exchange of
ministers, theological education, marriage problems,
and the problem of burial plots for Christians were
discussed. Two of the Baptist groups, the Japan
Baptist Convention and the Japan Baptist Union, are
members of the Baptist World Alliance, and dele
gates of these groups attended the B.W.A. meeting
in Rio de Janeiro in 1962, and twenty-seven women
attended the East Asia Women's Conference of the
Baptist World Alliance held in the Philippines in the
Spring of 1963.
According to the statistics of the Kirisutokyo nenkan
(1964), the greatest number of Baptist churches are
affiliated with the Japan Baptist Convention (Baputesuto
Renmei) , with whom missionaries from the Southern
Baptist Convention Foreign Mission Board are cooperat
ing. The next largest body of churches is organized
under the Japan Baptist Union (Baputesuto Domet) ,
and receives cooperating missionaries from both the
American Baptist Foreign Mission Societies and the

the T963 Annual Convention of the Japan Baptist
Convention final approval was given to a «OT»£
tion of the Convention structure to become effective
n January 1964. Several older leaders rotated off the
Executive Board of the Convention and were replaced
by younger, postwar men. The Rev. Yoshikazu Naka-
jima for twelve years pastor of the Osaka Baptist
Church, was elected Executive Secretary and Masao
Kawaguchi, for many years pastor of the ' Fukuoka
Baptist Church and more recently of the Okubo Mis
sion in Shinjuku, was elected Evangelism Secretary.
From these younger leaders the Convention looks
forward to an era of vigorous leadership and progres
sive expansion.
Much of 1964 was occupied with preparation, execu
tion and follow-up of the Baptist New Life Movement,
a large scale evangelistic effort projected in cooperation
with the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention and the Baptist General Conven
tion of Texas. More than six hundred evangelists,
music specialists and laymen assisted in five mass
campaigns, 140 local church centered meetings, and
in personal evangelism over a period of six weeks in
April and May. Some twenty-three thousand decision
cards were signed variously indicating initial commit
ment to Christ as their Saviour, a determination to
seek more positively the truth of the Christian faith,
or in the case of some only a casual interest in Chris'
tianity. By the end of 1963 the Convention churches
and preaching points recorded a total of 1,778 in
baptisms, approximately twice the number recorded
CHURCH IN JAPAN 111
for the previous year. More are expected to follow
through to baptism and responsible church member
ship during 1964. The Convention now has 95
churches and 117 preaching points with a total mem
bership of 16,273.
As a part of the follow-up activities of the New
Life Movement ten selected pastors of the Convention
has been invited to visit the churches in the United
States for three months in the summer of 1964.
These men will go in groups of three or four and
will be expected to observe evangelistic and educati
onal planning and projection in all types of Baptist
churches. Upon their return an effort will be made
to utilize their observations and impressions in the
churches of Japan.
In the fall of 1963 a preparatory conference was
held in Hong Kong with representatives from most
of the countries of the Orient looking toward a Church
School enlargement campaign in 1966 in each of the
countries. The Japan Baptist Convention will partici
pate actively during the next two years in concerted
efforts to conserve the harvest from the New Life
Movement.
In the spring of 1963 women representatives from
the Japan Baptist Convention participated in an Asia
Baptist Women's Conference in Manila. The Con
ference was sponsored by the Women's Division of
the Baptist World Alliance.
The Japan Baptist Convention has issued an invita
tion to the Baptist World Alliance to hold its World
Congress in Tokyo in 1970. This Congress meets
every five years.
The Japan Baptist Union held its sixth annual
convention in 1963, and voted to adopt a plan for a
second " Five- Year Evangelism " thrust. This second
112 TIIH CHURCH
phase of the evangelism program of the Japan Baptist
Union would have a threefold emphasis : study, strength
ening of established churches, and pioneer (Urban)
evangelism. The first five-year plan, which ends with
the convention in the Spring (1964), succeeeded in
organizing eight new recognized preaching places and
the addition of 114 new members. Especially en
couraging has been the rapid growth of new meeting
places throughout the associations — many of them
starting from among the membership of a nearby
Japan Baptist Union Church, some of them directly
related to the Evangelism Department program, and
some of them beginning in the homes of members
who have moved to new locations.. A leader in this
new outreach has been Kanto Gakuin (related institu
tion and seminary). Directly or indirectly related to
this institution there have been formed as many as
five new meeting places in the last year or so. Gener
ally these meetings begin in the home of a faculty
member. Missionaries related to the university have
had opportunity to participate in getting these con
gregations started.
The pattern of growth of congregations in the Japan
Baptist Union was vividly presented to the delegates
of the Baptist Consultation on World Mission at Hong
Kong (December 27, 1963 to January 5, 1964) by
Rev. Hisakichi Saito, pastor of the Shiogama Greater
Chairman of the Executive Committee for
the Japan Baptist Union. As he explained it, his
idea of evangelism is not - point evangelism," where
minister may have a few preaching points where
weekly services, but " line evangelism,"
ch he described as being like the casting of a net
veep everything up in the total mission of the
to the community. The Greater Parish of
CHURCH IN JAPAN 113
this Shiogama Baptist Church now includes A Baptist
Camp Site (at Rifu) , a Rural Center (Farmer's Gospel
School), as well as six preaching places. Further
inroads have been made into the life of the rural
community by providing a temporary nursery school
for children of farmers during the busy season, and
the annual Rural Center Community Fair.
THE CHINESE CHURCHES
Kenneth Wilson
Undoubtedly there were many Chinese in Japan
prior to 1900 but little is known of any ministry to
them. We begin, therefore, with the turn of the
present century when Japan defeated Russia at Port
Arthur and her prestige skyrocketed.
In 1904 Chinese students were arriving at 100 a
month. In 1905 this average had increased to 500.
By 1906 there were 15,000 in Tokyo and Yokohama.
Due to the many pressures, moral and otherwise,
put on them the YMCA turned its attention to these
homeless, and seeming rootless students. With the
interest of the whole far-eastern YMCA organization
aroused by the sudden need of the Chinese students
in Japan, money and personnel came from all quarters
(particularly from Hongkong, China and Korea) and
a YMCA building was erected in Tokyo. It was
dedicated in 1907 and conducted Bible classes, night
school and social activities for these students.
In the meantime the Anglican Mission sent a Chinese
pastor from Hankow and a Chinese school was started
114 THE CHURCH
in a rented building. Soon missionaries came to assist.
By 1910 the mission had 4 centers and had taken
over supervision of the YMCA's work for the Chinese.
During 1961 the Church Mission Society brought its
strength to bear some of the burden. In 1919 the
Chinese YMCA in Tokyo had a total membership
of 1,019. The great earthquake in 1923 destroyed
buildings and disrupted the work. There was some
resurgence and rebuilding and then the Manchurian
Incident brought such tensions between the Chinese
community and the Japanese that little more is heard
of the work in the Kanto area.
In the Kansai area, however, it was during the
[916-30 period that a very strong indigenous work
began under the leadership of a Chinese individual.
After graduating from Palmore Institute this man
started a Chinese school and church. By 1921 the
church had a Christian Endeavor group of over 100.
In 1926 they reported completion of 10 successful
years in the school.
Little was done for the Chinese in either the Kanto
Kansai areas again until after the last war. Within
brief time a ministry began in the Student Center
•chanomizu and Yokohama's China Town At
Umost the same time the need for a Christian ap-
ich to the Chinese was felt in Kobe. Three people
spearheading these three projects : Mr. Donald
unter in Tokyo, Mrs. Bertha Hannestad in Yoko-
ma and Dr. W. C. McLauchlin in Kobe Out of
work there has come two churches in Tokyo,
i Yokohama, three in the triangle cities of Kobe,
and Kyoto-and a mission of the Kobe church
stabhshed in 1961 in Nagoya. Beside these there is
Hock Fellowship and a Taiwan Presbyterian
m Tokyo and a meeting of believers in the
CHURCH IN JAPAN 115
home of Chinese Consul James Lee in Nagasaki. A
group of the Kobe Chinese Presbyterian Church has
kept alive a worshipping fellowship which meets each
Sunday afternoon in Kobe's Sun Yat Sen Memorial
Building. The ministry of these churches is almost
exclusively in Mandarin. In addition to the Taiwan
church of Tokyo, the Kobe Chinese Presbyterian
Church holds morning worship in Mandarin and an
afternoon service in Taiwanese. Several churches offer
bilingual Mandarin to Japanese or Mandarin to
Taiwanese — sometimes English to Mandarin sermons.
There is a need for more preaching in Cantonese in
Yokohama and Kobe.
One of the strongest churches in Tokyo was founded
by members of the Ochanomizu Fellowship. It is
presently known as The Tokyo Overseas Chinese
Christian Church and is located in the Azabu area.
Here, as in the case of most of the churches, there
is an able and dedicated group of lay leaders and
self-support and self-direction is in evidence.
Membership of all the churches is estimated at 350.
Inquirers would increase this number to 650. The
number that worships on an average Sunday would
total nearly 850.
THE KOREAN CHURCH
C. Rodger Talbot
Side by side with ' Japanese ' Churches in Japan
there are a number of Churches among ethnic groups.
The Churches among the Korean residents in Japan
1)(i TUB CHURCH
probably form a lar^e fraction of these ethnic type
Churches. ..
These Churches which usually center their fellow
ship on a language other than Japanese are acutely
congregational in many ways. Their ties with the
Christian community outside their own group are
usually rather tenuous. Quite commonly they have
stronger ties with Christians across the seas than with
Christian groups across the street.
Because these Christians are foreigners in Japan,
their cultural and Church background are quite distinc
tive. Accordingly their Church life and their witness
in Japan are interestingly distinctive from Japanese
Churches. In spite of their atomic nature and wide
national variety all of these Churches have strikingly
common characteristics and similar opportunities.
The Churches and preaching places among the
Koreans in Japan are about 55 in number. Of these
approximately five are independent congregations. The
rest form a united Church called The Korean Christian
Church in Japan. This Church unites Korean Chris
tians from various denominational backgrounds, and
is a member of the Japan N.C.C. The independent
congregations are those who probably have theological
or ecclesiastical questions about affiliating with such
a group as The National Christian Council.
The Korean Christian Church in Japan is an inde
pendent and self-governing Church. It has no formal
relations with the Churches in Korea. The govern
ment is a presbyterian type. There are four districts
Kanto, Chubu, Kansai and Seinan with a General
Assembly which meets annually.
Statistically it is not a large Church. It has a total
membership of about 3,500 members, with 1,480 com
muning members. It has 31 pastors with about 50
CHURCH IN JAPAN 117
churches and preaching points.
The total Korean population in Japan is estimated
at 600,000 persons.
Although a numerically small group the Korean
Church here is conscious of the need to work at making
Christian ties as basic to its life as ethnic ties. Thus
there is promoted a broad ecumenical concern. Be
sides participation in the J.N.C.C., there have been
long and close ties with the Presbyterian Church in
Canada. The E.A.C.C. has encouraged participation
in various conferences and consultations. At the recent
meeting in Bangkok the representatives of The Korean
Church in Japan pressed for a study of the Christian
witness of minority groups in South East Asia.
The Church has benefitted considerably from its
participation in the World Presbyterian Alliance. The
present study theme in preparation for the August quad
rennial assembly, "Come Creator Spirit" has been a
spiritual help to many. Even before being accepted
as an associate member of the World Council of
Churches, many leaders in the Church were grateful
for the leadership given in areas such as the Laity,
Studies in Evangelism and Ethnic Group problems.
THE LUTHERAN CHURCHES
Howard Alsdorf
Sorting out the various Lutheran groups can be a
very confusing task for non-Lutherans. Even some
who call themselves Lutherans may experience some
difficulty, in view of the mergers which have taken
HH THE CHURCH
place in Japan and in the States during the past two
years. . e
Lutheran work in the Japan was started in baga,
in 1893, hy representatives of a group that is now
part of the Lutheran Church in America. The Evan-
Kelical Lutheran Church in Japan (JELC) is the
outgrowth of this seventy-year-old mission endeavor.
The JELC hrought together the congregations and
institutions that had been sponsored by three of the
churches which united to form the Lutheran Church
in America : the United Lutheran Church, Augustana
Lutheran Church, and the Suomi Synod. In addition,
the work of the Lutheran Evangelical Association of
Finland has been associated with the JELC ever since
1940. In post-war years, the JELC has signed work
ing agreements with the Danish Mission Society and
the North German Mission. In May, 1963, this
JELC was merged with the Tokai Evangelical Lutheran
Church, which was the post-war development of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church (now part of the
American Lutheran Church). The new Japanese
church, which retains the name JELC, has been
occupied during the succeding months in making the
many adjustments necessary in policies and practices
to enable the church to reach its goal of organic union.
Thus, the present JELC represents the fruits of the
combined labors of the missionaries of the Lutheran
Church in America, the American Lutheran Church,
the Lutheran Evangelical Association of Finland, the
Danish Mission Society, and the North German Miss
ion, as well as their many Japanese co-workers.
In addition to its seminary in Tokyo, the JELC is
related to two junior-senior high schools in Kumamoto
(Kyushu Gakuin and Kyushu Jogakuin) and the Tokai
Lutheran Bible School in Shizuoka. It operates two
CHURCH IN JAPAN 119
student centers in Tokyo, as well as one in Kyoto.
Also affiliated with the church are a number of social
service institutions in Kumamoto, Arao, Beppu, Osaka,
Chiba, and Tokyo. Five church camps — at Mt. Aso,
Hiroshima, Kansai, Shizuoka, and Hakone — provide
retreat facilities for various church organizations and
student groups.
As a part of the preparations for the consummation
of the organic union of the newly-merged church, a
Japan Evangelism Consultation was convened at Oiso,
in January, 1964, with representatives of the JELC
and all its supporting groups participating in the
discussions. The one tangible result of this meeting
was the proposal to set up the Japan Lutheran Com
mittee for Cooperative Mission, which is to be com
posed of the representatives of the overseas groups
and to meet annually in Japan for the express purpose
of allocating requests for funds and personnel from
overseas. It is hoped that, within a fairly short time,
this committee will become the single channel through
which all subsidies for the church and its institutions
will come from overseas.
The JELC, as well as its related missionary organ
izations, is one of the groups supporting the Lutheran
Literature Society (Seibunsha) . The Society is backed
by all the Lutheran groups currently working in Japan.
Similarly, all Lutheran groups cooperate in the follow-
up on the Lutheran Hour broadcast. Originally, this
broadcast was sponsored wholly by the Lutheran
Laymen's League of the Lutheran Church-Missouri
Synod. While Missouri still produces the program
and pays for a large share of the broadcast time,
many of the other groups pay for the broadcast time
in their respective areas. It is no exaggeration to say
that the Japan Lutheran Hour, as the oldest and most
1:JO THE CHURCH
widely aired (107 stations) Christian program in Japan,
hasbeen of tremendous value to the whole Christian
community during its thirteen years on the air. In
June, 1963, the Lutheran Hour Center received its
one millionth letter from its listeners, and later that
same year graduated the 40,000th student from its
correspondence course on the basic doctrines of Christi
anity The fourteen regional Lutheran Hour centers
attempt to channel listeners into the local congre
gations, whether the latter are Lutheran or not.
3 Regrettably, plans to inagurate a Christian television
program in 1963 had to be postponed. It is still
hoped that a television series can be undertaken,
perhaps by late 1964. In order to reach a wider
radio audience, the Lutheran Hour staff is presently
considering the addition of one or more new programs
directed at audiences which are not attracted to the
dramatic format now being used.
The Japan Lutheran Kyodan, which has been the
motive force behind the Lutheran Hour broadcast,
is the 15-year-old mission of the Lutheran Church-
Missouri Synod. Its evangelistic activities are centered
in four areas : Kanto, Fukushima, Niigata, and Hok
kaido. In addition, an affiliated mission in Okinawa,
inaugurated in 1958 and served by two resident mis
sionaries, has just been strengthened by the addition
of a Japanese pastor in early 1964. The congregations
in Okinawa show the most rapid rate of growth, but
the work there is hampered by the lack of adequate
facilities.
The Lutheran Kyodan conducts two Youth Centers :
one in Tokyo, and one in Sapporo. The Sapporo
program has received considerable impetus from the
arrival of a trained youth specialist — the first step in
a projected exchange program which is also to take
CHURCH IN JAPAN 121
a Japanese youth worker to America. In Tokyo, the
youth center work is co-ordinated with the outreach
of the Tokyo Lutheran Center English School which
regularly enrolls more than 800 paying students.
This church also concerns itself with Christian
education. In addition to kindergartens on the con
gregational level, the mission operates a junior-senior
high school in Hanno, and an elementary-junior high
in Urawa. Although this group has yet to embark
upon a social service program as such, a social wel
fare consultant has already been appointed to guide
the church into the most effective ways for showing
the concern of Christ for all people.
While currently maintaining its own theological
training program, negotiations are underway looking
toward cooperation with the JELC in the establishment
of a new Lutheran seminary in the vicinity of ICU.
In 1961, the Norwegian Missionary Society and the
Lutheran Free Church of Norway cooperated in the
formation of the Kinki Evangelical Lutheran Church,
which is located in Hyogo, Nara, Wakayama, and
Mie prefectures. This church and its two associated
missions assist other Lutheran groups in the Osaka
Lutheran Hour Center, and join with the Norwegian
Lutheran Mission in the support of the Kobe Lutheran
Bible Institute. The Norwegian Missionary Society
was responsible for the launching of the Shinko Maru,
the gospel ship which plies the waters of Osaka Bay,
calling at many of the numerous fishing villages which
are all-but-inaccessible in any other way. 70 persons
can worship in the main hall on the ship, and it once
accommodated as many as 120 children for a single
program, At the end of 1963, the Kinki church
numbered 863 members in 14 churches, served by 9
Japanese pastors, 8 lay evangelists, and 14 mission-

aries The goal of financial self-support is being
strongly emphasized in all Kinki congregations.
A fourth Lutheran body, the Nishi Nikon Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, is at work in Hyogo,
Okayama, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures. Inis
church is the outgrowth of work begun by the Nor
wegian Lutheran Mission. This same mission es
tablished the Kobe Lutheran Bible Institute and the
Kobe Lutheran Seminary. A rural center is now
being set un in Hiruzen, northern Okayama prefecture.
This church has its motto: "Every believer a soul-
winner", and places strong emphasis on the role of
the layman in the life of the church. As of December
31, 1963, the Nishi Nihon Evangelical Lutheran
Church numbered 750 members, in 9 churches and
52 preaching places, served by 3 Japanese pastors, 7
lay evangelists, 8 Bible women, and 16 missionaries.
The Lutheran Brethren mission, at work in Akita
and Yamagata prefectures, has six missionaries on
its roll, and operates the Tohoku Bible School in
Akita City. The Scandinavian Christian Doyukai,
with three missionaries, is establishing a farming
center at Shin Rei San (New Spirit Mountain) near
Shizuoka.
THE PEACE CHURCHES
Ferdinand Ediger
The Church of the Brethren, The Religious Society
of Friends and The Mennonite and Brethren in Christ
Churches are usually referred to as the Historic Peace
Churches.
CHURCH IN JAPAN 123
The Brethren Service Commission, representing the
Church of the Brethren, first came to Japan in 1956
with a program centering on International Peace
Seminars and work camps. Based on the conviction
that the Christian faith calls men to be peacemakers,
the seminars draw students from diverse cultures,
religious traditions, and races to explore together pro
blems of conflict between nations. Through lectures,
discussions, meditation and recreation, the seminar
participants seek to find ways to resolve the tensions
which divide the human community. The summer
program generally involves a short work camp ex
perience as well as a field trip to Hiroshima to meet
with civic leaders, medical doctors and A-bomb sur
vivors to discover the long-range results of a conflict
which was not resolved peacefully.
In addition to the seminar program, the Brethren
Service Commission has supported a Japanese social
worker in Hiroshima and sponsors monthly meetings
for seminar alumni residing in the Tokyo area.
Recently two Japanese young people have gone to the
United States to work as volunteer social workers in
settlement houses located in areas of need.
Based on the concept that all men are brethren in
spirit, the program in the future will continue to be
one designed to increase international understanding
and promote reconciliation between man and man.
The Religious Society of Friends — often called
Quakers — like other Christian fellowships, embraces
a broad range of emphases in the areas of faith and
practice. Friends are marked by their emphasis on
the direct religious experience of the individual.
Authority is not vested in a hierarchy ; major decisions
are made by the local group, called Monthly Meetings.
There are 223 members in the Japan Yearly Meeting
124 THE CHURCH
and their meetings are held in Osaka, Tokyo (Toyama
Heights and Shimoigusa) , Mito City and Shimotsuma
in Ibaraki Prefecture and a small informal group meets
at International Christian University. There are no
pastors but in most cases a clerk presides.
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) ,
founded in 1917 as an outgrowth of the Society of
Friends, is a contemporary expression of Friends'

Christian discipleship, Christian service and peace
making. Geographically, the Mennonite Brethren
group works in the Osaka area, the Brethren in
Christ in Yamaguchi Prefecture along the Sanin Line,
the Hokkaido Fellowship in eastern Hokkaido and
the Kyushu Fellowship in Miyazaki Prefecture. Three
of the groups cooperate in literature production, Peace
emphasis and Tokyo Evangelism. All four of the
groups are committed to evangelism, establishment of
churches and nurture.
The Mennonite Brethren seek to encircle the metro
polis of Osaka with churches on each of the train
lines so that contacts from all areas of the city will
be able to have access to " Bible teaching, believing
ministry". They have nine organized churches and
three "preaching places". Six pastors, who have
graduated from their Osaka Biblical Seminary, and
some of the missionaries serve as leaders in the
churches where the membership is now at 428. In
conjunction with a 10 minute radio program, asa no
hikari, a monthly evangelistic campaign is held in the
Central Municipal Hall in Osaka.
The first missionaries of the Brethren in Christ
group came to Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1953 and
today one can find 83 active members in 8 "cells".
The most distinctive aspect of their work is that of
trying to have self-supported lay leaders for all the
cells and sometimes several for each cell if possible.
As part of that approach they have a weekly formal
training school which leaders and potential leaders
attend and from which they go directly to their places
of work the next morning.

Five pastors, some with formal training and six mis
sionaries provide leadership for 280 members m 8
organized and 14 unorganized fellowships.
The latter three groups cooperating in Tokyo evan
gelism have three fellowship groups with missionary
and lay leadership. One missionary, with a peace
assignment mandate, promotes seminars, lecture tours,
international exchange within the framework of the
churches and holds interdenominational peace seminars
for pastors in various areas of Japan. The Japan
Mennonite Literature Association has published books
regarding Anabaptist history and the biblical peace
witness.
THE PENTECOSTAL GROUPS
John- Willy Rudolph
In Acts 2 : 4 the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit
is recorded. "They were all filled with the Holy
Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance." Down through church
CHURCH IN JAPAN 127
history there have been such manifestations of the
Holy Spirit. At the beginning of this century the
Holy Spirit fell on small groups of praying Christians
in various countries — in America, the Scandinavian
countries, Central Europe, India, and China. The
common experience in each place was the infilling of
the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues and other
manifestations of the Holy Spirit. This revival spread
to all parts of the world, and became known as the
Pentecostal Movement, which now embraces more
than ten million Christians. Pentecost is not a de
nomination but an experience with the Holy Spirit
for all Christians. Today we are witnessing this truth
as believers in many denominations throughout the
world are receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
It is believed that Mr. & Mrs. C. P. Juergensen
who arrived in Tokyo in August 1913 were the first
Pentecostal missionaries in Japan. Their daughter,
Miss Marie Juergensen, is still serving here. The
Juergensens opened their work in Tokyo. Occasional
outpourings of the Holy Spirit have been witnessed
since the start of Pentecostal work fifty years ago. In
1918 and 1923 in Yokohama; in 1930 in Tokyo; a-
gain at Yokohama in tent meetings in 1937 ; also at
Yokohama and Osaka in 1937 when more than one
hundred persons were filled with the Spirit ; in post
war Japan in early 1948; and since in newly estab
lished missions and churches the Holy Spirit has
fallen "as in the beginning" (Acts 11:15) on many
new converts. Among the leaders in Pentecostal
churches today are Japanese brethren who were con
verted and filled with the Holy Spirit during the early
days of Pentecostal missionary work. The emphasis
on the Holy Spirit has been accompanied with a
vigorous evangelism ministry to bring the Gospel to
128 THE CHURCH
the people of Japan.
From the humble beginnings in 1913, the work has
grown. Recent statistics show that there are now
more than two hundred Pentecostal missionaries from
eleven countries serving together with over four hun
dred national pastors and workers. Churches and
outposts number more than 350 with over 5,500
members. More than 10,000 children are attending
Sunday Schools and children's meetings. Other
children are served in nursery schools, kindergartens,
and orphanages.
Aggressive evangelism emphasis has characterized
the Pentecostal work in Japan. Evangelistic meetings
in tents and public halls, street meetings, jail and
hospital services, radio programs, a boat ministry in
the Inland Sea, English classes, churches for the deaf,
and four book stores are vital parts of Pentecostal
outreach. One hundred students are taught in eight
Bible Schools in preparation for Christian service.
A conference of Pentecostal missionaries is held for
fellowship and prayer annually in the month of March.
Other meetings are held locally throughout the year.
the earnest prayer of Pentecostal missionaries that

nation the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I'RKSBYTERIAN-REFORMED CHURCHES
Masao Hirata
The Refonied Church in Japan (Nippon Kirisuto
^atkakuha Kyokai] was formed by a few former
members of the Church of Christ in Japan, who
CHURCH IN JAPAN 129
held to a Reformation-Reformed faith systematized
by John Calvin. Because of the pressure of the times
this group was a part of the United Church of Christ
in Japan, but at the end of the World War II when
freedom of faith was declared it became an indepen
dent church. On April 28, 1964, nine ministers and
three elders became the charter members of this new
church. It was established in order to build a sound
Protestant church in Japan where people can hold
the Confessions of the Reformed faith and realize it's
Church life and government.
The church holds to the Westminster Confessions
of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism and the
Westminster Shorter Catechism as the rule of faith
and life.
This church cooperates with the Presbyterian Church
U.S., the Christian Reformed Church in the U.S.A.
and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.
She is a member of the Reformed Ecumenical Synod.
When it met in Grand Rapids Michigan U.S.A. in
1963, this church sent a delegate to the meeting.
Many scholars of this church are now collaborating
on a translation of the Bible into Japanese which
will be called "The New Japanese Bible".
A committee has been formed to investigate Shin-
toism and make a protest against the jeopardizing of
the freedom of faith. It is feared that Shinto is
again moving toward establishing itself as a state
religion.
The Japan Christian Presbyterian Church (Nippon
Kirisuto Choro Kyokai) was organized on December
9, 1956 with three congregations. At the present
time there are eight congregations, with eight ordained
ministers and one worker.
The Church holds to the Westminster Confession
130 THE CHURCH
of Faith and the Westminster Larger and Shorter
Catechism. It takes the presbyterian form of govern
ment and holds to the principle of self support.
It's theological position is represented by orthodox
theology.
The Presbyterian and Reformed Church in Japan
(Nippon Kirisuto Kyokai} has had a long and color
ful history. Among the first missionaries to come to
Japan were the following famous men who were the
forerunners of this church : James Hepburn, Samuel
Brown, D.B. Simmons, Guido Verbeck, James Ballagh
and David Thompson.
Under the leadership and influence of Hepburn
and Ballagh newly converted Japanese established in
Yokohama the first Protestant Church in Japan in
1872. It is known today as the Nippon Kirisuto
Yokohama Kaigan Kyokai. This was the first church
in Japan to hold the presbyterian order.
This church made rapid progress in its early life.
At the synod meeting in 1890 it enacted its own
Confession of Faith. It contains a statement of
traditional reformed doctrines with the addition of the
Apostles Creed.
During World War II under the pressure of the
totalitarian military government all of the protestant
denominations were united. At the end of the war
the totalitarian religious regulations were abolished
and religious freedom was declared. In 1951 thirty-
nine congregations withdrew from the United Church
and established the new Nippon Kirisuto Kyokai.
At present there are 108 congregations and 115
ministers. In 1953 a new Confession of Faith was
adopted with some enlargement and modification of
the previous Confession.
In 1955 it was decided to unite two seminaries
CHURCH IN JAPAN 131
into one. At present the Seminary is located in
Tokyo. It offers a six-year course for high-school
graduates or a four-year course for college graduates.
The Church was affiliated in 1959 with the World
Presbyterian Alliance. A delegate was sent to the
General Council held in Sao Saulo, Brazil in that
year. Several delegates will be sent to the next
General Council to be held in Frankfurt, Germany
in 1964.
A new Evangelism Bureau has been established
within the church in order to develop a stronger
evangelistic program. Four new preaching stations
have been begun.
A National Laymen's Meeting was held in Osaka
in April of 1964. The theme of the meeting was
"The Nippon Kirisuto Kyokai Marches Onward ",
with the sub-theme of "Pray, Dedicate, Serve".
Over 1,000 persons who attended this meeting were
filled with the Holy Spirit, and dedicated themselves
for the cause of the Lord.
Since World War II, the church has been busy laying
its foundation. It has been occupied with its Confession
of Faith, with the building of a Theological Seminary,
with the forming of two catechisms. Now that the
foundation is laid the time has come to turn the
strength of the church toward aggressive evangelism.
THE SALVATION ARMY
Theodore Morris
The Salvation Army was established in Japan in
1895 by an energetic group of pioneer Officers from
132 THE CHURCH
England. Great difficulties were encountered but
despite these a vigorous and growing Army was soon
established. Several Japanese of outstanding capa
bilities were attracted to the Army, among which was
Commissioner Gunpei Yamamuro, a brilliant author
and evangelist. His book, " The Common People's
Gospel ' has sold over half a million copies and is
still in circulation. Immediately after the Second
World War, Commissioner Charles Davidson, who
previously had served some years in Japan, was sent
back to reestablish the Salvation Army and he has
remained the National leader up to the present time.
The Salvation Army in Japan has work in all the
slands of Japan, maintaining 63 Corps (Churches)
ith 53 outposts (preaching stations) . There are 253
)fficers (ordained Ministers) carrying on this pro
gram with many more lay leaders and volunteer
Also as part of the overall operation of the
rmy, nineteen social institutions are constantly in
operation providing sustaining assistance in various

iildren's Homes, (4) (approximately 175 child-
trom age three to sixteen) ; Day Nurseries, (5) ;
.for workingmen (2) ; and ladies, (2) ; Rescue
Mnes for young ladies in difficulty, (3) ; and a Student

been enlarged and is providing a Christian

dmg an opportunity for fun and relaxation in the
great out-of-doors.
The Salvation Army has been able to add two m
dings to our existing facilities. An imposing si
new
six-
CHURCH IN JAPAN 133
story ferro-concrete building has been erected in the
Ichigaya area which is being used as an Evangeline
Residence, providing housing for about 80 working
young ladies. This building also includes a modern
auditorium seating approximately four hundred people
and has been filled on various occasions when the
Tokyo Corps have met for united gatherings. Also
recently erected is a four-story structure which in
corporates all the necessary facilities for the Training
of future Salvation Army Officers for the Japan
Territory. The Salvation Army trains all its own
Officers in a two year intensive course of instruction
including academic and practical courses of study.
This building contains classrooms, a Lecture Hall
(Chapel) , and office space for staff members together
with dining room and sleeping accommodations for
the "Cadets" in Training. There are at present
twenty Cadets in the two year Training Sessions,
including a young Medical Doctor and his wife.
Special Campaigns have been conducted in the
Kyushu and Kansai areas as well as various short
campaigns in all parts of Japan. The Cadets from
the Training School usually assist in these endeavors
with Commissioner Davidson, The Training Principal,
or Colonel Hasegawa, the Chief Secretary for Japan
doing the speaking. The Salvation Army is still very
active in the Open Air Meeting (a meeting on the
street corner) with many outsiders attracted to the
Inside Services. The use of brass instruments together
with the tambourine and vocal music are of great
attraction to the meetings where the gospel is presented.
Many are found confessing their sin at the conclusion
of such meetings.
The Salvation Army is always ready to assist in
time of disaster, either personal or natural. Daily
134 THE CHURCH
emergency relief is administered from Headquarters
and through the various Corps centers as necessary.
In times of natural disaster such as the train accident
at Tsurumi or the mine disasters in Kyushu, the Army
organizes its personnel and makes every effort to be
of both material and spiritual assistance to the victims
of such disaster. During the winter months, especially,
many people are fed on the streets of the larger cities
of Japan, this work made possible by contributions
in the familiar Salvation Army Social Kettles placed
in various spots in all the major cities. In Tokyo
)saka temporary structures are used to house and
eed men coming to the city in search of work.
Special religious services are conducted nightly in these
shelters and some definite decisions have been made
through this contact. During Christmas and
r Year celebrations, special parties are held for the
children, and the lonely, with special food

THE HOLINESS CHURCHES
Aishin Kida
The holiness groups in this country present a wide
•f individual characteristics in regard to church
type of activities engaged in and even major
\ of doctrinal emphasis. In the midst of this
diversity, the one linking tie has been a common
CHURCH IN JAPAN 135
belief in the Scriptural doctrine of holiness with a
predominantly Wesleyan connotation. The author will
attempt to suggest some of the work which is being
done by holiness groups.
The leading ministers of The Christian Brotherhood
Church, (Kirisuto Kyodaidan) were formerly affiliated
with Bishop Juji Nakada in the former Kiyome Kyokai
made up of the group which adhered to the Bishop
when the pre-war Japan Holiness Church was divided
into two main bodies, the Nippon Sei Kyokai and
the Kiyome Kyokai. The so-called Four-Fold Gospel
advocated by Bishop Nakada continues to be em
phasized. The four main points are regeneration,
sanctification, divine healing and the second coming.
Another prominent feature is intercessory prayer for
the hastening of the Lord's return, for a widespread
revival in Japan in order that the nation might be
come an instrument to carry out God's divine purposes,
especially for the accomplishment of the third subject
of intercessory prayer, that is the restoration of God's
Chosen People Israel.
The Holy Christian Unity Church, (Kirisuto Sei-
kyodan) came into being on June 1958, when twenty-
eight churches formally decided to withdraw from
the Christian Brotherhood Church. Up to that time
the two groups had a common history, and still con
tinue to share practically the same doctrinal position.
The present leader of the denomination is the Rev.
Hiromi Yanaka. Their headquarters office is located
in Chiba City.
The Immanuel General Mission, (Immanueru Sogo
Dendodan) was first organized in October, 1945, under
the leadership of the Rev. Tsugio Tsutada, formerly
a minister in the Nippon Sei Kyokai. Since that time
he has held the office of Bishop in the denomination
136 THE CHURCH
and is also concurrently head of their seminary. From
the outset, establishment of a self -sustaining, indi
genous church has been uppermost together with a
major emphasis on foreign missions. Another item
of interest is that since 1952 the denomination has
had a fraternal relationship with the American
Wesleyan Mission in Japan, and since 1954 with the
World Gospel Mission. Together they form the Im-
manuel Wesleyan Federation.
The Japan Church of Jesus Christ, (Nippon lesu
Kirisuto Kyodan) has fallen heir to work which dates
back to 1903 when the Rev. B. F. Buxton together
with others organized the Japan Evangelistic Band.
In 1935 the resultant churches were consolidated into
an organization called the Nippon lesu Kirisuto Kyokai
which later formed a component part of the United
Church of Christ in Japan. In 1951 the denomina
tion was reorganized forming the present Nippon lesu
Kirisuto Kyodan. The denomination continues to
maintain close fraternal relationship with the Japan
Evangelistic Band which also carries on pioneer evan
gelistic activities on its own. The spiritual legacy of
the Rev. Barclay Buxton is still prominent in both
groups.
Missionary work of The Japan Church of the
Nazarene, (Nippon Nazaren Kyodan) dates back
more than half a century, since it was in 1908
that work was actually started by two missionaries
from the Un,ted States. Following the war, a fresh
start was made in 1946 when the work was reorganized
under the leadership of Dr. W.A. Eckel. Since his
retirement from the Superintendence in 1961, the
office has been occupied by the Rev. Aishin Kida. Doc-
trinally, the denomination is committed to the Bible
teaching on entire sanctification.
CHURCH IN JAPAN 137
The Japan Free Methodist Church, (Nippon Jiyu
Mesojisuto Kyodan) has a history dating back to 1895
when it was founded by Teikichi Kawabe. At the
present time most of its work is in the Kansai area.
It has only one church in Tokyo. The past year a
new preaching place was opened in Amagasaki in the
Kansai area. The present Superintendent is Takesaburo
Uzaki.
The work of The Japan Holiness Church, (Nippon
Horinesu Kyodan) is affiliated with the Oriental Mis
sionary Society. Its churches extend from Hokkaido
to Okinawa, however Okinawa is looked upon as over
seas work. This past year has seen a move of this
group's headquarters and seminary buildings into much
larger quarters, The new school dormitory will hold
up to one hundred students, however the present
enrollment stands at forty-seven. Dr. Paul T. Petticord,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Oriental
Missionary Society was present for the dedication of
the new quarters.
Other churches doing work in Japan are The Japan
Gospel Church, (Nippon Fukuin Kyodan), and the
Oriental Missionary Society Holiness Church (Toyo
Senkyokai Horinesu Kyodan).
THE CHURCH
THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST IN JAPAN
(NIHON KIRISUTO KYODAN)
Ryozo Hara
The Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan* is a united church.
It came into being not for the sake of any unique
doctrines or because of any outstanding leader but
for the sake of Christian unity. In order to arrive
at a common understanding of the way this unity
was achieved, and of the reasons for unification, the
the present writer would like to begin with the follow
ing brief statement on -The Development of the
United Church of Christ in Japan."** This statement
i a whole may be taken as one source for an under
standing of the Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan.
Protestant Christianity in our country originated
mission of foreign missionaries who came to
m the sixth year of the Ansei era (1859). In
Mi year of the Meiji era (1872), on the second
day the second month (old calendar), the first
stant church, the Nihon Kirisuto Kokai, was

CHURCH IN JAPAN 139
were transplanted to Japan, and as their mission work
expanded, the number of denominations in Japan
likewise suddenly increased. From a different angle
at about the same time, proposals for union arose
frequently among the several denominations, partly
stimulated from abroad by the ecumenical movement.
Finally the opportunity arose, externally occasioned
by the promulgation of the Religious Organization
Law, for all the Protestant churches of the country
to unite, and in the fifteenth year of the Showa era
(1940), on October 17, at a mass meeting of Christian
laymen from all Japan, a declaration of church unity
was made. Acting on the basis of this declaration,
the churches of more than thirty Protestant denomi
nations achieved unity the following year, in accordance
with the following summary of the statement that
came out of the Founding Assembly at which the
Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan came into existence, held at
Fujimi-cho Church on June 24-25, 1941 :
The triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
revealed in Jesus Christ and attested in the Holy
Scriptures, because of the sins of the world and
for its salvation, was pleased to become a human
being, to die, and to rise again, and to grant
forgiveness of sins, justification, sanctification, and
eternal life to all who believe in atonement through
the Son.
The Church, as the body of Christ, is the place
where those who have been called by God's grace
hold services of worship, proclaim the Gospel,
observe the Sacraments, and expectantly await
the return of the Lord.
.Later, in conjunction with the annullment of the
HO THF. CHURCH
Religious Organizations Law, the proposal was made
that the United Church's organization be revised.
In the twenty-first year of the Showa era, on October
16 (1946), the Constitution of the Nihon Kirisuto
Kyodan was enacted, making it evident that this body,
of its own volition, was indeed a united church.
Moreover, at the time the Constitution was revised
on October 28, 1948, it was decided that the United
Church would confess its faith in the words of the
Apostles' Creed. Finally, on October 26, 1954, there
was enacted 'the United Church's own Confession of
Thus, through a unity given in the Holy
Spirit under the wondrous providence of God, the
Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan, which long labored for the
formation of a stable church, here firmly established
its unification as a united church.
This is the heart of the matter as to how the
United Church was born.
Like other churches of the world, the Nihon
Kirisuto Kyodan, as a member of the Body of Christ,
believes in the unity of the Church and, shouldering
.ch burdens as need to be taken up to realize this
, is continuing its labors on behalf of Christian
In this endeavor there is, however, one thing
that distinguishes the Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan from
That is the radicalness of the path
hosen. Instead of inviting cooperation in bits
)f denominations that retain their traditional
intact, its members have first cast them-
* denominations, into one body and there—
rontations and sometimes in collisions with the
and practices of other traditions-are seeking
toward unity. Accordingly, the Nihon
yodan, like Abraham who set forth not
"here he was to go, is an adventurous body,
CHURCH IN JAPAN 141
for without clearly perceiving what path toward unity
it should tread, it has simply set out believing in
Christian unity. Exposed to the danger of fragmen
tation, and having bade farewell with a sorrowful heart
to those who chose to depart, it continues to walk in
this faith even to the present day. For that very reason
the problem of Christian unity is, for the Nihon
Kirisuto Kyodan, a most serious and realistic problem
indeed.
At the 1954 United Church General Assembly,
this church adopted, as was mentioned above, its own
Confession of Faith. At that time some people raised
objection, charging that the Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan
was changing into a "creedal church." Only on the
understanding that this confession was not a binding
one, could it be passed. Neither organizationally nor
substantially was the faith of the local church to be
decided upon from without. This principle holds
true not only for the Confession of Faith but for
church administration as well. It has become evident
that when churches of varying traditions gather into
a single body, what results, as a matter of historical
necessity, is not a pure and pristine union but the
strengthening of the autonomy of the local church.
To such a degree has this strengthening of the
authority of the local church taken place that now
the problem of "inefficiency" has arisen. At the
present time this matter of solving the problem of
inefficiency is one of the most seriously discussed
problems in the United Church. Like a refrain one
hears that the United Church must become "a church
with life-blood coursing through her veins" (chi no
kayou kyodan}. The United Church stands today at
a crossroads, seeking to determine which path it should
take. The fact remains, however, that the "in-
142 THE CHURCH
efficiency" at issue here by no means implies a con
tradiction between the work of the local church and
the work of the United Church as a whole. It stands,
rather, as an expression of the pain of this transition
period through which the United Church is passing
for the sake of attaining organic unification.
More than twenty years have passed since the
founding of the United Church. The period of birth
and infancy is over. We can now see the signs
which indicate that the United Church has entered
the second stage of her pilgrimage toward unity, for
now such a feeling of mutual trust and reliance has
grown up between those members of differing tradi
tions who have come together in this church that they
can even consider revising their conception of the
United Church itself.
Behind the attitude of inclining one's ear, of open
ing one's heart to another, lies a spirit of vigilance
that will not permit indiscriminate compromise. This
simply a matter of being honest with the Bible.
Without this, there can be no dialogue that will lead
toward genuine unity, no opening of the way toward
the new creation. The fact that this attitude of
vigilance for the truth and this attitude of openness
toward others have grown up, as a necessary result,
from the formation of one body by churches of many
traditions holds great promise for the United Church
as it moves out into the future.
The Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan is presently in process
formation. Before it lies the task of developing,
through the encounter of many traditions, a new
This new church will not be the least com-
n denominator among all these traditions, nor will
represent an intensive cultivation of what may be
deemed the strong points of each denomination. It
CHURCH IN JAPAN 143
will, rather, emerge in consequence of a search, by
those many traditions that have joined together in
the United Church, for solutions to the many re
alistic problems that have arisen. The denominational
traditions do indeed serve as a background to the
discussions that are being carried on, but they alone
do not suffice to point the new road ahead. It is
this new road for which the Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan
is searching. This road will doubtless be steep and
rough, but it is our hope that following it will make
it possible to discover the unity of the church. As
yet, however, we know not what response will be
granted to our hope. We are awaiting the travail of
the new creation. Ridding ourselves of exclusive,
self-complacent, short-tempered attitudes and without
being shackled by the great heritages of the past, we
wish, with a pioneer spirit, to carry on an unremit
ting search for new fields and to see for ourselves
the result of our labors. Though we of the Nihon
Kirisuto Kyodan have only a short and simple history
to our name, before us lies the vision of grappling
with these developments that are leading us, filled
with that perseverance and catholicity that are assured
to us by the Spirit, to the formation of a new United
Church.
Out of such a vision came the United Church's
" Fundamental Policy on the Mission of the Church,"
developed in the light of an analysis of the church
as it presently exists, and issued in October 1961
(Showa 36) . This statement, though leaving unsolved
a number of problems as to its content, is highly
significant in that it points a direction for the United
Church to follow, at this new stage, as it seeks re
formation. This statement points up a way for the
solution of the problem of " inefficiency," and it has
144 THE CHURCH
stimulated an earnest debate, which continues to the
present as to what it means for the Nihon Kinsuto
Kyodan, as a church, to seek structural renewal.
Moreover, it specifies the following problem areas,
each of which has been entrusted to a committee and
is currently eliciting vigorous and searching discussion :
(1) The self-renewal of the church (the church's
awareness of being in the world)
(2) A re-examination of the organization for evan
gelism (a second look at evangelistic policy)
(3) The one billion yen fund (reorganization of
the United Church's financial structure)
(4) Inquiry into the matter of ecumenical coopera
tion (cooperation with the churches of the
world)
(5) Research into the structure of the United
Church (in connection with the problem of
inefficiency, a re-examination of the committee
structure and administration)
THE ADVENTIST CHURCHES
W.T. Clark
Unlike some other denominations, there are relative
ly few Adventist bodies. Aside from the Seventh-day
Adventist church, the largest is the Advent Christian
Church. Since no information on their work outside
of North America is at hand, space here will be devoted
entirely to the largest of the Adventist bodies, the Se
venth-day Adventist church. At the end of 1962 world
membership (baptized members) stood at 1,362,775
with 74% outside of North America. Although the
first S.D.A. missionary came to Japan in 1896, the
growth of the church in this country has been slow.
CHURCH IN JAPAN 145
By 1941 membership reached 1,000, a figure almost
halved by the end of the war. In the past 18 years,
however, the pace has quickened and membership at
the end of 1963 was 4,849.
The S.D.A. church believes in evangelism, with
every department and segment organized to this end.
To further this program, in addition to the public
evangelistic program of each local church, certain
other specialized lines of endeavor have been develop
ed. These include educational work, with schools
from kindergarten through college developing and
training Christian youth. From these schools came
more than 15% of the 430 people baptized in 1963.
The medical and health educational program, built
around Tokyo-Sanitarium Hospital and Harajuku Clinic
in Tokyo, and the Adventist Medical Center in Oki
nawa, endeavors to demonstrate the power of Christian
love, and illustrate the value of healthful Christian
living.
The distribution of Christian literature in 1963 reach
ed a new level with total sales of over ¥70,000,000,
excluding free literature given away. This program
has proved extremely helpful in circulating Christian
literature widely, and has resulted in many contacts
leading to conversions. It is also a useful corollary
to the radio programs of the Voice of Prophecy, now
broadcast over 20 stations and sub-stations, and reach
ing a potential audience of over 31,000,000 people
throughout Japan.
The organization and operation of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church in Japan differs from other denomi
nations in certain respects. Representative in form of
government, the church is directly connected to the
world body, and receives considerable financial support
from the world body. Overall direction and respon-
146 THE CHURCH
sibility for the church program is in the hands of an
executive committee of 23 members, over half of
them national workers of experience. However, con
siderable autonomy remains in the local conference
or mission area (Japan is now divided into three
such areas for administrative purposes) and is in turn
directed by a local executive committee composed
almost exclusively of national leadership. There is
close harmony and cooperation between these local
committees and the parent committee with head
quarters in Tokyo.
In order to strengthen the church in Japan, greater
stress is being laid upon the training and development
of a consecrated and active laity, directed by dedicated
and wide-awake national leadership. History has
emphasized that strength of the church resides in
fully converted men and women, rather than structures
of wood and stone.
While the church continues to feel an integral part
of the world church, it is also developing into a strong
self-supporting body less dependent upon overseas
financial aid. In 1963 the church received from abroad
for operating purposes over 30,000,000 yen, plus ad
ditional funds for capital expenditures. At the same
time over 50,000,000. yen was contributed by the
membership in Japan in tithes and offerings for the
support of the indigenous work, while more than
¥15,000,000 was sent to the world body as Japan's
contribution toward support of the world church.
THE UNION CHURCHES
Howard Haines
For over a century — ever since Townsend Harris
CHURCH IN JAPAN 147
Conducted Protestant services in the 1850s — Christians
from overseas have played an important role as part
of the Christian community in Japan.
The English-language Union Churches of Tokyo
and Kobe were the very first Christian churches of
any kind in their respective communities. Both erected
church buildings in 1872, and their present buildings
in 1928-30. Both of these buildings were substantially
destroyed in 1945, and rebuilt in the 1950s. Both
began with congregations composed largely of mis
sionaries and for that reason centered their Sunday
worship in the afternoons ; more recently, with the
expansion of the foreign population, they have rapidly
developed morning services as well. Both churches
are completely self-governing and self-supporting,
maintaining property, program, and pastor by contri
butions of their members ; and both now contribute
substantially to Christian service and outreach in Japan,
as well as stirring the faith and Christian practice of
their members.
German-speaking congregations developed in close
fellowship with these English. speaking churches. In
Kobe, the two congregations still use the same build
ing and have a combined Board of Trustees. During
the war the German pastor conducted services in both
languages and served both Kobe congregations. In
Tokyo, a German congregation met in the building
of the English-language church as early as 1885.
They subsequently lost one church building in the
1923 earthquake and another by bombing in 1945.
The present Tokyo " Kreuzkirche " (Cross Church)
near Gotanda was erected in 1959, drawing imagi
natively upon Japanese architecture. A pipe organ
was installed in 1961.
Dr. Charles Iglehart tells us that at one time there

were as many as thirty Union Churches in Japan.
Some of these have disappeared, like the Yokohama
Union Church which has not functioned since the
war, primarily because the Yokohama Chapel Center

the religious needs of the English-speaking Protestants
of that area.
Additional Union Churches have come into being
in Japan, as well as a number of denominational
foreign-language churches. The Nagoya Union Church,
for instance, was founded in 1952, and now holds
services regularly every Sunday at 4 p. m. in the
centrally located Nagoya Chuo Kyokai.
y the beginning of 1964, the membership of Tokyo
Union Church had grown to 458, even though about
one-third of the congregation leaves Tokyo each year
and must be replaced. The burgeoning number of

In mid-1964 the Rev. Howard B. Haines returned
to the States after a seven year pastorate in Tokyo,
and was succeeded by Dr. John C. Gingerich, formerly
of the North Broadway Methodist Church of Columbus,
Ohio. Mr. Michael DeVore continues his two-year
term as the church's third full-time Assistant Pastor.
At the Kobe Union Church, membership stood in
1964 at about 200, with Sunday attendance frequently
exceeding that figure. Missionaries from a wide range
of denominations still form the majority of the mem
bership, but the number of business people has been
steadily increasing. The church carries on a well-
rounded program for men, women, and children, as
well as a ministry to sailors and servicemen and to
Japanese students and young people, and a wide
benevolence program.
In 1964 the Rev. Vernon A. Crawford completed
his term as pastor. A call was issued to the Rev.
Maurice Holt (former American chaplain) who is
expected to undertake his duties as pastor of the Kobe
church in early spring, 1965.
Leadership in the German-language churches has
for the past ten years been given by Pastor Harald
Oehler, who conducts services in the Tokyo Kreuz-
kirche, and also monthly at Yokohama (in Christ
Church) and at Kobe (at the Kobe Union Church).
Sunday Schools as well as a number of study and
service activities are conducted. The Tokyo- Yokohama
membership is about 350 persons, including children ;
the Kobe-Osaka congregation is of about half this
size.
All of the Union Churches lay stress on both their
interdenominational and their international character.
The congregation of the German church in Tokyo

tants of many denominations, and the members of
the English-language churches come from as many as
twenty countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and
Africa. All these congregations also include Japanese
me m hers.
Since most of those worshiping at these churches are
daily envolved in significant relationships with Japan-
ese as businessmen, missionaries, educators, and in a
dozen embassies— it is hard to exaggerate the impor
tance of their maintaining solidly Christian faith, life,
and attitudes. It is to the development of this vital
Christian witness, as well as ministry to their personal
and family needs, that the Union Churches are dedi
cated .
THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH
Proclus Ushimaru
The Eastern Orthodox Church in Japan was founded
by E. R. Nicholas Kasatkin, a missionary from the
Russian Orthodox Church who was later made Arch
bishop Nicholas of Japan.
This Church began its work in Japan in a small
chapel in the Hakodate Russian Consulate in 1861.
In 1870, a church office was established in Tokyo.
It has served as the church administrative headquarters
since that time. In this same location there are many
other church buildings, among them The Resurrection
Cathedral, known as NICHOLAI-DO by the Japanese
public. The Cathedral is still standing and is an
important national cultural property.
Its construction was begun in 1884 and it was
CHURCH IN JAPAN 151
completed in 1891. The grounds of NICHOLAI-DO
were purchased by The Church in early 1963. Pay
ment for this purchase of Government Property will
be made over several years time. For the Eastern
Orthodox Church this is the greatest obstacle to
missionary aid from The Russian Orthodox Greek
Catholic Church of America, an " auto-cephalious "
church known as " Metropolia " in the U.S.A.
There is an administrative difference in the degree
of independence of The Eastern Orthodox Church.
The "auto-cephalious" church is entirely independent
and self-governing. It appoints its own chief bishop
and conducts its relations with other churches directly.
On the other hand, "autonomous" churches are also
self governing and manage their own internal affairs,
but the appointment of their chief bishops requires
the sanction of the Mother Church. It is through the
Mother Church that their relations with other churches
are carried on. The Japanese Church belongs to the
latter. When the above-mentioned economic condition
has improved, there will be a possibility for the
Japanese Church to be become an ** auto-cephalious "
church.
There is new activity calling for better management
of the Theological Seminary and of Sunday Schools.
The former which has been closed since the Russian
Revolution is the most important institution for mis
sionary work in The Japanese Church. It was opened
in 1957 and is progressing along favorable lines. A
small religious tract is being published by the Ortho
dox Youth Association in Tokyo twice a year and is
called "A Series of Orthodox Church Teachings" writ
ten and edited by the author. The head of the Church,
Bishop Vladimir, has been traveling to all of the
parishes in Japan in order to speak to them. In the
152 THE CHURCH
interests of the Ecumenical movement some priests of
the Japan Orthodox Church have been attending
Ecumenical Study Groups throughout Japan.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
A.W. Bryson
This decade of the nineteen sixties is a historic
one in terms of the Catholic Church's restoration in
Japan after centuries of persecution.
1962 marked two centenaries — that of the construc
tion of the first post -restoration Catholic Church on
the Bluff in Yokohama, the present St. Francis Xavier
Church ;^ and the centenary of the canonization of
the 26 Christian martyrs of Nagasaki.
Next year, 1965, will mark the centenary of the
finding at Nagasaki of the descendants of the persecut
ed Christians of the 17th century.
Any survey of the contemporary Catholic Church
in Japan would thereby be incomplete without a brief
look at its historical background in this country
The history of the Catholic Church in Japan falls
illy into three distinctive periods: (1) The
Christianity with the coming of St. Francis
Xavier in 1549, culminating in the great persecution
half of the 17th century. (2) The pe-
l from the return of Catholic missionaries to Japan
/T n ulf °f the 19th Century tiU the end of
Ihe postwar period from 1945 till the
sent day. (1) The first period was one of rapid
'th and expansion. Hundreds of thousands, rang-
g from peasant to daimyo, embraced the Catholic
1 hen came the great persecution, when many
CHURCH IN JAPAN 153
thousands were martyred and wrote with their blood
one of the most inspiring pages of Christian history.
For more than two centuries thereafter Japan was
closed to the West and Christian influence.
(2) After the coming of Commodore Perry in the
middle of the 19th ceutury, Japan opened its door
once more to the West. The first Catholic mission
aries, who came soon after, were amazed to find that
a few thousand Christians had persevered in the
Faith, despite recurring persecution, in Urakami, Na
gasaki, and on the outlying Goto islands. But even
with this nucleus to build on, the growth of the
Church was a relatively slow one up till the end of
the last world war. In the beginning, an inherited
distrust of Christianity (aftermath of the great persecu
tion) was largely the cause. Understandably, too, a
people with their own proud traditions of race, civi
lization, culture and religion, shut off for two centuries
from any contact with Western civilization, found
Christianity not easy of acceptance.
National factors of a social, cultural and religious
nature, therefore, militated against the conversion to
Christianity of other than a small minority. The
Catholic Church during all this period was work
ing zealously in the religious, educational and social
welfare fields, and had achieved its own Japanese-
born Hierarchy between 1927 and 1940.
(3) The brief period since 1945, characterized by
improved relations and increasing understanding be
tween Japan and the Christian countries, has been one
of great growth for Christianity in general and the
Catholic Church in particular.
The Constitution guarantees equality and freedom
to all established religions and creeds. Enlightened
legislation, notably " The Religious Juridical Persons'
154 THE CHURCH
Act", ''The School Corporations' Act" and " The
Social' Welfare Corporations' Act", have created con
ditions favorable to the establishment, development
and operation of religious, educational and charitable
institutions.
It is a tribute to the understanding and tolerance
of the Japanese Government and people, and has re
sulted in a greatly expanded program of educational
and social welfare works, which are the traditional
fruits of Christianity.
In response to this generous attitude, the Catholic
Church has drawn heavily on its spiritual and material
resources, in its ardent desire to work with and for
the people of Japan, and their spiritual and social
welfare.
As a result, in the past nineteen years the Catholic
Church in Japan has trebled its membership ; quadru
pled its religious, educational, and social welfare works
and organizations ; and increased its prestige and
Christian influence out of all proportion to both. For
in this latter regard, it must be remembered that,
spiritually this has not been an immediate reward,
but rather a matter of the slow growth of the Mustard
Seed, which, watered by the blood of martyrs, is,
after lying dormant in the soil of centuries, being
blessed by God with fruit, in response to the long
patient tilling of His husbandmen. Only thus are the
following statistics explainable.
These statistics fall naturally into four categories :
(A) Religious; (B) Educational; (C) Social Welfare ;
and (D) Social Action.
(A) RELIGIOUS
There are 15 dioceses ; 879 churches and mission
CHURCH IN JAPAN 155
stations ; 155 monasteries and 405 convents. Catholics
number just on 320,000.
The Hierarchy is completely Japanese, consisting of
the Cardinal-Archbishop of Tokyo, the Archbishop of
Nagasaki, and the Bishops of Sapporo, Sendai, Niigata,
Urawa, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima,
Takamatsu, Fukuoka, Oita, and Kagoshima.
Under the jurisdiction and direction of the Japanese
Bishops are 1,745 priests (522 Japanese and 1,223
foreigners), 429 Brothers (250 Japanese and 179 for
eigners), 5,003 nuns (3,886 Japanese and 1,117 for
eigners) and a large number of Japanese catechists
and lay helpers.
The vocation rate in Japan for priests and Religious
Societies continues to be very high. The 1963 statistics
show that 412 were studying for the diocesan clergy,
and more than half that number for the various
Religious Societies of Priests ; while 542 are undergoing
training to become Brothers, and 1,726 to become
Sisters.
(B) EDUCATIONAL
There are the following educational facilities : Post
Graduate — 3 ; Universities — 10 ; Junior Colleges — 22 ;
High Schools— 106; Middle Schools— 96 ; Primary
Schools — 51 ; Special Schools — 23 ; Kindergartens —
460, for a total of 771.
The total enrollment is as follows : Schools — 124,
946, Kindergarten— 72,222, for a total of 197,168.
(C) SOCIAL WELFARE
The Catholic Church has the following social wel
fare institutions : Hospitals and Dispensaries — 59 ;
156 THE CHURCH
Orphanages— 40 ; Baby Homes— 8 ; Nurseries— 44 ;
Old Folks' Homes— 15; Homes for Feeble-minded
Children— 4; Dormitories— 20 ; Others— 54.
The Social Welfare Department, which is a part
of the National Catholic Committee, acts in a liaison
capacity for these major social welfare institutions
and activities. The total number of major social
welfare institutions is 244.
The hospitals and dispensaries provide, 3,430 beds
for patients ; 183 doctors and 913 nurses attend their
needs.
There are 5,291 children in the orphanages; 1,500
babies in the baby homes ; 6,000 children in nurseries ;
and 808 aged in old folks' homes. Homes for
delinquent girls take care of hundreds more. The
St. Vincent de Paul Society has 136 conferences
throughout Japan, whose 1,376 members devote their
activities to the poor and unemployed. The Catholic
Doctors' Association, with a membership of about
650, and the Catholic Nurses' Association, with a
much larger membership, give valuable services to
the community.
(D) SOCIAL ACTION
In the field of Social Action, the Catholic Church
; active. 'The Young Christian Workers"
. and J.O.C.F.), with headquarters in Tokyo,
s over 800 militant and many associate members,
*'ith 145 local councils. It publishes its own news
paper (circulation 12,000), and propagates Christian
cial principles, in an effort to rebut communism,
bring about better employer-employee relation-
For the rest, the Catholic Church in Japan
2 employment agencies, 9 students' centers,
CHURCH IN JAPAN 157
12 press and publication agencies, 7 Catholic culture
centers, athletic centers, and many other social services.
The Catholic Students' Association, with over 2,500
members, is active on the campus of about 50 univer
sities. The Catholic Migration Commission is busily
engaged helping emigrants, mainly to South American
countries.
The Church also actively cooperates with the
14 Community Chest", "Red Cross", and other
national social service agencies.
A Catholic Olympic Committee has been formed to
provide religious facilities and services for Catholic
athletes and visitors to Tokyo Olympic Games this
year.
At a diocesan level, the Church's administration,
including the various activities outlined above, is
under the direction of the local Bishop.
At a national level, the Apostolic Internuncio, the
Holy Father's Minister to Japan, maintains liaison
with the Japanese Government and the Vatican on
the one hand, and with the Japanese Hierarchy on
the other.
The National Catholic Committee of Japan is the
Church's central office for national affairs. It is
composed of all the members of the Hierarchy.
It has five departments : General Affairs, Education,
Social Welfare, Lay Apostolate and Public Information.
It is under the direction of an Administrative Board
of five Bishops. The Office of the Secretary General
is its service agency.
The Catholic Church in Japan has a well ordered
administrative machinery capable of handling its pre
sent wide spiritual, educational, and social welfare
program, which can readily be geared to meet a
greatly expanded program in the future.
158 THE CHURCH
This has made for internal unity and harmony ;
and has brought about smooth and happy relationships
with the Government, other religious groups, and the
community generally. The Government and its
officials are well disposed and cooperative, and the
Church is respected at every level of national life.
In the educational field the Church, with its im
posing array of school establishment, ranging from
universities and colleges right down to kindergartens,
speaks with an authoritative voice, which is given
courteous hearing in educational circles. In the social
welfare field, the Church is very active and is well
regarded by the Welfare Ministry.
In the prevailing atmosphere of ecumenism, it would
seem to be a new dawn of Christianity in the " Land
of the Rising Sun" which has been blessed indeed
by the Risen Son of God". Seen in true historic
perspective, the present finds its meaning in the past,
and its complete fulfilment in the future.
Ill CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Robert Fulop, Edit.
True to its historical heritage, Christianity in Japan
continues to make its influence felt in the realm of
education. Church school education, in spite of set
backs during the last several years, persists to thrive
and form a base for many churches. Theological
education, though plagued with its problems of pro
liferation, remains the source for the churchs' evan
gelistic and pastoral leadership. Less directly related
to the churches are the many schools which offer
instruction from kindergarten to the university level
in the context of vital Christianity. This chapter will
deal with these three phases of Christian education,
attempting to cover as wide an area of Christian
activity as possible.
1. CHURCH SCHOOLS
•
Edwin Fisch, & Yoshio Kimura
Present day Japan is, in many respects, a nation of
the young ; and this implication is fully appreciated
by leaders in the government. They have given
primary importance to problems of the education of
children and young people, to guide each to a proper
place as a constructive member of Japanese society.
With this emphasis as a background, what place does
the church give to Christian Education in its overall
program ?
That the church recognizes a responsibility is evident
from the emphasis placed upon Christian day kinder-
160 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
gartens where there is a unique opportunity to early in
culcate Christian truth in the child, and likewise to
gain at least acceptance with the parents of the value of
Christian instruction. Most churches have a Sunday
School, and there is a growing prominence to extra
curricular activity and Christian camp programs. By
and large, churches are actively engaged throughout
the week with many activities centering in the church
premises. Much of this is however of an informal
nature ; and thus in terms of formal class training,
how does the church emphasis compare with that of
the government in secular education ?
Favorable Factors
There are many favorable factors to a program of
Christian education in Japan. Church membership is
nude up of literate Christians, all with a formal school
ground, and many of these have had high school
fair number have had college training. It can
safely stated that all children of school age
-ble to read graded materials. • So it is technically
every Christian to become a Sunday School
Cher, and it is possible for every child to use work-
' or leaflets and to look up references in the
bible.
This has made possible an abundance of Sunday
literature, such as is unknown to most of the
non-Christian countries of the world.
The average enrollment for a Sunday School is about

Ms large enough to have a good program, yei
gh so the child is not -lost" in the
here ,s room for each child to have an
• and opportunity for personal recognition
CHURCH SCHOOLS 161
Also, the average church membership of 72 should
be adequate both to finance the Sunday School and
to provide its teaching staff.
The average Sunday School has five teachers, with
a fairly high absentee rate among pupils, giving each
teacher an average of seven students present each
Sunday. This pupil/teacher ratio is considerably better
than the average found in western countries. Thus
the teacher has no more students than she can easily
teach, pray for, follow up, and guide in spiritual birth
and growth.
Sunday School work has been a part of the church
program in Japan for many years, and is considered
to be a definite part of the church program.
Disturbing Trends
Amid such ideal teaching situations, the alarming
trend is towards lessening returns in terms of pupil
attendance. A study of statistics over the past ten
years reveals an interesting pattern. The total number
of Sunday Schools in operation has remained fairly
constant, for the difference between the highest number
and the lowest number does not exceed 15% or
averages 1.5% per year. So the church has maintained
its regular program throughout this period.
The number of Sunday School teachers has been
relatively constant, with a slight decrease of 6% noted
over the past six years, a minor change of but 1%
a year. So the churches have continued to challenge
and enlist Sunday School teachers.
It is in the important area of results, or number
of children reached, that the trend downward acceler
ates. In the past ten years, enrollment has dropped
20%, and attendance has dropped 30° o- The encourag-
lfl, CHRISTIAN HDUCATION
invention Sunday Schools have increased in attend
ance 10% over four years. Assemblies of God church-
es have increased their attendance by 15% in the
same period. The Emmanuel Church association and
Brethren Assemblies have retained the same number
of students although Brethren attendance seems to be
only one-third of their enrollment.
During the same four year period, the Southern
Baptist Convention, Christian and Missionary Alliance,
Free Methodists, and Church of the Nazarene in
creased in both number of Sunday Schools, and
number of teachers, but dropped in students.
In all other groups in the survey, which considered
only those with a total Sunday School enrollment of
1,000 students or more, there was a decrease, both
in the Sunday School program and in the number
of students.
In fairness, one should state that figures have been
compiled from the yearbooks of Christo Shimbun Sha,
which contain many incomplete returns. Where ad
ditional or more accurate information was available,
we have used it ; thus if errors should be found in
this analysis, we would be most happy to be notified.
In examining the programs of those churches which
have increased their attendance, it is noteworthy that
they are the groups which have considered the Sunday
School as their primary means of teaching evangelism,
CHURCH SCHOOLS 163
and which have an intensive program in their home
countries. The full effect has not been only in the in
crease in Sunday School attendance, but at the same
time their whole church program has profited, with
increases in number of churches, church workers and
in church membership.
Conversely, where Sunday School attendance has
decreased, there has been for the most part a very
modest gain in church membership. Among several
exceptions to this pattern is The Evangelical Alliance
Mission, which records a nearly 50% increase in
membership, while recording a greater than 50% drop
in Sunday School attendance. The inference seems
to be that there is a strong evangelistic program,
but it is geared primarily to the adult level, with a
weakened emphasis on Sunday School evangelism.
Influencing Factors
Many have tried to find the reasons for this drop
in attendance, and it has been variously ascribed to:
television which, in taking up so much of the children's
study time, requires the use of Sunday to catch up
on studies, and the rising economy with the increase
in week-end and other outings by the family. In
the competition for education, some parents arrange
for special tutoring on Sundays. A rising spirit of
materialism has also affected the desire for spiritual
learning. There is also some intensification of efforts
by non-Christian groups.
These and other factors all affect the picture, yet
the fact is that some churches made gains in spite of
this. Where there is a planned and pressed Sunday
School program it seems to record gains each year.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
The real problem may not be as much in external
as in internal matters.
In the ratio of church members to Sunday School
pupils, The Baptist General Conference has two Sunday
School pupils in attendance for each church member.
Southern Baptists, The Evangelical Alliance Mission
Church of the Nazarene, Assemblies of God, and
Brethren groups all have more pupils than members.
*>me have as little as one pupil for each four mem-
although the average for all churches is one
pupil for each two church members. By comparison
some missions had four pupils for each
church member, and the national average was better
than 1.5 pupils per church member.
Jearly forty years ago, the Appraisal Commission
amous survey of mission methods One
we* that missionaries largely reproduce
I hus pastors reproduce pastors, evangelists
>duce evangelists, teachers reproduce teachers. Is
' not a factor in the pattern here ?
How many missionaries are actively interested in
promoting Sunday School work is a difficultTueslon
embarassing to ask how many have an active
part m teaching. Many have taught only during
CHURCH SCHOOLS 165
completed. Regardless of how many branch Sunday
Schools are started and turned over to national leader
ship, with less than one half of 1% of the children
in Sunday School, every church could well start an
additional branch Sunday School every year.
Most Japanese pastors are aware of the need for a
Sunday School in their church. But in general it has
been a subordinate position, and largely staffed by
women teachers. This may reflect a weakness in
training schools, which almost without exception have
no required courses in Christian Education for future
pastors. Thus there is a real need for seminaries
and Bible Schools to strengthen their Christian Educa
tion departments and to make certain courses required
for graduation.
As pastors have seen the value of the Sunday
School, the results have been phenomenal. One Chiba
pastor has started one branch after another, and at
last report had four Sunday Schools in connection
with his church. Another began a ministry of prayer
for each child in the home where a contact had been
made. Today there is a flourishing church built upon
the Sunday School pupils of earlier years.
N.C.C. Program
In regard to the program of the National Christian
Council, the Rev. Yoshio Kimura reports as follows :
" At the Annual Meeting of the National Christian
Council in March, 1964, it was decided to change
the name of the National Christian Council Church
School Department to the Church Education Depart
ment. As the Church Education Department it has
already been active in all the churches, with the re
sponsibility of general church education. Of course,
166 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
the church school was the central part of this.
" As the NCC Church Education Department, it is
now considered able to contribute to all churches and
denominations ; and church educational leaders on a
high level have held study conferences and conferences
of education department heads for the purpose of
contact and cooperation. The tendency in all churches
at present is to change the educational committee into
an education bureau. About half of the churches
with whom we cooperate have made this change.
1 \Ve knov that all the denominations have put
their energy into activities of church education, but
we cannot say as yet that there is an increase in
numbers. It is clear, however, that efforts are being
put forth to spread education throughout the entire
church.
' At present the affiliated members and associate
member denominations are as follows : United Church
of Christ in Japan, Anglican Episcopal Church, Japan
A-angelical Lutheran Church, Japan Baptist Conven
tion, Japan Baptist Union, Church of Christ in Japan,
Korean Church, Japan Jesus Christ Church, Church
Salvation Army, Free Methodist
vh ond a number of other churches of various
denominations.

The trend is not particulary outstanding, but

report from others, but each year sees an
increase in this adult education.

teachers, and all over Japan they are holding training
courses for this purpose."
It should be noted that the above figures are for
associates as well as full members of the NCC Church
Education Department ; hence some of these figures
will be duplicated in other statistics.
Statistics for Sunday School work for all Protestant
groups, as compared with figures for church member
ship, are as follows :
Sunday Schools 3,519 Churches 5,393
(and preaching points)
S. S. teachers 18.278 Pastors 7,101
(and evangelists)
S. S. enrollment 210,708 Members 391,015
S. S. attendance 121,111 Attendance 177,581
(all meetings)
Among the Pentecostal groups there is considerable
interest in children's work with 323 Sunday Schools
with an attendance of 10,935.
Areas of Christian Education
The church program for Christian education begins
with Christian day kindergartens, which as a rule
have a greater enrollment and attendance than the
Sunday School proper. These are effective in teaching
Bible stories, hymns and prayers to young children.
In the Sunday School proper, most have three de
partments : pre-school, grades 1-3, and grades 4-6.
Some have high school classes, and a beginning has
been made in adult Sunday School classes, where
previously the European type of Sunday School, for
children only, was the rule.
Vacation Bible Schools for a five day period are
showing real promise, and in this area, gains have
168 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
been recorded each year. This is usually graded in
four departments, pre-school through middle school.
Bible camps are increasing in number yearly, and
their programs are now extending over to more of
the year. Most of the larger missions maintain their
own camps. The young people and college age
groups are particularly affected in this work, although
some adult camps are also in operation.
J.S.S.U. Program
The Sunday School department for most of the
conservative groups is the Japan Sunday School Union,
•vhich carries on no direct Sunday School teaching
but instead operates solely with and through
existing churches. Its services are used by more than
ssions or church associations in Japan, and it
has the most extensive and complete program of litera
ture production in Japan in its field.
Activities supplementary to the usual Sunday School
ities have been started, such as Pioneer Girls
Allots, Boy's Brigade, Child Evangelism, etc
leacher training programs are on the increase, a
r of regional rallies being held throughout the
In addition, Japan Sunday School Union holds
Sunday School workers' retreat during
olden Week (April 29-May 5) each year.
Literature

• hese are in three groups, the denominational,
nterdenommational, and the undenominational
In the first group are : denominations such
Japan Lutheran Church (Concordia), and the
CHURCH SCHOOLS 169
Japan Baptist Convention (Jordan).
The above publish primarily for their own denomi
nations, and usually issue monthly supplements.
All publish a teacher's manual in magazine format.
Some issue childrens' leaflets or magazines. The
synthetic curricula materials prepared by the Church
School Department of NCCJ are typical interdenomi
national materials.
In the undenominational field, the Japan Sunday
School Union issues two separate curricula, each
on a quarterly basis, with teacher's manuals, pupil
leaflets, and pupil workbooks. As the largest Sunday
School publisher, it also publishes teacher training
manuals, attendance cards and charts, large teaching
pictures, flannelgraphs, hymnals, and an annual VBS
course. All its materials are issued in color printing.
A real problem is that Sunday School work will
never reach more than a minimal percent of the
children of Japan. One of the attempts has been through
attractive literature. A number of Christian children's
magazines are being issued, one being ** Otomodachi "
in four colors. Another most fruitful method has
been that of placing a set of Bible story books in
public school libraries. This set of five volumes is
illustrated with more than 240 full color pictures, and
has been extremely popular with school children.
Japan Sunday School Union has encouraged missions
to place these sets in each school in their areas of
work, and 1963 alone saw more than 1200 sets placed
in public school libraries. Some sets are in every
prefecture of Japan, and one prefecture, Nagano Ken,
has a set in each of its 450 primary schools, and in
most of its middle schools, largely through the efforts
of Rev. J. Norton, of The Evangelical Alliance
Mission. Similarly, all the middle schools, and many
170 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
of the primary schools in Yokohoma have sets through
the diligence of Rev. R. Degelman. Another mission
is seeking to complete Niigata Prefecture, and so the
work continues.
In Christian education, one of the problems is to
acquaint Sunday School teachers with available ma
terials and provide ready accessability to them. Direct
mail orders, formerly practical, no longer attract buyers
since the present mail rates frequently add one-third
to the cost. This has encouraged the rise of many
regional Christian bookstores, and more are being
started monthly. This trend has shown the need for
cooperation, and the Japan Christian Booksellers As
sociation was formed during the year 1963. This
should improve the teacher's flow of information re
garding adequate teaching helps and teaching tools.
A New Challenge
As 1963 drew to a close, a new challenge faced the
church. Buddhists, meeting on December 17, deter
mined to establish 14,000 Sunday Schools during the
next ten years, and set an initial budget of ¥ 550,
000,000 (US$1,500,000) for this project. In a day
when Protestant Sunday School work is at the lowest
ebb in ten years, Buddhism sees in the Sunday School
movement the essential method that they anticipate
will strengthen their own movement. And so the
church, with the method, with the message, and with
the motive, has its challenge and its opportunity, and
its responsibility under God.
2. THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION
Cyril Powlcs
"The Japan Christian Year Book" for 1960 lists
"around 60 Christian theological schools and semi
naries in Japan." For the purposes of this survey those
institutions loosely classed as Bible Schools are being
dealt with in the latter half of this section. We have
therefore somewhat arbitrarily denned a seminary as
being a school where preparation is carried on, either
for the ordained ministry of the Church, or at least
for a full-time career as a paid worker. Even so, it is
difficult to make a clear division between a seminary and
a Bible School, while many church-related colleges and
universities (e.g., Rikkyo University in Tokyo) have
departments of Christian studies which carry on the
ological education, although they are not formally
recognized as being qualified to prepare people for
the ministry.
Accordingly, we have sent out a questionnaire to
fifteen schools and colleges which were thought to be
representative, as follows :
(1) Kyodan related. Tokyo Union Theological
Seminary (TUTS), Japan Biblical Seminary (JBS),
Tsurukawa Rural Institute, and the Colleges of Theology
of Doshisha, and Kansei Gakuin Universities, and
Department of Theology of Aoyama Gakuin.
(2) Seikokai related. Central Theological College
(CTC), Williams Shingakkan, and the Department
of Chrisitan Studies of Shoin Junior College.
(3) Lutheran. Japan Lutheran Seminary (now
University) ( JLS) , and the Kobe Lutheran Seminary,
172 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
(4) Baptist. Kanto Gakuin College of Theology
and Seinan Gakuin Department of Theology.
(5) Reformed. Nippon Kirisuto Shingakko (Nik-
ki) and Kobe Kaikaku Shingakko.
Of the above, detailed replies have been received
from eleven, the results of which have been tabulated
below. In this connection, it is important to note
that the basis of the figures quoted seem to vary from
school to school, so that the information will only
serve as the roughest of guides for purposes of
comparison.
Types of Schools
As no report on theological education has been
given in the 'Year Book " since 1960, it may help to
review the general situation in this country. Institu
tions giving education in theology are roughly di
visible into three types :
Universities. These give a four year liberal
in theology course, after which candidates for
the ministry generally have to take a further two
ears for a M.Th. or M.A. in Theology degree in
to qualify. Such courses are given by TUTS,
isha, Aoyama Gakuin, Kansei Gakuin, and Kanto
kum, as well as some others which are strictly
outside the limits of this survey. The newest recruit
these ranks is JLS, which has become a Daigaku
commencement of the academic year 1964.
Graduate only. CTC gives a three year
i theology, leading to a B.D. on presentation
Entrance is only for graduates of a
university, although some special students

recognize a graduate school which does not have its

own undergraduate course, this school is in the some
what anomalous position of being ranked in Japan
with sewing and cooking schools, although its degree
has been consistently recognized by universities in
Europe and America for purposes of graduate study
for higher degrees.
(3) Schools (including J unior Colleges}. Courses
in this group are quite varied. They range from 3 to
4 years of training, with or without high school grad
uation, down to the course given by Nikki, which
has a seven year course (Yoka-3, Honka-3, and Gra-
duate-1). The institutions in this category are JBS,
Tsurukawa Institute, Williams, Shoin, Kobe Lutheran,
Kobe Kaikaku, Nikki, and, up to 1964, Japan Lu
theran Seminary.
Courses
As may be seen by a glance at Table II, the courses
given are remarkably similar (at least on the surface) .
Both in content and in emphasis they would appear
to follow closely the curriculum of any western theolog
ical college or seminary. As in the latter, the Big
Four of Biblical Studies, Systematic Theology, Church
History and Practical Theology take up the greater
part of the timetable, while a comparatively small
amount of time is spent on Japanese Christianity.
Undoubtedly, this latter subject is also covered in
such courses as Practical Theology, Apologetics, and
Church History, so that a snap judgement on this
point may be unfair.
Certain differences also appear. There is a great
variation in the number of hours devoted to worship,
ranging from twenty minutes in the morning to 2.5
hours a day. One school reports a weekly prayer
174 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
meeting, while another has a daily schedule of 1 hour
in the morning plus 30 minutes of meditation, followed
hy noon prayers, evening prayer, and Compline last
thing at night. Factors in these differences include,
not only theological differences, but also the problem
of students living out.
Changes
Readers will naturally be interested in changes
which have taken place since our last survey. On
the whole there are surprisingly few, but one or two
trends are clearly visible, For instance, colleges in
the Kyodan connection have increased their courses
in practical theology, Christian Education, etc. TUTS
reports, ''New program (of field work) concentrates
on student'" in"' his fifth year ; includes consultation
periodically with church pastors involved, counselling,
etc." Aoyama Gakuin reports, " strengthening of
the practical field, esp. Christian Education." TUTS
also appears to have increased the hours in Church
History, Japanese Christianity, and Worship, at the
expense of a greater amount of time formerly spent
on Systematic Theology.
Although outside the limits of this survey, it is not
irrelevant to note the opening of a new Institute of
Christian Education (JICE) at Rikkyo University,
which has been responsible for the conducting of a
number of Group Life Laboratories on a cross-con
fessional basis. This institute is also exploring the
possibility of a clinical training program to be con
ducted in conjunction with the medical and psy
chiatric staff of St. Luke's International Hospital.
There is a general tendency to lengthen courses on
every hand in order to make room for new subjects
THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION 175
and more intensive training. As we have seen, Japan
Lutheran Seminary (JLS) has now become a Daigaku,
while Kobe Lutheran has extended the course from
three years to four. Seinan Gakuin has divided the
course into a B.D. course and a Bible School, with
opportunity for graduates of the former to do further
study at the Asia Baptist Theological Seminary. Bibli
cal Seminary (JBS) now has a graduate, or kenkyu,
course of one year in addition to its former regular
course of five years. Central Theological College
(CTC) has added courses in European Culture, Japan
ese Culture, and Japanese Church History. Kanto
has been granted permission by the Ministry of Edu
cation to offer courses leading to the Doctor of
Theology degree.
There is a fair amount of international exchange
being carried on, even though one school, in answer
to this question replied, " No ! Purpose is for Japan
ese." The Tokyo Union Theological Seminary
(TUTS) reports, " We usually have students from
Korea, Taiwan and Okinawa." Both Williams and
CTC regularly have students from Okinawa and this
year are exchanging with students from Korea and
Malaysia. JLS has had a student from India. Lan
guage is, of course, the greatest problem here. The
best organized programme of this nature is, without
doubt, the Southeast Asia Christian Rural Training
Course sponsored by the Tsurukawa Rural Institute
and supported by the East Asia Christian Council.
Registration in this course runs around 10 students
coming from five different countries (1962). Instruc
tion is in English and courses are given in the three
main divisions of Agriculture, Rural Life, and Rural
Church.
17(J CHRISTIAN RDUCATION
Problems
Finally, let us glance at certain problems common
to all or most of these institutions.
(1) Enrollment. Reference to Table I will show
that there seems to have been little change in numbers
of students, although exact figures are not available
over an extended period. However, periodicals of ten
years ago mention a figure of " about two hundred
students" for TUTS, while the enrollment at CTC
at that time was around 25. As the overall member
ship of the parent churches has ostensibly been in
creasing over this period, the lack of increase in
candidates for the ministry would seem to indicate
an actual falling-off of numbers.
(2) Finances. All institutions without exception
are pinched financially. As theological students are
not generally supported by their families, fees must
be kept at a minimum. A church which is straining
itself to attain financial self-support at the local level
has little left over for the support of an expensive
central institution. Consequently, a great deal of
support has to be sought abroad and this naturally
is done on a basis of minimum, rather than optimum,
requirements.
(3) Lack of Specialized Books in Japanese. A
glance at Table I will show that in almost every
school books in foreign languages (mostly German
and English) far outnumber Japanese works. This
places a great strain on students, as they must turn to
foreign works as soon as their introductory study is
finished. The Theological Education Fund is at pre
sent assisting in the cost of translating and publishing
basic texts, and in the writing of new ones. The
situation is much better than it was, but improvement

is gradual.
(4) Duplication of Facilities. Although some teach
ers teach in two theological schools or universities,
a rough calculation of the 11 schools circularized
indicates a total of 492 students are presently being
taught by 199 full-or part-time instructors, a ratio of
approximately one teacher to 2.5 students. Coupled
with the financial problem, this gives some idea of
the waste which results from an over-duplication of
educational facilities. One federated faculty each in
the Kanto and Kansai areas could easily handle all
applicants, leaving plenty of talent left over for a
top-notch graduate school as well. Confessional con
victions and differences in traditions of worship and
discipline could be safeguarded by having separate
hostels and by having special courses taught by re
presentatives of the respective churches. This is done
regularly in the West without compromise of belief.
In Japan, the obstacle to be hurdled would be rather
the cultural tendency to guard jealously the autonomy
of the separate unit.
EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS 179
3. JAPAN ASSOCIATION OF EVANGELICAL
THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS
John M.L. Young
In June 1962, the Japan Council of Evangelical
Missions called together a conference of evangelical
educators for a two day meeting immediately preced
ing their own gathering. At this conference papers
were read on such subjects as " The Value and
Possibility of Specially Qualified Visiting Lecturers,"
" The Problem of Text Books in Japan for Christian
Schools," and " What An Accrediting Agency Can
Do for Our Christian Schools." Study groups then met
to discuss the problems of school discipline, finances,
faculty, practical work and textbooks. At the business
session, the twelve schools having representatives pre
sent agreed unanimously to go on record as favoring
the establishment of an association of those engaged
in the training of Christian workers for mutual as
sistance and encouragement ; and that this association
contemplate as one of its possible objectives the es
tablishment of an accrediting association for these
schools in the future. A steering committee to call
an organizing conference, representing five of the
schools, was appointed with Donald E. Hoke of the
Japan Christian College as chairman.
This committee convened a "Conference on Theolog
ical Education " which met that October. Representa
tives came from twenty schools and passed the follow
ing resolution. "Be it resolved that we form, for
the purpose of cooperation in advancing our common
goals, an association of evangelical, Biblical, theologi-
180 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
cal schools engaged in training Christian workers.
It is understood that this association is not directly
affiliated with any other existing ecclesiastical or edu
cational organization." The name chosen for the
organization was " The Japan Association of Evan
gelical Theological Schools," Nihon Fukuinshugi Shin-
gakko Kyogikai. A constitutional committee was
elected with Akiji Kurumada of the Tokyo Bible
Seminary and John M.L. Young of the Japan Chris
tian Theological Seminary as co-chairmen, and the
steering committee was asked to continue until a
spring conference should be convened.
At the May 1963 conference, the proposed con
stitution was modified and adopted after lengthy ex
amination. It contains an eight point evangelical
doctrinal statement, and states the purpose of the
association in these words. "This organization, as
an association of evangelical institutions engaged in
training Christian workers, shall promote cooperation
among member schools to the end that each may
better fulfill its educational objectives." In addition
to subscription to the doctrinal statement and purpose,
the following criteria for membership were inserted
in the constitution :
a) A minimum of five regular students.
b) Two regular faculty members.
An academic school year equivalent to at least
thirty weeks of fifteen class hours each week,
d) A two year academic course.
A temporary executive committee of four Japanese
three missionaries was elected to serve until the
At this October 1963 conference, three
addresses were given on the subjects of "Objectives
Methods of Attaining Them, of 1) A Bible
A Bible College ; and 3) A Theological
EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS isi
Seminary." In addition, Professor Haruo Omura,
associate professor of philosophy at Tokyo Metropolitan
University and an elder at the Namamugi Presbyterian
Church, gave an address on " Theological Education
in the Context of Modern Japanese Society and
Culture." An executive committee of seven members
was elected to serve in two classes, retiring in alternate
years, with John M.L. Young chosen as the first
president. The following standing committees were
also authorized :
a) Study Commission on Legal Affairs.
b) Study Commission on Educational Philosophy.
c) Study Commission on Faculty Qualifications.
d) Study Commission on Financial Affairs.
The charter membership was left open until the
April 1964 conference, at which time there were ten
regular member schools enrolled and two associate
members, not yet qualifying for full membership,
with five other schools sending official observers. At
this latest conference a comprehensive report was
made by the chairman of the Study Commission on
Financial Affairs, Mr. Sakurai of the JCC. He went
into the principles and practices of administration and
management of schools, sources of income and ex
penditures including school fees for tuition, room and
board, faculty and staff salaries and allowances, arbeit,
honoraria for visiting speakers, and other matters.
Along with a mimeographed eight page report, he
presented fourteen pages of wage scales of government
and other schools, and the tuition fees of twenty well
known colleges. It was decided to make this material
available to non-members, with other reports submit
ted, for the price of the conference registration fee.
Those interested may get in touch with the Associa
tion's secretary, Mr. Higuchi, at the JCC.
182 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Another address was that of William Cessna on
"Pastoral Counselling for Pastors and Teachers."
Mr. Cessna is writing his doctoral thesis in this area
for Michigan State University. The chairman of the
Study Commission on Legal Affairs, Professor Yama-
zaki of Tokyo Bible Seminary, gave a progress report
of their investigations concerning kinds of government
recognition and the attending advantages and disad
vantages, as well as matters dealing with incorporation
(hojin). He will bring a full report at the next
conference.
Evangelical School Situation Today
AsJ nearly as can be determined, there are now
forty-four evangelical institutions in Japan engaged in
training Christian workers which could qualify for
membership in the Association. To learn more about
them a survey questionnaire was sent to them inquiring
as to their student body during the last semester, number
of teachers including part-time ones, the purpose of
the training being given, and the entrance require
ments. From the information at hand the following
report has been tabulated.

EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS 183
It is obvious from these figures that many of these
schools are quite small, the average attendance being
21.5. Actually 18 of the schools had 15 or fewer
students. For the education of every 3.07 students,
at least part of the time of a Christian leader is re
quired. The survey is not complete but these ratios
would probably hold in a complete return. A more
complete survey form has been prepared to gather
more information such as the ratio of men students
to women, of Japanese teachers to missionary, the
extent of libraries and the semester hours required
per course. It is to be hoped that this material will
be available for a later report.
Numerous Schools
The question naturally arises as to why there should
be so many of these small theological schools for the
training of ministers (or evangelists) , Bible Women
and laymen. Since it has been reported that more than
half, 23 out of 44, of these evangelical schools
have been begun, or re-activated, during the last five
years, it is apparent that there must exist dissatisfac
tion with the previously established schools. To this
writer the two primary reasons for this dissatisfaction
appear to be the following.
First, there is a deep dissatisfaction on the part of
evangelicals with the theology of many of the older
schools for theological training. This accounts for
the existance of most of the evangelical schools,
whereas the second reason to be given may throw
light on the recent upsurge of new schools. Evan
gelicals desire advanced training for their Christian
leaders but they are determined that this training will
be within the framework of historic Christianity cen-
184 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
tered in the supernatural person and work of Christ
and the infallible authority of Scripture. Modern
Biblical criticism, resting on the foundation of last
century's rationalistic higher criticism, is today the
accepted approach to Scripture of many, if not most,
of Japan's older theological institutions whether orient
ed to the older liberalism or the newer neo-orthodox
or existential theology. For this reason the majority
of postwar evangelical missions will not consider
sending their young, prospective leaders to these
schools but insist on their attending evangelical schools
upholding their view of Scripture and of Christ.
Secondly, there is dissatisfaction in more recent
years, on the part of some, with even sending their
young people to the earlier postwar evangelical schools.
The reason is different from the first but it does ex
plain, at least in part, the recent upsurge of new
schools. Joint inter-mission evangelical schools were
tried after the war, and some are continuing, but the
pendulum is now swinging away from that direction.
The reason is the experiences many have had in
smaller missions with special emphases, or in rural
areas sending students to city schools, especially Tokyo,
of having their young people turn to one of the larger
works represented in the school, or lose their en
thusiasm for the mission's special denominational
emphasis, or even become critical of it, or after years
in the city losing their interest in rural evangelism
and church building. The result has been the more
recent effort to educate the young people in the local
area with the corresponding great increase of schools.
These schools are necessarily greatly limited as to
students, facilities (especially libraries) and faculty
members. The question arises as to whether this
method will work or whether in the long run it will
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 185
not fail to reach the desired goal of providing ad
equately trained ministers for the local churches.
Whether there is a better method, and if so, what it
is and how can it be made to function, is one of the
problems in evangelical school cooperation to which
the Japan Association of Evangelical Theological
Schools must address itself.
4 CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS
Daisy Edgerton
Japan is one the most highly educated countries of
the world and Christian schools have and are con
tinuing to make a contribution in the field of Japanese
education. In the early days when direct evangelism
was not possible, the missionaries turned to schools
as a means of reaching Japan's non-Christian society.
Most of the Christian schools in Japan, except those
established after the war by Japanese Christians,
were started as a means of evangelism by some for
eign mission board, and the tradional spirit of evan
gelism is strong in these schools. The schools now
receive only a small part of their total budget from
mission boards and are supported almost entirely
through tuitions from students. Most of the schools
have rejected the term " mission school " because of
its implication of foreign support and control, but
they have proudly maintained the term " Christian
sch(X)l ' ' . They continue to feel close to the boards
that established them and to the ideals of their early
founders. They feel that they are continuing to
participate in ** mission ". The Christian schools
186 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
strive for a Christian faculty ; they require Bible study ;
and they have regular worship services and special
evangelistic services as part of their regular curriculum.
They also have Christian clubs and Christian con
ferences for both faculty and students. In addition
to this they sponsor Bible classes for parents and
actively encourage students to attend local churches
and participate in church activities.
Problems
Christian educational institutions, however, have
many problems and are continually struggling with
these problems and trying to find solutions to them.
Since no school can exist unless the schools attract
students, this becomes one of the first problems for
the Christian schools. In order to do this, most of
the schools have recently (in the last ten years)
rebuilt and installed new equipment in an effort to
have at least as good facilities as those of public
schools. Many schools have also expanded into other
levels of education, since the " elevator" type schools
(schools in which students move from one level to
another without taking entrance examinations) are
more attractive; and the schools genuinely feel that
they have a contribution to make in these other levels
of education. For example, in addition to statistics
given with this article, the 1964-65 school year saw
two junior colleges enlarge to four year colleges
and five high schools add junior college departments.
The majority of Christian schools are girls' schools
and girls are now getting more education than in
the past. There has also been an increase of
at least three elementary school departments since
1960.
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 187
As more and more students go on to college, there
is greater pressure on the high school to prepare
students for passing college entrance examinations
which calls for greater emphasis on academic teaching
and maintaining high academic standards. This has
caused many schools which formerly had a five day
week to change to a five and a half day week, and
and to teach longer hours per day. There is hope
that some relief may come in this area with the
institution of the new college board type of examina
tions inaugurated in 1963.
In spite of these efforts to attract students it is
necessary to remember that the post-war student
population varies from year to year and the number
of students ready to enter a particular level of educa
tion directly affects the number of applicants at that
level. The years 1960 and 1961 were peak years for
junior high schools and thus 1963 and 1964 became
peak years for senior high schools (and 1966 and
1967 will be the peak years for colleges). In those
years all Christian schools had far more applicants
than they could accept. However the year 1964
brought a definite drop in numbers ready to enter
junior high school. This brought a corresponding
drop in the number of applicants to enter Christian
schools. For example one Christian boys' school
received only 17 applicants and therefore decided not
to have a first year class and at this point it seems
probable that it will discontinue its junior high
school entirely. One girls' school that desired 250
students received only 43 applications. Other schools
gave two examinations in an effort to get the required
number of students. This situation applies to all
private schools, including Protestant, Catholic, Bud
dhist and others. In fact Christian schools in Tokyo
188
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
were still better able to attract pupils than other
schools because of their reputation for high academic
standards and character building.
Another factor that must be taken into considera
tion is that the public schools are free, and since
junior high school has been made compulsory, the
government has spent a great deal of money on im
proving schools at this level. Also as the elementary
school population decreases, the public elementary
school teachers face the possibility of losing their
jobs unless they can be given jobs in the public junior
high schools. For this reason they encourage their
students to attend public junior high schools rather
than private schools. At last the population seems
to have leveled off and the schools can now make
their plans on the basis of the continuation of the
present numbers. In making these plans they must
remember that government junior high schools now
have a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 49 and are com
mitted to decreasing this ratio as fast as possible.
Christian schools are continually criticized for being
too large — that is having too many sections per class
and too many students per section, especially when
Christian education is assumed to be most effective
when it is on a personal basis. Christian university
students are concentrated in the areas of economics
(22,689), literature (18,146), law (8,354) , commerce
(7,525) and engineering (4,341) with the results of
teacher-student ratios of 1 to 65 in economics, 1 to
35 in literature, 1 to 63 in law, 1 to 65 in commerce
and 1 to 27 in engineering. Because of this the
teacher-student ratio in the Christian universities is
among the highest in Japan, while that of the Govern
ment supported universities is among the lowest with
the other well-known universities falling in between.
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 189
Administrators recognize this as a problem and are
trying to meet it in part through better and increased
counselling programs. By admitting large numbers is the
one way that they have of meeting their financial re
sponsibilities. Most schools are heavily in debt for their
buildings and equipment and must meet loan payments.
Also there is pressure on them to constantly increase
teachers' salaries. In government schools salaries are
continually going up. Christian schools do not keep
pace with government schools but they cannot afford
to stay too far behind. In one school, 90% of the
monthly tuition fee is used for the teachers' salaries
and the entrance fee is used for paying off indebtness
for capital improvement. Almost all schools are forced
to increase tuitions each year. In one college, over
the past ten years the yearly tuition fee has tripled
but each year there is a greater gap in the actual
amount it costs to educate a student and the amount
of the tuition. Christian schools are aimed at the
children of middle class people where salary increases
have been slow. These schools will lose their signifi
cance if they can't provide equal opportunities for all
regardless of financial status. Few if any schools,
have received increased grants from the mission boards.
In 1963, Interboard related schools received 1.2% of
their budget from the Interboard Committee, and
from now on will be receiving an annual 10% de
crease in grants. For a number of years the American
Baptists have given no grants to their related schools
for running expenses. And 1963 marked the begin
ning of the new policy of the Anglican Church of
giving no support for running expenses of junor-senior
high schools. The Southern Presbyterian Board seems
to be the only board committed to substantial support
of schools in order to help them to be " more Chris-
190 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
tian". This becomes particularly critical when we
realize that teachers themselves have formed unions
in many of the Christian schools and are working
for higher salaries and better working conditions.
On the other hand, 1963 saw student strikes on many
Christian college campuses because tuition increases
were announced.
Prospects For Evangelism
Quite in contrast to a few years ago, the present
student population, including those students in Chris
tian schools, does not offer a fertile field for evan
gelism. According to one study, less than 10% of
Japanese young people have any interest at all in
religion. They are concerned with money and the
pleasures that it can buy. The Christian schools have
not escaped the problem of wide-spread juvenile de
linquency brought about by this attitude. A number
of their students have been involved in crimes of
robbery and even murder. They are aware that they
must work even harder so that modern Japanese
youth will not move into the vacuum where God and
conscience have no place.
Christian administrators realize that this can be done
only with a Christian faculty and it is their sincere
goal to have an all Christian faculty. Nevertheless,
this is one of the most difficult problems that the
schools face. Actual statistics are not available on
the number of Christian teachers but it seems that there
is an average of about 60% and this varies greatly from
school to school, from academic level to academic level,
and from department to department. The smallest
percentage of Christian teachers is in the universities
and the largest percentage is in the elementary schools.
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 191
The problem is that there are not enough academically
qualified Christian teachers. An administrator for a
Christian school is forced to choose between a qualified
non-Christian or a non-qualified Christian. And the
Christian teacher is forced to choose between a Chris
tian school with limited academic opportunities and
a non -Christian school with broad academic oppor
tunities. One reason for this problem in recent years
has been that for women at least, the teaching pro
fession has been less popular than it once was because
of the increased opportunities for women to go into
the business world. As some of the " romance" of
the business world falls off it would seem that once
again women would be attracted to the field of teaching.
It must also be remembered that the great emphasis
in Japanese society in the post-war period has been
on gaining rights and privileges and little emphasis
on service and willingness to sacrifice. Even Christian
young people seem to have been affected more by
this emphasis in society than by Christian ideals.
Many of the Christian teachers themselves seem to
lack a sense of mission. Administrators have to take on
the task of evangelizing non-Christian teachers, and in
spiring higher ideals in their Christian faculty members,
in addition to their task of providing Christian education
for students. Christian school administrators are con
cerned with the problem of how to reach potential
teachers with Christianity and how to recruit teachers
who are Christians.
The recruitment of teachers who are Christians is
only one area in which the schools are trying to work
more closely with the churches. Many schools hold
annual meetings with the pastors and church school
teachers of the churches their students attend. For
a number of years this has been mostly a getting
192 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
acquainted meeting but recently there seems to be
more effort to deal realistically with problems of
common concern and better coordination of efforts.
This is not such a problem in Anglican schools where
the bishops are automatically on the school boards,
or in the Southern Presbyterian schools where there
seems to have been continually a close tie between
the church and school. However it has been a big
problem for Kyodan related schools.
Christian Kindergartens and Nursery Schools
According to a report in the Christian Activity
News, April 10, 1964, the total number of kinder
gartens and nursery schools is 8,789. Of these 1,100
are Christian institutions, and 450 are church related
kindergartens. The Christian institutions are con
sidered to be effective arms of the churches in
penetrating into the communities. These Christian
institutions face a crisis because of their inability to
meet newly established govenment standards for build
ing and equipment. They also find it difficult to re
cruit and train Christian teachers. The fact that pastors
act as principals of these institutions, mostly for the
benefit of supplementing their salaries, has provided
the occasion for the Ministry of Education to conduct
a study of the pastor-directors.
Educational Association of Christian Schools
The ninth All Japan University Conference con
vened on December 6-7, 1963 with 46 representatives
from 19 universities. The high school division
sponsored two training courses for high school princi
pals and assistants on September 18-20, 1963 and
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 193
March 3-April 2, 1964 with a total attendance of 195
from 89 schools. The elementary school division
was also active with a teachers' conference on June
27, 1963 and an elementary school principals and
assistants' training course on February 14-15, 1964
with 201 from 108 schools at the former conference
and 18 from 12 schools at the latter. Summer con
ferences were held for Bible teachers with 108 from
63 schools, for teachers in Christian schools with 176
from 54 schools, and a training course for office workers
with 176 from 47 schools. Various conferences were
held in the Kanto, Tohoku-Hokkaido, Kansai and
Seinan districts. The General Conference of all
divisions was held on December 23, 1963 with 103
participants from 66 schools.
The E.A.C.S. also was engaged in a number of
projects. Study projects evaluating the present status
of the Christian schools, as well as individual projects,
were promoted. Besides the minutes of the General
Conference of Elementary School Teachers, the
E.A.C.S. published a monthly newspaper, " Christian
School Education ". Indicative of the evangelistic
concern of the schools was the collection of ¥875,000
from 41 schools for the Christian medical work in
Taiwan.

CONCLUSION
Christian education in Japan in some ways is the
model of the East. To some of its schools Christians
from other Asian countries come to study, and Japa
nese professors can be found teaching in theological
schools outside of Japan. In spite of the high quality
of Christian education, it is continually necessary to
re-examine the fundamental educational philosophy,
policy, and program. In addition to the questions
already raised in the foregoing pages, a few more
demand consideration.
Do church schools exist to convey the Gospel or
do they merely corner the children for an hour in
some formless activity ? Do theological schools re
cognize their responsibility of training pastors who
not only can communicate the Gospel in words and
forms which the ordinary person can understand, but
who also can lead the church educational program ?
One theological school, until recently, had one course
in Christian education — and that one was an elective !
Closely connected is the problem of academic versus
practical theological training. In spite of the encourag
ing changes in curriculum and program, there is need
for a settlement in which the two emphases are
combined to produce a scholarly pastor-evangelist.
Regarding higher education, has the relationship of
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS 195
Christianity to the curriculum being taught received
adequate attention in developing a theology of Christian
education which can be articulated in the classroom ?
Since education in Japan is greatly influenced by the
West, it would seem relevant and applicable to en
courage further study of the problem with the grow
ing number of western scholars who are developing
a theology of education.
These and many more questions face the Christian
educators. The problems in a highly organized tech
nological society are many ; new challenges must be
met each day. However, with firm determination to
pursue quality and a willingness to be lead by the
Spirit of God, the schools can face the future with
growing confidence.

MISSION OF THE CHURCH

CHAPTER 1
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN
George Hays
Probably no country in the world has undergone
more radical changes in the past twenty years than
Japan. With the defeat in the Pacific War came the
collapse of her social hierarchy, the disestablishment
of her State religion, and fearful disillusionment con
cerning her own destiny. To a degree the social
structure has been restored, even in the midst of a
heavy dose of democratization from the outside. A
culture as old and as inborn as that of this nation
could not be summarily cast aside and forgotten.
With remarkable resilience old patterns and ways
persist so that culturally Japan is still a complex web
of relationships borne out of an admixture of the
Shinto outlook on life, Buddhist philosophy, Confucian
ethics, and sealed with the stamp of Japanese in
genuity. The nation is in a period of transition in
which old loyalties, customs and thought patterns are
being called in question and in some instances discard
ed, particularly by the younger generation. Still there
is constant reference to the cultural heritage and this
is what one would expect. The old and the new
exist side by side with no thought of incongruity.
As a popular English language radio program says of
Tokyo, "One can turn the corner and the present
becomes the past."
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 197
Urbanization of Japanese Life
One of the most evident areas of transition is seen
in the rapid urbanization created by the expanding
industrial economy of the nation. To feed the indus
trial machines the farmers, in particular farm youth,
are flocking to the cities. The farm population has
greatly decreased in the past ten years. In the cities
the pattern of housing is changing from the single
dwelling with the shop either over or behind to the
mushrooming apartment houses. This has brought
about a breakdown of the larger family unit whereby
the grandparents made their home with the sons and
daughters. Consequently, filial piety has been strained,
religious ties have been weakened, time honored cus
toms are observed only nominally and there is notice
ably less respect for ancestors on the part of the
younger generation.
Young people coming to the cities lose their stability
in the absence of parental or community supervision.
Often they become lost in the maze of the industrial
city. With no moral roots or fibre there is a growing
problem of juvenile delinquency. Democracy has
brought new freedom but this liberty has been taken
for license by many young people.
City families especially have their problems of
discipline of children. Since the schools do not teach
courses in ethics, as required in prewar Japan, the
responsibility of moral training is left almost entirely
with the family (where it primarily belongs) but
modern Japanese families are not prepared for this
responsibility. Juvenile crimes even among middle
and upper class families are not uncommon, a phe
nomenon rare in prewar Japan because of the com
bination of discipline by the home, the school and the
198 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
community, and the shame emphasis at every level.
Current Mood and Response of Japanese Youth
Western culture continues to have tremendous in
fluence though in general Japanese are becoming
more critical of foreign institutions and thought. This
follows the pattern of previous generations. Greater
movement of Japanese abroad and increased emphasis
upon tourism cause greater commingling of the cultures.
The student exchange programs of the universities,
preparation for the Olympic Games and the desire to
be fully restored to the family of nations are evidences
of deliberate attempts at cultural exchange in spite of
the dangers involved. The main result has been an
accelerated secularism, particularly among the youth
and more particularly in the urban areas.
Having said all of this one sees evidences on every
hand of spiritual unrest, of rootless individuals and
families, of disillusioned persons. One striking evi
dence is the phenomenal growth of the new religions
in the postwar years. Elsewhere in this volume will
be found elaboration of this phenomenon. Suffice it
to say here that Japan's millions are in spiritual need,
many are diligently searching for the answers to life's
complex problems, and others are ready to grab at
any rope thrown to them for salvation.
The Gospel is proclaimed against this cultural and
social background. In a sense the radical changes
during the past twenty years have created the soil
and the climate in which the response to the Gospel
has had its most significant expression in the history
Christian Missions in Japan. Out of the displaced,
disillusioned, rootless, searching youth have come
most of the converts of the past two decades. Where
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN
the religious and cultural ties have grown the weakest
have come the most serious response. Naturally,
there are some notable exceptions but by and large
the harvest has been gleaned from the youth whose
roots were shallow. The immediate postwar years
saw an eager, almost desperate, response to evangelistic
appeals. Generally speaking, approximately ten percent
followed through to baptism and active membership
in the churches. Today the response is not as great
in number but the percentage of those who follow
through is higher. Some have observed that those
who do respond are more mature and stable than the
average in former years.
Evangelistic Concern
There is a continuing and growing concern for evange
lism among both pastors and missionaries and among
the laity. While there are some who appear to be
complacent and willing to let the people come to them,
many Japanese Christians are not satisfied with tke
pace of reception of the Christian faith. After more
than a century of Protestant work only about one
half of one percent of the population are baptized
members of the Protestant churches. Variously esti
mated, since no rolls are kept, several hundred thou
sand more have been attracted to the Christian faith
in the non-Church movement. Still many more have
been influenced by Christian ethical principles. In any
event the rate of increase is not keeping up with the
rate of increase of the population.
One characteristic of the Japanese Church continues
to puzzle the western observer. This is the size of
the majority of local churches, usually from forty to
sixty members with an average attendance in the
MISSION OF THE CHURCH
morning worship service (the service emphasized the
most and most faithfully attended) of forty-one for
United Church churches and slightly more for some
smaller groups. The "number barrier" has become
almost a complex. Some pastors claim they can take
care of only fifty members and therefore are not
interested in a larger congregation. Because the
congregations have traditionally been pastor center
ed groups there is no incentive to go beyond. With
rising costs of living it is becoming more and more
difficult for local churches to support a pastor and his
family when their numbers are small. Consequently,
the result is dependence on subsidies or the pastor is
forced to supplement his income with outside work.
The problem is really one of evangelism, a vision of
a much more extensive ministry, with increased use
lay men and women. Some churches have pioneer
ed in home meetings, a teaching ministry in the
hurch School, and an intensive program of visitation
ave gone beyond the number barrier. Pro-
e pastoral leadership, evangelistic preaching and
a warm hearted congregation are essential ingredients
ot this enlarged ministry.
There is no dearth of methods and programs of
igehsm in Japan. Almost every conceivable meth-
been tried at one time or place. The catalogue
-ides the following: mass evangelism including
tent meetings, street preaching, etc. ; mass
lumcations evangelism including radio, television
vspaper or ad-vangelism, Christian literature of all
>, especially tract distribution, use of audio visual
s etc. ; and evangelism variously designated as
ation, medical, child, labor, rural, student, person
al, music, visitation, lay, church centered, etc.
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 201
United Church of Christ Ten Year Plan
During 1963 there were a number of programs and
methods that have proved to be significant and worth
special mention here. The United Church's Ten Year
Plan of Evangelism was midway in its preparatory
first stage in 1963. The plan has two main emphases :
renewal of the church and larger parish evangelism.
The latter concept moves in the direction of carrying
out a "long range evangelistic plan through one church
in a definite area or through the co-operation of
several churches." It deemphasizes "the old plan of
evangelism, centered in each local church." The Ten
Year Plan is a thoroughly comprehensive program
designed to lay the responsibility of evangelism on the
initiative of each church and on the Kyoku (district
organizational division) . A detailed Evangelism Com
mittee Handbook became available in March 1963.
'L-Type Evangelism*
This plan, inaugurated by Dr. Lawrence Lacour,
and now operated under Kyodan auspices, provides
for an annual visitation of a team of ministers from
the United States and Canada during the summer
months. In 1963 the team consisted of fourteen minis
ters and seven wives. They were assigned to fifteen
evangelistic centers throughout Hokkaido, where for
a period of 50 days they lived in Japanese style, being
accommodated in the homes of pastors, lay people
and Japanese inns, with each accompanied by a suita
ble interpreter. Many of the churches were located
in depressed mining areas where there was much e-
conomic and spiritual distress among the people
affected. By the end of the summer church attendance
202 MISSION OF THE CHRUCH
was doubled, there were 22 baptisms, 121 under prepa
ration for baptism, 897 seekers who had come forward
in the meetings, and local churches were blessed with
other fruitful results, especially with new evangelistic
zeal.
Evangelistic Campaigns and Crusades
One of the most massive and extensive evangelistic
campaigns of the postwar period was the Japan Baptist
Convention's New Life Movement in the spring of
1963. Much of the organizational format and purpose
was delineated in the 1963 volume of the Christian
Year Book and the campaign itself is treated in Section
II of the 1964 volume in connection with the report of
the Baptist Churches. This campaign was unique in
that it involved the active participation of at least six
hundred ministers and laymen from the United States
who came to Japan at their own expense to give their
Christian witness.
Mention should also be made of the inter-denomi
national city-wide evangelist crusade efforts of the
Rev. Koji Honda and his associates, which have been
held in many of the Japanese cities. Through these
mass meetings, held in the largest auditoriums availa
ble, the unsaved have received a Christian witness
and new converts have been added to the churches,
which have cooperated in the systematic follow-up.
All churches and pastors are invited to participate on
condition that they accept "the Bible as the fully
inspired infallible Word of God, the only rule of faith
and practice". Such interdenominational mass evange
lism demonstrates the essential unity of the churches,
contributes to closer Christian fellowship, and enlists
laymen in a more active Gospel witness.
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 203
Not only public auditoriums but large tents are used
for pioneer mass evangelism, especially in the rural
area where there are 45,000 villages with little Chris
tian witness. A tested technique is to invite the
children of the village for a special meeting from
about four to five o'clock in the afternoon. When
the children are sent home they take Gospel tracts
and invitations to evening meetings for adults only or
for high school young people. A clean, white, well-
lighted tent in the summertime is an invitation to
many to forsake their TV sets, get out into the
fresh air, and hear about the Christian faith for the
first time.
Literature and Ad-vangelism
Because of Japan's high rate of literacy, the wide
spread distribution of Christian literature is an effective
method of seed sowing evangelism, not to mention
the nurture of believers in the faith. For example,
the Every Home Crusade which aims to give suitable
Gospel tracts to every family in Japan, has completed
70% of the second phase of vthis program, which has
enlisted the cooperation of the churches. This has
involved the distribution of 36 million items. Re
sponses have averaged one thousand a month and have
totaled about 90 thousand to date. Those who re
spond are given further Christian guidance through
literature and are enrolled in a Bible correspondence
course. Each seeker is introduced to a suitable church
and the pastor is urged to make a personal contact.
Newspaper or Ad-rangelism has for many years been
a fruitful medium for the introduction of the Gospel
to Japanese homes. The Gospel -acl in a newspaper
repeatedly calls the attention of the readers to the
204 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Gospel message. Interested inquirers are encouraged
to communicate with Christian workers, who are
glad to answer their questions, furnish them with
literature suited to their needs, enroll them in corre
spondence Bible study, and introduce each to the
nearest church.
Olympics Evangelism
For the first time in the history of Olympic com
petition an Asian city has been chosen as the site of
an Olympiad. The Japanese nation has not taken
this responsibility lightly and Tokyo has engaged in
massive building operations in order to be fully prepar
ed for this great event. The Christian churches have
also been mindful of their responsibility and plans
are under way to provide adequate worship opportuni
ties for the many foreign guests, and services in a
number of foreign languages will be available in
various local churches, where special evangelistic servi
ces will also be held.
The various Christian agencies are also preparing to
buy up the evangelistic opportunity which the occasion
will afford. Publishers of Christian literature are
making elaborate plans to publish suitable Scripture
portions and tracts for widespread distribution. For
example, twenty four laymen of one group are coming
from the U. S. to conduct an "Olympic Crusade",
equipped with 2 million Japanese tracts and gospels.
It is estimated that a total of at least 20 million tracts
and gospels are being printed for distribution in Japan
at the time of the Olympiad.
Evangelist Koji Honda will conduct an Olympic
Crusade in Tokyo, September 7-11, 1964. This is
only one of a number of evangelistic campaigns which
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 205
are being conducted during this year.
The Layman as Evangelist
Probably no more significant development can be
cited than the emphasis upon training and using the
laymen in evangelism. Churches are discovering two
important things about their ministry. One is that
the number of people who voluntarily come to the
church is small. In the second place if the church
is to reach any person he must be reached where he
lives or where he works. Moreover, the laymen of
the church need the spiritual experience and blessing
of witnessing in their occupations. One missionary
evangelist, a Navigator, (Hugh Harris), who has
had an effective ministry in this area writes : "Japan
has taken her place as a leading nation in the
world of trade and manufacturing. It is the busi
ness man who is to a large extent responsible for
the realization of the phenomenal change which has
come about in the postwar years. Caught up in the
desperate world of business pressure and compromise
the average man, whether executive, office worker,
or factory hand, has little time to give serious thought
to God or things spiritual. Baffled at the church's
seeming preoccupation with theology and philosophy,
the man in business finds little help for his personal
problems. So across the lunch table, in the coffee
shop, at the office or factory, in the home, we seek
to present Jesus Christ as the one redeeming,
unchangeable factor in a world of change and flux.
Through personal contact and in small group fellow
ships Christians are encouraged to demonstrate the
reality and relevancy of Jesus to the needs of man.
Opportunities for ministry are created either with in-
206 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
dividuals or on the group level, thus giving the
Christian a chance to express his faith in practical
terms to those who may be interested and seeking."
Closely allied with the foregoing is the increasing
witness of layman in industry. One who has had
deep concern and wide experience in this field writes
as follows: "The basic principle in evangelism in
this area is that it is the Christian, in the factory,
in the housing project, in the bank or office, in the
railway workers' or any other union, that is the evangel
ist, 'he who shows forth the joy that is in him for
knowing Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.'
It is on this principle that the numerous Bible
Classes or Study Groups meet every week in factories
and offices all over the land. Christian business men
meet for week-day prayer sessions ; Christians in
specific work situations meet together for encourage
ment in making their witness in difficult places, as
for example, Christians in labor union leadership
positions, Christians who are numbers of the Diet,
Christians in public school teaching, etc. However,
the evangelism that is most effective and permanent
is that which contributes to the establishment of active
local churches. A new Christian requires the fellow
ship of his brothers and sisters in Christ and all
Christians need the warmth and encouragement of
their colleagues for their own growth, for witness
and for the building up of the Body of Christ.
Developments in Training for Evangelism
Child Evangelism Institute
Capitalizing on the fact that 60% of the world's
converts are children, with 30% adolescents and only
10% adults, the Japan Child Evangelism Fellow
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 207
ship, as elsewhere, has taken the lead in the promo
tion of this kind of evangelism. The new Child
Evangelism Institute gives training in ''How to evangel
ize children. . . . how to teach others to evangelize
children. . . . and how to organize and supervise the
over-all program of evangelism of children on the
local field." A new program called "The Weekday
Home Bible Class Movement" provides an opportunity
for active Christians to have a part in evangelizing
children by opening their homes and teaching in
neighborhood classes. Such home classes "Provide
an informal environment and effectively bridge the
gulf of parental indifference while escaping the barrier
of religions prejudice". Unchurched are directed into
nearby Sunday Schools. Through the child, entrance
is often gained into the heart and home of parents.
In fact the child's own witness often results in bring
ing the parents to Christ.
Evangelism Seminars
The 2 nd Annual All-Japan Evangelism Seminar
was held for three days at the Kobe Central Church,
October 8 to 10, 1963, with 300 workers of various
denominations in attendance. Some 25 speakers direct
ed the consideration of the various phases of evange
lism. The next seminar will be the "Asian Congress
on Evangelism" held in connection with the Tokyo
Olympic Crusade, September 5-13 in the Bunkyo Ku
auditorium.

CHAFFER 2
RADIO AND TELEVISION EVANGELISM
Willam Hulet
Mass communication in Japan via airways is of such
extreme importance that the Government maintains
strict control of the approvals for transmitting facilities.
Though the individual programs may vary greatly
both in content and in degree of technical excellence
of preparation, the government allows the Commercial
Station management great latitude in their use of
material. Thus while Christian Broadcasting by Chris
tian agencies is not easily financed the door is open
to a broad use of contracted time on commercial Sta
tions.
Total religious broadcasts include Protestant, Ca
tholic, Buddhist, New Religions and Shinto. The
chart below indicates the percentage of the total re
ligious broadcast week used by these five groups.
From this it is
quite obvious that
the major portion
of the religious
broadcast week is
being used by the
Christian forces.
There are at least
nineteen sponsors
for the Protestant
broadcasts. These
are widely repre
sentative of the
Shinto 2: 35 hours 3.15?s
EVANGELISM IN JAPAN 209
various church and mission agencies in Japan at this
time. Some of these have plans to increase their out
lets during at least a part of the Olympic year.
Protestant broadcasts can be heard in some measure
in all areas of Japan. The direct Gospel presentation
as used by Rev. Akira Hitori in the programs Yo No
Hikari and Ikoi No Mado have brought in excellent
responses. The 1963 count by Pacific Broadcasting
Association reveals that these two programs average
309 new contacts per month. These programs are on
88 of Japan's commercial stations.
Christian drama presentations vary from Biblical
accounts to those based on life testimonies of Japanese
Christians. The Luthern Center and AVACO major
in this format for programs. Mr. Mathew Ogawa of
AVACO writes, "Ever since the program ulitizing
the real testimony of Christians was produced the re
sponse has increased greatly." They receive approxi
mately 1,500 mail responses per month to this type of
broadcast.
Spanning Japan from HOREMCO in Hokkaido, a
young aggressive organization, to the Reformed Church
in Fukuoka, an established well organized broadcast
ministry, there is the use of multiple plans for effective
follow-up. Pastoral calls, Gospel portions, corre
spondence study courses, circulating library books, are
but a few of the diverse forms of follow-up which
are proving most successful.
The Luthern Hour, with a long background of thir
teen years experience in Japan, gives valuable illustra
tion of the effectiveness of broadcasts when combined
with adequate follow-up. The first broadcast brought
responses from 35 listeners but now thirteen years
later each broadcast averages more than 750 requests
for the Bible Correspondence Course, 1954 marked
oiO MISSION OF THE CHURCH
a new development with the offering of a Braille
edition of the Bible Course, with more than 5,000
having studied of Christ during the past decade. The
records of the thirteen years further reveal that more
than 400,000 have studied the Correspondence
Course with 40,000 having completed the entire course.
This broadcast has distributed more than 90,000 New
Testaments.
Challenging also is the report of Rev. James A.
McAlpine of the Japan Mission of the Presbyterian
Church in the US. This program which started in
late 1952 and is aired weekly has definite reported
baptisms equal to the membership of from 3 to 4
average size churches in Japan! In addition there are
many hearers who have affiliated themselves with
other Christian groups.
A special audience program which has had an ex
cellent response is called "Children of Light" and is1
directed to children. Produced by P. B. A. this
program has used a childrens choir and an appeal
for the Children to enroll in a special Bible course.
The use of basic program content with ''plugs" to
attract local attention and interest is used widely. P.
B. A. thus produces a basic package program for a
number of sponsors over the Nation. The addition
of the local announcements, and contact points, enables
various sponsors to have a local broadcast of high
program standards with a minimum of expense.
The actual securing of radio time, advantageous
hours, and the Public Relations involved in such tran-
sations is another arm of the PBA activity. Their
work in this area not only aids in the procurement of
contracts for time, but also may enable the broadcaster
to secure a reduced price for air time.
The Far East Broadcasting Company receives, in
MVANGELISM IN JAPAN 2ll
their Tokyo office, almost all the Japanese language
programs and airs them across the Nation via short
wave each evening. The major audience for these
broadcasts is among the University group. Propaga
tion effectiveness through shortwave radio channels
varies greatly with the atmospheric changes. How
ever, there has been a consistently excellent reception
of these Japanese language programs in Brazil. Thus
the radio Broadcasting departments of the various
groups in Japan are actually sending the message of
Christ around the world. These programs are also
relayed to Okinawa where they are aired over K. S.
D. X., the Far East Broadcasting Company Japanese
language station.
Television has not been as much exploited as the
radio. AVACO and P. B. A. have worked on the
basis of special seasonal or series telecasts such as
AVACO's Christmas Eve Candle Service. Fifteen of
the 53 telecasts on the "Religious Hour' were broad
cast by AVACO. These have consistently brought a
larger audience response than has radio in the same
area of audience potential. Yet it should be under
stood that frequently the "mail pull" on TV has been
of a more attractive type than that used on radio.
Telecasts have not as yet been as consistent in use as
the radio. The actual figures do show that the re
sponse to TV so far in 1964 has been substantially
better than in 1963.
The Broadcasting field has another valuable associ
ated ministry. The use of records both for teaching
and for quality music has been increasingly developed
during the past fiscal year. The Pacific Broadcasting
Association has established a department for "Hikari
Records' which has distributed 3,500 records in one
year. The Ilikari records are provided by Gospel
v1:> MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Recordings, Inc. They play seven minutes to a side
and include music, personal testimony, and a message
by Rev. Akira Hatori in the series of three records.
The International Family Records organization
which is represented by Far East Broadcasting Com
pany has produced an LP record of Christian Music
utilizing a Japanese Conductor working with Japanese
arrangers and artists. This record is having an ex
cellent reception.
Audio-visual Evangelism
Such agencies as AVACO, the New Life League,
and TEAM-AVID are also engaged in the production
and distribution of audio-visual aid materials which
are widely used in the churches of Japan. Such
materials as Christian movie films, slides, filmstrips,
tapes, "kamishibai" (picture story cards), flannelgraph
materials and so on are available for rental or sale ;
with projection equipment available for loan to church
es and other Christian institutions. AVACO also
conducts workshops and seminars for the training of
people in the various aspects of the production and
use of audio-visual aids as an important adjunct of
religious education and evangelism. This training
program includes the publication of manuals which
explain the use of AV materials in church school
teaching and evangelism. More than 3,000 copies
were sold in 1963. During the year, AVACO expand
ed its services to other Asian countries, with the Asia
office, located in the AVACO building, processing
the many orders for audiovisual aids and equipment.
Some additional account of evangelistic activities
in Japan will be found in other articles of the Japan
Christian Year Book.
CHAPTER 3
OVERSEAS MISSION
Chuzo Yamada
World War II has had a very deep effect upon
the sending of people out from Japan to other Asian
countries. First of all, Japan was considered an
enemy country and missionaries had not heen readily
welcomed. Secondly, militarism and the war had
its effect upon the strength of the church within
Japan. Thirdly, the economy of Japan has been such
that it was difficult to send anyone out of the country.
But now these situations have changed.
Through the assistance of the East Asia Christian
Conference, the individual churches of the Asian
nations have become aware of each other and of the
common problems which they face. National political
differences have improved considerably since the end
of the war. Also the church in Japan even though
it is not yet large, has been considerably strengthened
as compared with its prewar condition. Therefore
we are moving into a new age of possibilities.
Requests have come from churches in Asia to the
church in Japan asking for personal assistance. Some
missionaries have already been sent out from Japan.
However in all fairness we must say that the church
in Japan does not yet have the deep soul winning
passion, or the thoroughgoing spirit of self sacrifice
desirable in a mission-minded cnurch.
United Church of Christ in Japan's Commission of Over
seas Evangelism
Within the framework of the United Church this
214 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Commission has just recently achieved its present
status. At first its policy was to meet the requests
to undertake evangelism among Japanese overseas
residents. However, now this situation has changed,
and the Commission endeavors to send missionaries
wherever there is a need expressed, regardless of
denomination, or national origin.
1. During the past year the chairman of this Com
mission, Gosaku Okada, has made trips to Okinawa,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand. This represents
a very significant development in the work of the
Commission.
2. March 8-11, 1963, eighty-five Christian leaders
of Asia met for four days at the Baptist conference
center, Amagisan-so, under the auspices of the East
Asia Christian Council to discuss the problems of
East Asia and means for better co-ordination of the
activities of Christian churches and other agencies.
During this Conference, a representative of the Presby
terian Church of Taiwan met with the Commission
and the possibility of mutual assistance was discussed.
An agreement was drawn up regarding the possibil
ities of exchange of personnel and this agreement has
been approved by the General Assembly of the Taiwan
Church.
3. During the past year three new missionaries
have been sent from Japan.
a. The Rev. and Mrs. Hiraku Iwai have been
sent to a congregation of the United Church
of Canada at Alberta in May, 1963.
b. Miss Nobuko Minami has been sent to
Kenya, Africa to teach in a Kindergarten
Training School for one year. She is the
head of the Hokuriku Girls School Kinder
garten Training Department.
OVERSEAS MISSION 215
c. The Rev. and Mrs. Kunichi Hanamori have
been sent to Bolivia in South America.
They go with the object of doing evange
lism and establishing a school among the
Okinawan emigrants there. They left Japan
in February of 1964.
4. Three missionaries have completed their as
signments and have returned to Japan.
a. Mr. Kenzo Yoshida has returned from Alla
habad, India where he has been teaching
in the Agricultural Institute for the past
three years.
b. The Rev. and Mrs. Masaaki Nakajima have
returned from Westfield Presbyterian Church
New Jersey, USA, where he served as as
sociate pastor.
c. The Rev. Kaoru Yamashiro has been in
Okinawa for the past three years as a
pastor of a congregation.
This leaves some fifteen pastors and theological
teachers still serving overseas.
5. As a part of the work of this Commission
students from Korea have received scholarships to
study to Japan.
6. ¥3,947,733 was contributed for the overseas
mission in 1963.
The Japan Evangelical Lutheran Church
For the first time in its history the Lutheran Church
in Japan is sending a missionary from its ranks to a
foreign country. An Overseas Kvangelism Committee
had been established in 1964 by the church with a
view to projecting a ten year program.
a. The Rev. and Mrs. Hiroshi Fujii left Japan
216 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
in June of 1964 for Brazil. They will serve
as evangelistic missionaries under the Lu
theran Church in Brazil. Though they will
undoubtedly work among Japanese emi
grants they will not confine their efforts to
this people alone.
It is the plan of the Lutheran Church to send three
more missionary families to Brazil over the next ten
years.
Japan Baptist Convention
Following many years of prayer and preparation
the Japan Baptist Convention officially determined at
its 1963 Annual Convention to undertake its second
venture in overseas mission, the first being Okinawa.
The Rev. and Mrs. Nobuyoshi Togami were appointed
for service in Brazil, and after further education in
the United States will be located at Sao Paulo.
Baptist Union Hong Kong Conference
The Hong Kong World Conference of Mission of
the Baptist Union, sponsored by the American Board,
was held in Hong Kong from December 26, 1963 to
January 7, 1964. There were 59 participants from
11 places including North and South India, Japan,
Okinawa, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand and
West Congo. From Japan seven persons, of whom
five were delegates and two observers, were pre
sent at the assembly. They were the Rev. Masa-
yuki Sawano, General Secretary of the Union, the
Rev. Noah Brannen, missionary and field secretary,
the Rev. Hisayoshi Saito, chairman of the Executive
Board, the Rev. Yoshio Taisho, Chairman of the
Youth Division, Mrs. Ayako Hino, Chairman for
OVERSEAS MISSION 217
Asia and Vice-Chairman of the Assembly, and the
two observers.
At the conference the Reverend Mr. Saito gave his
witness in a talk on, "How can we show our faith
to the people in the world."
The Japan Christian Medical Association
This is an inter-denominational organization. It was
begun shortly after World War II by Christian doctors
and nurses who wished to aid the peoples in Southeast
Asia. Since that time it has been sending medical
doctors and nurses to countries where they have been
needed. It has also been offering the opportunity for
East Asian doctors to receive a scholarship for study
for a period of up to one year. At present it has
twelve doctors and nurses altogether in the Philippines,
Nepal, Indonesia and Taiwan.
a. Dr. Kyuya Tamura has been sent to Indo
nesia to assist in a hospital there.
b. Dr. Noboru Nomura has recently returned
to Japan. He intends to resign his position
in the University here and return on a
permanent basis to Nepal.
In the past year Japanese doctors in Taiwan joined
together with Taiwanese doctors to carry out an itiner
ant medical mission. They went into remote areas
in order to give medical examination and treatment
to local residents without such facilities.
Association for Relief of Leprosy in Asia
The rather newly organized Japan Leprosy Mission
has taken for its first project the raising of fifty
million yen ($ 140,000) for the erection of a hospital
in Northern India ; for which purpose the Telipars
218 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Cooperative Farm Society has donated 400 acres of
land. Starting as a clinic this is being developed
into a 100 bed hospital, equipped to handle a thousand
out-patients a day.
The association also hopes to extend aid to other
Asian countries, including Burma, Pakistan, Indonesia
and Thailand. A goal of 150 million yen has been
set to be raised in three years through public donations.
The central figure in this medical mission enterprise
is Dr. Matsunori Miyazaki, a member of the Kyodan
Shirakawa Church in Kumamoto ; a city long associ
ated with the home for lepers established by Miss
H. Riddell of the Anglican Church.
Overseas Work of Other Japanese Societies
The World Service Program of the Y. M. C. A.
provides for the exchange of workers between coun
tries. Three secretaries have been sent abroad by the
Japan, "Y", including Kazuo Yamada who went to
Peru in 1963 as a fraternal secretary.
Japanese Evangelical Overseas Mission is an inter-
church agency which has been acting in a liaison
capacity in the sending of itinerant evangelists to such
countries as Formosa, the Philippines, Australia and
New Zealand. It is apparently not the purpose of
this group to establish permanent missions in other
countries. Reiji Oyama was sent to Korea in De
cember of 1963 and remained there for one month.
Miss Hisako Hotta was sent to Formosa in May of
1964 as an evangelist. Oftentimes missionaries have
gone forth in order to foster better fraternal relations
between Asiatic churches.
The Japan Alliance Church has been supporting a
lady missionary, Miss Mitsuko Ninomiya, in Brazil dur-
OVERSEAS MISSION 219
ing the past five years. She is carrying on work both for
Brazilians and Japanese immigrants, and has been in
strumental in establishing churches and a school for
Brazilian children. A recent graduate of the Alliance
Bible School, will join her this year.
The Japan Holiness Church, with which the Ori
ental Missionary Society is affiliated, has been support
ing four missionaries, a couple and two single women,
for work in Okinawa and Brazil.
The Immanuel General Mission has sent three
students to the Yeotmal Biblical Seminary (Wesleyan
Mission) , two for the full course, in order to quicken
their interest and enthusiasm for missionary work.
They have actually engaged in evangelistic work dur
ing their spare time, and it is hoped that they will
later accept permanent assignments in this land.
The Evangelical Free Church of Japan has sent
Miss Sumie Yokouchi to Malaysia as an evangelist,
and also have a worker in Okinawa.
The Pacific Broadcasting Association has furnished
two Japanese radio specialists for the great Latin-
American station at Quito, Ecuador, which is operated
by the World Radio Missionary Fellowship.
A Chinese Mission in Formosa is utilizing the
services of Miss Toshiko Suzuki as an evangelist
among Japanese speaking people, although her support
comes from churches in Japan. She will soon be
joined by Miss Keiko Kobayashi. Both are graduates
of the Japan Christian College, from which four mis
sionaries have gone out in recent years.
It is reliably reported that move than fifty Japanese
missionaries are now serving overseas. This does not
include those who are serving under the auspices of
mission boards of Western churches.
CHAPTER 4
CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS IN 1963
According to reliable estimates, Japan has more
publishers, and the amount of printed matter produced
is greater than any nation in the world. Indeed, Japan
ranks very high in the number of books and magazines
produced and boasts newspapers with the largest circu
lation in the world. Such prodigious literary produc
tion is based on a high degree of literacy and a very
avid reading public. Thus Christian literature is al
ways in keen competition, not only with a great variety
of general publications, but especially with those of
numerous religious sects. Furthermore, if Christian
books, periodicals and tracts are to appeal to the a-
verage reader, they must conform to high standards
of literary quality and format.
By and large, the Japanese people are conservative
in nature, quite unobtrusive and prone to utilize the
indirect approach. Thus they are not so readily re
sponsive to the Western type of direct and open ap
peal. Communists and other subversive propagandists
have taken advantage of this fact and utilize the printed
page far more than more direct methods. It is for
this reason, too, that Christian literature of high qua
lity has strategic importance in Japan. Indeed, it is
the chief instrument of evangelism and Christian nur
ture or Church building. As Christian publishers seek
to expand the circulation of the various types of litera
ture, they are confronted with the sharp rise in pro
duction costs, such as for typesetting, printing, paper
and binding, which have contributed to an increase
in the price of books. Thus as long as the reading
CHRISTIAN PUBLICATION 221
public is somewhat limited, with considerable free
distribution in connection with evangelistic efforts,
subsidies from abroad will have to be continued.
The following reports of the Christian Publishers
Association and the Evangelical Publishers and Distri
bution Fellowship give the main facts of Christian
publication in Japan during 1963.
CHRISTIAN PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION
MAJOR REFERENCE WORKS PRODUCED
Shiro Aoyania
There are six major Christian publishers in Japan
associated with the Christian Publishers Association
(Kirisutokyo Kyoryoku Kai) , which had its beginning
within the NCC. During 1963, these six publishers
report a total of 128 new titles printed and 191 reprint
editions, approximately the same as for 1962 when
137 new titles and 169 reprints were reported.
The largest publishing program among Christian pub
lishers, in terms of the number of titles released, was
that of the Protestant Publishing Company which re
corded 35 new titles and 72 reprints in 1963, compared
with 37 new and 84 reprint editions during 1962. The
other five publishers report the following totals for 1963
(1962 figures in brackets) :
New Titles Reprints
Nihon Kirisuto Kyodan 33 (32) 60 (52)
Kyo Bun Kan 22 (32) 18 (14)
Seibun Sha (Lutheran) 17 (17) 10 (7)
Kirisuto Shimbun Sha 17 (18) 3 (4)
Y. M. C. A. 5 (1) 15 (8)
It is significant to note that these titles ran to a
222 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
total of approximately 460,000 books, both in 1963
and in 1962, not including the NK Kyodan's Sambika
(Hymnal) which totals about 130,000 volumes
annually.
Among the most outstanding titles published by
these six publishers in recent months have been :
The Works of John Calvin
The Works of Toyohiko Kagawa
An Encyclopedia of Christianity
The Writings of Uchimura Kanzo
The Works of John Wesley
The Works of Martin Luther
That such significant reference works as these have
been produced recently in Japanese is one of the especial
ly notable features of Christian publishing. This indi
cates, as well, that rather than seeking some new
theology or new pattern of thought the Church of
Japan is calling for basic works to meet its needs.
As a general pattern, Bible Reference Works and
commentaries have been well received, but along with
them it is noteworthy that books on prayer have been
widely called for too.
Another outstanding feature of Christian publishing
in Japan has been the increased appearance of con
venient, pocket-size publications in the popular " shin-
sho ban " size. Aside from the major works published,
a majority of other titles would fall into this category.
It is reported that the Protestant Publishing Com
pany's " Shinkyo Shinsho " series will soon be brought
up to 100 titles.
We wonder if it is not the great influence of the
weekly magazines, television and radio, with their
convenience and ready accessibility, which has created
this considerable appetite for convenient reading ma
terials.
CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS 223
The Japan Bible Society saw its most successful
year in 1963, with 3,117,656 Bibles, Testaments and
Scripture portions distributed throughout Japan, com
pared with 2,762,375 for 1962. This increase in dis
tribution was doubtless due to more effective circula
tion through both Christian and secular book stores,
improved communications with the branch offices and
depots, the expansion of the colportage program, and
the increase in cooperation of the Churches in selling
Bibles and Scripture portions.
It was an especially historic occasion when on De
cember 9, 1963 two thousand Bibles were presented
to Buddhist leaders for distribution to leading priests,
through the sponsorship of the Bible Society of Den
mark.
As part of the United Bible Society's expanded
program under the title, " God's Word for a New
Age," the Japan Bible Society aims to distribute
4,630,000 Scriptures in 1964; 5,880,000 in 1965; and
7,700,000 in 1966.
The Gideons, with support both from abroad and
from Japan, have been concentrating on the distribu
tion of bilingual New Testaments among high school
students, and thus have taken advantage of the fact
that English is the second language of Japan. The
Gideons distributed 183,500 Bibles during the year,
and now with the full-time services of a field secretary
this work will also be expanded.
The literature committee of the NCC has set up
two study commissions in the publishing and distribu
tion field, and these have recently completed a funda
mental review of the Christian literature distribution
picture in Japan.
One of their surveys indicates the average monthly
sales totals of Christian book stores (in 1962) to be
224 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
approximately 13,905,000 yen, or 166,860,000 yen a
year — a significant total indeed. Of this amount,
roughly 20% is made up of Bibles and a further 10%
of hymnals. This survey lists a total of 69 Christian
hook stores, scattered in 43 cities throughout Japan.
A notable recommendation of this NCC study com
mission was that a new distribution center be created
to handle the wholesaling of all Christian literature.
Influenced by the atmosphere created by these re
ports, Kyo Bun Kan in April, 1964 established a
separate wholesale department and began a program
of wholesaling Christian literature. Seibun Sha (Luth
eran) has been wholesaling to stores in the Kansai
area and in the western portion of Japan, and is now
extending its wholesaling activities to the east as well.
The management of Christian book stores in Japan
has proved to be a most difficult task. However, at
least three stores have been set up recently on a self-
sustaining basis — the Seibun Sha in Kobe, the Seibun
Sha in Nagoya, and the Osaka Kirisutokyo Shoten.
Not only have these stores been put on a solid footing,
but during 1963 they were able to produce a margin
of profit.
This is a development which points up good pro
spects and great hopes for the future of management
of Christian book stores in Japan.
CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS 225
THE EVANGELICAL PUBLISHERS AND
DISTRIBUTORS FELLOWSHIP
SIGNFICANT INCREASES IN 1963
Kenneth McVety
Fourteen Christian publishers and about 30 Christian
book stores throughout Japan have been banded to
gether since 1951 in what is known as The Evangel
ical Publishers and Distributors Fellowship (Fukuin
Shuppan Hambai Kyoryoku Kai) . These publishers,
two of whom are also members of the Christian Pub
lishers Association (see * in list below) , report for
1963 a total of 58 new titles and 101 reprint editions,
compared with 62 new and 39 reprint editions in
1962 — an increase of just over 40%.
In terms of volumes produced, these FPDF related
publishers report even greater increase in 1963 — a total
of 430,000 books, more than double the 170,000 total
for 1962. This is in addition to the " Seika " Hym
nal, produced by Word of Life Press, which has been
averaging 15—20,000 copies a year.
It should be noted, however, that relatively few of
the titles represented in these totals are major reference
works. Though a number of sizeable volumes such
as Seisho Tosho's Commentary Series and Word of
Life Press' Bible Dictionary are included, a fairly
heavy proportion of these titles would fall in the areas
of evangelistic and devotional reading, and would cor
respondingly be smaller in size, averaging perhaps 200
to 300 pages.
Among these 14 publishers, the largest program is
reported by Word of Life Press (TEAM) , followed by
Seisho Tosho Kankokai (Conservative Baptist) and
226 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Jordan Press (Southern Baptist) . The number of new
and reprint editions published during 1963, with 1962
figures in brackets, is as follows :
New Titles Reprints
Word of Life Press 29 (20) 60 (32)
Jordan Press* 8 (5) 13 (5)
Seisho Tosho 7 (3) 9 (8)
Evangelistic Publishing Depot 2 (3) 2 (4)
Buxton Memorial Publications* 2 (2) 4 (4)
Kirisuto Sha Gakusei Kai 3 (1) 2 (4)
Others 9 (7) 6 (7)
Totals 60 (41) 99 (64)
The eight publishers grouped together and reporting
smaller programs for 1963 are, Christian Literature
Crusade, Assemblies of God, Japan Sunday School
Union (excluding Sunday School materials), Evange
lical Publishing Association, Immanuel Missions, Na-
zarene Publishing Department, Morikeisen Publications
and Scripture Union.
Undoubtedly the most widely received of these pub
lications were Bible Commentaries by Yutaka Yoneda
(New Testament) and Kuniji Oye (New Testament
& Psalms), both published by Word of Life Press.
The newly launched "KGK Shinsho Series " made
a good beginning with C. S. Lewis', " Beyond Per
sonality " finding an especially good reception.
Generally speaking, the call for popular or family-
type publications has become especially pronounced,
as reflected in these publishing programs. Titles es
pecially geared to women readers (" God in My Kit
chen"), daily devotional readings, and biographical
sketches ("1 Met God in Soviet Russia ", CLC) have
all met with an enthusiastic response. In this category
WLP reports a particularly good sale for its 15 title,
¥100 "Faith Series".
Of particular note has been the appearance of a new
CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS 227
committee translation of the Gospel of John. This
was released late in 1963 as the first published portion
of a full scale Bible translation currently being un
dertaken by the New Japanese Bible Commission and
scheduled for completion in 1964 (New Testament)
and 1966 (Old Testament).
This New Japanese Bible, is being translated under
the direction of a seven man editorial board and a
staff of 29 translators and advisors, all men of con
servative, evangelical conviction. The committee's an
nounced purpose is to produce a translation that is :
1. True to the original Greek and Hebrew texts.
2. In the best contemporary Japanese, fully under
standable to the masses.
3. Faithful in giving the Lord Jesus Christ His
rightful place.
When completed, the production and distribution of
this New Japanese Bible will be undertaken by Word
of Life Press.
In the general constituency of EPDF are about 40
bookstores, all of them new since the war and 9 of
them making their appearance within the past two
years. The largest of these new stores is WLP's Life
Center in Tokyo, with the Yokohama Christian Book
store (TEAM) , Miyazaki Fukuin Shoten (Mennonite) ,
Hirosaki Fukuin Shoten (OMF) and several Christian
Literature Crusade stores, making particularly marked
advance.
Reflecting in large part the rapidly expanding and
significantly deepening work flowing from the nume
rous faith missions and many smaller denominational
missions, the publishers and booksellers of EPDF re
port aggressive plans for still further advance and in
dicate considerable confidence for the future of Chris
tian literature in Japan.
CHAPTER 5
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE
I
The Relationship of the Church and Social Welfare
William Billow
Background for this article comes from reports of
the YMCA Social Welfare Committee ; the Japan
Christian Social Welfare League ; the United Church
of Christ Social Welfare Committee ; the Mulheim
Consultation, Theme : (The Role of the Churches in
Social Welfare, An International Perspective) , spon
sored by the World Council of Churches Department
of Studies and Division of Inter-Church Aid, Refugee
and World Service ; and limited personal experience
in the field of Christian Social Welfare.
A report on Christian Social Welfare in Japan could
include statistics and descriptions of various programs.
These, by and large, are in the areas of child care,
care for the aged, care for widows and their children,
settlement houses, rehabilitation of the handicapped,
care of the blind and deaf, rehabilitation homes and
reformatories, and social work hospitals and clinics.
The auditors of our several institutions go over our
reports, financial and program, and pass them on to the
church. The goverment sends in its own auditors
and they in turn pass the reports on to the powers
that be. These reports are appropriate in their place
and a necessary function of our established welfare
programs. In this article there is not space for all
the reports and statistics that could be presented.
Let us rather look a bit more deeply into the question
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE 229
which is on the lips of churchmen and social work
specialists alike, that is, the question of the relation
ship of the church and social welfare.
Government Take Over of Social Welfare Work
Christian social welfare workers from the smallest
and youngest institution in Japan to the largest and
oldest institution in Europe or America are asking
the same question today : ' What should be the rela
tionship of the church and social welfare in the world
today ?' The oldest social welfare programs begun
by Christians were the work of one or a small group
which later in varying degrees have become the pro
grams of the church. Social work in Japan today has
the same history. The saying that one man can start
a revolution seems an appropo description of Christian
social welfare. Programs started by one person are
supported at first by a few friends and later by the
church. Once perfected the programs have been
taken over by the state. There is no real problem
in this sequence if the various stages of development
have been planned. We should add that take over
of social welfare programs does not always mean a
take over of the Christian pioneer institutions. Today
in Japan we hear the rumor that if the private (mostly
'church supported') social welfare institutions do not
take up the responsibility for improving their facilities,
the government will step in. Christian workers are
naturally concerned over the future of the Christian
institutions.
It is the perfected programs of social welfare which
could go to the state through planning by the church.
Perhaps no churchman would be unhappy if it were
the programs alone which were taken over. If our
230 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
vested interests in property were in no way threatened
there might be no question of the support and ex
istence of Christian social welfare institutions. In
Japan thus far, only our programs have been taken
over by the government ; and it seems that our insti
tutions with their government relationships will remain
intact if the church will only give them more adequate
support — financial, that is. The problem of facilities
is important and is a prime cause for asking the
bigger question about church and social welfare rela
tionship.
Responsibility of the Church in the Development of Social
Welfare Work
Mr. Shiro Abe, Director of the Yokosuka Christian
Center, presented a paper at the Mulheim Consulta
tion which comes face to face with this question.
He ends his paper with these words: "The relation
ship between the Church and social work is based on
the broad implications of the Church's mission for
diakonia, which means that the Church should be
involved in direct social work in the days to come."
This conclusion is based on the premises: 1) "We
have to decide what position Christian social work
should take in the national scheme." and 2) "Social
work has become progressively separated from the
influence of the church." In fact, Mr. Abe states
that almost none of this social work (Salvation Army,
WCTU, etc.,) was established by or has been the
substantial responsibility of the national church. Thus,
he sees the work here as having been begun by in
dividuals or groups because of the lack of concern
and the financial weakness of the church in Japan.
It being true that Christian social work in the West
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE 231
is the result of the church's concern for the world,
a look at the founders of Christian social work in
Japan would show that the work here is an extension
of the same concern. So long as financial support
comes from churches overseas there is no pressing
problem for the Church in Japan. The fact that the
Church in Japan is now asking about Christian social
welfare shows a growing concern by Christians here.
This is not to disagree with Mr. Abe's premises but
to give him support for the conclusion he stated at
the beginning of this paragraph. It is high time that
the church here does have reponsibility and a part
in the development of social welfare that bears the
Christian name. Perhaps the heart of the question
is "How will the Church in Japan reconcile this
growing concern with the disproportionate size of the
welfare institutions as compared with the size of the
church". Thankfully, the church in Japan is not
standing alone as it seeks to solve this dilemma.
Because of the involvement of the whole church in
the whole world the church in any one nation does
not have just a local problem. Possible pragmatic
answers to a local situation would only begin to solve
the question.
According to the Mulheim Consultation reports there
is to be a conference on "The Churches and Social
Welfare " in 1966. A total of seventeen questions
are raised as proposed areas of study for this con
ference. These range from suggestions for 'preven-
tative ' programs of * neighborly love ' on a congrega
tional level to considering new forms of service for
new countries without transplanting structures irrele
vant to the new country. All are hard-core questions
and books will be written to try to begin to answer
each question. In trying to answer the questions of
232 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
dedicated Christian workers about the relationship to
both church and state in our social welfare program,
these studies will provide resources to enrich our
thinking and programs here in Japan.
Theological Basis of Social Welfare Work
In the world today we cannot limit our discussion
to the Churches and social welfare as though the state
can be by-passed. But the question of the churches
and social welfare is not a matter for just ecological
or sociological study ! The Church is amiss if its
premise for involvement in social welfare rests on
what the state is or is not going to do. We begin
with our doctrine of Christ, the Church and men and
move from that point. For us Christians the question
is not just how far we are missing the mark among
our fellow men but how far have we gone afield in
effecting our confession of faith in Jesus Christ. We
beg the question if we spend too much time looking
outward without having looked inside ourselves to
see the real beginnings of the human problems which
eventually get out of proportion and become social
problems.
Once the church has settled the theological question
of its place in social welfare perhaps it can lead in
the development of programs and institutions which
could move more freely within the orbit of govern
ment subsidies and controls. The Christian concern
in social welfare stems from God's love for man in
Christ. This is not subject to human regulation.
We have to begin our thinking from a point of
view which does not remove its gaze from present
problems in Christian social welfare as it seeks theologi
cal guidance. We dare not shrink from the challenges
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE 233
of our times but must consider them as God given
opportunities to move forward. We cannot go around,
over or under the obstacles which come before us.
We have only one choice and that is to " go through "
the perplexing labyrinth of current conflict. We have
a task which is similar to negotiating for straightening
a road where the proposed right of way is covered by
hundreds of homes and shops, each with a distinct
personal and public point of view. The resolve of
the planner must be stronger than the desire for status
quo by the owners who have the vested interest. The
price of success will be slow, expensive and involve
methodical study and negotiation.
The Church can best begin by clearly stating its
theology of social welfare, fully underwriting the in
stitutions which fulfill the theological function and
cheerfully giving up those which do not. Only expert
knowledge matched with selfless dedication to Christ's
love for man will be adequate to see the negotiations
through to completion. The institutions of the Church
can help by looking to the needs of man from a
broader and deeper and higher perspective than is
possible from only the technical point of view of
currently accepted standards of good social work.
From Cause to Function in Christian Social Work
One more note on historical perspective. How
exactly has Christian social welfare got to be what
it is today ? What has brought about the develope-
ment of our diversified programs ? The Christians
who have been the founders of our institutions have
been people dedicated to Christ. They have seen a
problem and have simply rolled up their sleeves and
pitched in to help, gaining support from friends who
234 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
could be persuaded to help. Porter R. Lee in his
paper " Social Work as Cause and Function" (Social
Work As Cause and Function and Other Papers;
New York, Columbia University Press, 1937) has
denned the development of social welfare as a move
ment from a cause to the position of a function.
" A cause is usually a movement directed toward the
elimination of entrenched evil." (page 22) He adds
that a cause can also be the establishment of a posi
tive good. — " At the moment of its success, the cause
tends to transfer its interest and its responsibility to
an administrative unit whose responsibility becomes
a function of well -organized community life." (page
23) " To the community as a whole a cause may
be justified by the faith and purpose of its adherents,
a function must be justified by demonstrated possibli-
ties of achievement." (page 26) This is leadership
supplanted by accountability. Of leadership, Mr. Lee
says : ' ' Here is one of the highly strategic points at
which the character of any cultural service must be
both cause and function, for at this point a community
has a right to ask both what values in social life it
should expect for itself and what distribution of these
values among its people it is willing and able to
accomplish", (page 33)
The church by nature is a good fighter when there
is a good cause. Individual Christians have demon
strated that the Gospel has taken over in their lives
by taking on causes that are apparent in their com
munities. It seems that as the causes have become
successful the public rather than private institutions
have been better in the functional nature of the social
welfare programs. Financial backing has much to
do with this, for where one or two or three can
effectively fight a cause until it gains the public eye,
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE 235
it takes a large number of workers to produce the
statistics and reports that give the aura of accoun
tability. The church could give a tremendous boost
to the work that bears the Christian name by giving
some clear statement as to the extent it will support
a cause. Dialogue with community leaders could help
effect smooth transfers of its work into the public
area of responsibility. Our big problem here is that
the church is as apt to be reluctant to give up any cause
that is successful and alxmt to be transferred to the realm
of function. The Christian institutions and their leaders
are not anxious to let go of work that is just on the
verge of success and do need more positive guidance at
just that point. Once we look at the Christian Social
Welfare Institutions and find out just exactly where
they are and what they are doing we may find fewer
conflicts than we now imagine. But, the current
state of affairs, in Japan at least, is that the church
because of its youth and lack of financial backing to
date is not fully aware of all the institutions that
would like to have more adequate church support.
The steps the church must take are these : 1) to
decide where it stands on the question of social
welfare ; 2) to find out what is being done and how
this relates to the decision made under #1 ; and 3)
to vigorously support all institutions and programs
which do qualify under the theologically acceptable
standards, while gradually letting go the institutions
and programs which either do not meet the standards
or are well enough established to be no longer in
need of primary Christian influence.
II
Some Major Events Related to Social Work in 1963
Shiro Abe
1. The termination of SOS (Share Our Surplus)
relief supplies, which had been distributed in Japan
for a number of years, was consummated on June
30, 1963. After the war, relief supplies were at first
distributed to needy homes and social welfare institu
tions through LARA (Licensed Agency for Relief in
Asia) . Then, in 1953, after America had been blessed
with bountiful harvests, and had accumulated a large
surplus, Congress voted to share $ 300 million worth
of supplies with needy nations. A part of this work
of distribution was delegated to three Christian welfare
organizations, i.e., Church World Service, American
Friends Service Committee, and Catholic Reliet Com
mittee (known as CAC) , which together handled some
$ 150 million worth of relief supplies. An abundant
part of this SOS relief was sent to Japan and many
needy Japanese were saved from starvation by these
gifts. This help has been greatly appreciated and
will always be regarded as a glorious episode in the
history of Social Welfare Work in Japan. In fact, in
many cases, SOS took on the deeper meaning of
" Save Our Souls," for it turned out to be a means
of both material and spiritual blessing. However,
with Japan's new economic prosperity, there is no
longer an urgent need for such relief supplies.
However, the termination of the SOS distribution
has challenged the Japanese Church to undertake
CHRISTIAN SOCAIAL WELFARE 237
welfare work in other needy areas of life. Thus
Japan Church World Service is now planning to divert
its efforts to the activities of a rural center, an ex
periment in upland agriculture, and the rehabilitation
of the handicapped.
2. Upholding of Japan s Anti-Vice Laws Urged:
In view of the fact that the Olympiad will be held
in Japan in 1964, and visitors will be coming from
all over the world, the Social Affairs Commission of
the Japan National Christian Council sent a message
to the Japanese Government on September 19, 1963,
urging the strengthening of anti-prostitution laws,
which have not been fully effective in removing this
evil from Japanese sociaty. It was also urged that in
order to raise ethical standards, moral education be
promoted, unhealthy cultural aspects be eliminated and
that the social security system be more fully establi
shed. The message was signed by Dr. Chitose Kishi,
chairman of NCCJ. Each church was also expected
to endorse the message by supporting its provisions
and educating its people.
3. Midnight Mission: Among dedicated Christian
social workers are the German missionaries and Japanese
co-workers of the Midnight Mission which carries on
a rehabilitation program for street girls. This project
has become a part of the Interchurch Aid program,
which has helped with the building of the " Nozomi-
no-Mon " (Gate of Hope School), which has
residence facilities for twenty girls and has been in
operation since early in 1963. A number of these
unfortunate girls have been converted and brought
into a new life of decency and hope.
4. The Toyohiko Kagaiva Memorial Center was
dedicated in April 1963 at Shinkawa, Kobe ; the site
of his first evangelistic and social welfare activity,
238 MISSION OF THR CHURCH
where there has long been a social settlement and
church.
5. Care of the aged continues to be an important
concern of the churches and three new Christian
homes for elderly people were dedicated in 1963, viz. , one
each in Gumma, Saitama and Shizuoka prefectures.
6. Labor Centers: The article on the Mission of
the Laity calls attention to the Nishijin Labor Center
of Kyoto and the Himeji-Wako Labor Center, which
emphasize both the evangelistic and social phases of
the Gospel. The same is true of the new Labor
Center at Izumi-Sano Church of Osaka Kyoku of the
Kyodan, which was dedicated November 10, 1963.
The city of Izumi-Sano is an industrial center where
cotton and jute weaving and hemp rope are manu
factured. Representatives of both federations of
ZENRO and SOHYO, were present at the dedication
and expressed appreciation for the annual church labor
school.
7. Inter denominal Cooperation in Social Work :
In spite of the Christian Social League of seventy
institutions which helps to coordinate the work of the
denominations engaged in social service (Kyodan,
Anglican, Lutheran, Baptist, Salvation Army, Friends
and others) , cooperation and communication between
them still has much to be desired. There is also
a fellowship of interdenominational social workers
called, Kirisutokyo Shakai Fukushi Gakkai (Christian
Social Welfare Study Society) , which affords oppor
tunity for consideration of mutual problems.
8. Problem of Christian nursery schools. Another
significant development which signifies a change of
direction is the increase in government patronage and
interference in the operation of nursery schools, as
revealed in the report of the Central Children's Wei-
CHRISTIAN SOCIAL WELFARE 239
fare Council. The new regulations do not permit the
direct operation of unrecognized church nurseries and
facilitate the establishment of public institutions. This
is but one more indication of how government policy
tends more and more to limit the social work of the
Church to acts of individual charity.
9. Christian Orphanages : Some sixty-six children's
homes, which are affiliated with CCF (Christian
Children's Fund) , are continuing to receive aid from
American Christians.
10. Salvation Army Christmas Kettles : As in
many other lands, the Salvation Army kettles play an
important part in the Japanese celebration of Christmas.
This appeal was made to people in the streets of
Japanese cities from December 17 through 31st and
a record offering was received, with more people than
ever making contributions. With these good will
offerings, Christmas gifts were sent to children in
slum areas, to the elderly in homes for the aged, and
accommodations were furnished to homeless people.
In these and other ways, the true spirit of Christmas
was made known.
11. Japan Christian Medical Association (JCMA)
J.C.M.A., now in its fifteenth year, continues to
fulfill its purpose: "to strengthen the fellowship in
the name of our Lord among the Christian doctors,
nurses, medical students, student nurses, and other
medical workers ; to unite those who work in the
same medical fields in the spirit of Christianity ; to
give mutual opportunities for study that they may
learn medicine ; and to offer medical services with a
sincere Christian spirit to those who need help." The
monthly organ, " Medicine and the Gospel," serves
for maintenance of mutual intercourse between the
the doctors, nurses and students of the fifteen local
240 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
chapters; which have a total membership of about
one thousand. A delegation from the Japan Associa
tion attended the first International Christian Medical
Conference held at Amsterdam in June 1963. Medi
cally neglected areas have continued to receive various
services from this very active Association. In each
local chapter, regular meetings are held for the deepen
ing of the mutual faith of the members and the
cultivation of the Christian spirit in medical practice.
To this end, also, lecture meetings are held to which
non-Christians are welcome and in this way come to
realize the importance of the application of Christian
principles in medical treatment. The Association has
taken the lead in the emphasis on preventive medicine
in the various communities, especially in medically
neglected areas. These have included : periodic health
surveys ; improvements in environmental hygiene where
communicable diseases are endemic ; guidance for a
more healthful dietary ; mass survey in tuberculosis
prevention, and periodic health checkup. Doctors,
nurses and medical students participate in such mass
surveys ; which occasions afford the opportunity for
fellowship in the service of Christ. J.C.M.A. is a
member of the National Christian Council and is
active in ecumenical outreach and international Chris
tian medical missions.
CHAPTER 6
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY
Kazuko I-Suzuki
The primary purpose of the " Mission of the Laity "
is now being widely accepted as equipping the laity
for Christian obedience and witness through daily life
and work in the secular world. The new awareness
of the need for equipping the laity to be the church
in the world is expressed not only in emphasis on
training lay people to be full-time workers for church-
related institutions or evangelistic enterprises as well
as assisting the clergy, but also in the conviction that
every member of the church who is baptized by the
Holy Spirit should share in the mission of whole
church.
In Asia, the importance and urgency of the concern
for the mission of the laity and for their training was
taken into consideration by the Working Committee
of the East Asia Christian Conference. It was re
commended that lay training be the main emphasis of
the entire work of the EACC in the quadrennial
period following the 1964 Assembly.
In Japan, there are signs that the churches are
already realizing the importance and responsibilities of
the laity, and are taking initiative in training.
During 1963, certain significant examples of such
new effort were reported. It is to be noted that the
Ten-Year Plan of Evangelism of the United Church
of Christ in Japan places its main emphasis on the
establishment of a policy of evangelism with particular
reference to the laity. *' The harvest is great but the
harvesters few." The major responsibility for witness
242 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
in homes and working places is in the hands of lay
people who can proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
adequately. This is to be done by believers of the
Christian Gospel through sharing one another's burdens
and through acts of service. The problem for us
is that we have entirely too few lay people who can
keep a balance between these two aspects of witness.
The responsibility for training effective lay witnesses
comes back to those of us who are called to such a
task. We must take every opportunity to stress the
importance of witness to God's grace in the place
where we are by having a better understanding of
one's self, one's own work and its technological and
scientific background, and by being able to serve
adequately one another's needs.
Annual Seminars on Home and Family
The church of Japan, from its beginning, has stressed
the importance of home visitation and family worship.
However, it has not been meeting the increasing
problems in a family life confronted by rapidly chang
ing society. The Home and Family Division of the
National Christian Council sponsored two seminars
during 1963 ; one for the Kanto area (eastern part
of Japan) and one for the Kansai area (western part) .
The Kanto area meeting was held at Hoshino Hotel,
Naka Karuizawwa, July 15-17, with lectures and dis
cussions centering around the theme, "The Christian
Home and the Nurture of Those Responsible for the
Next Generation." Ministers, missionaries, and lay
men were among the eighty four participants. Stu
dents from Southeast Asia, attending Tsurukawa Rural
Training Institute joined the seminar with simultaneous
translations given by Rev. Toshihiro Takami, the
TtfE MISSION OF THE LAITY 245
director of the Institute's Southeast Asia Course.
The participants were divided into four groups ac
cording to their needs and interests, such as premarital
group, husband and wife group, parent-child group and
in-laws and brides group with each group having two-
leaders, a minister and a counselor. Each participant
brought his or her own problem into the discussion.
The main addresses were given by Mr. Junichiro Sako,
Christian literary critic, and Dr. Kaname Moriwaki,
professor of educational psychology at Rikkyo Uni
versity, Rev. Shinji Iwamura, pastor of Omori
Megumi Church, and Dr. Yasushi Narabayashi, a
Christian medical doctor and marriage counselor, served
as group leaders along with others.
The Kansai area meeting was held July 22-24 at
Shirahamakadan. Using the same theme, approxi
mately the same number of people represented similar
categories and discussed similar subjects. The world
wide home problem ; human relationships in the
home ; and problems of youth were also considered.
For the Kansai area, this was the first experience of
this type of seminar.
The Kansai Seminar was opened with a lecture by
one of the jury women of the Osaka Domestic Court,
Mrs. Megumi Imada, who has been serving for more
than ten years. The second lecture was by Dr.
Yoshitomo Ushijima, a professor of educational psy
chology at Kyushu University. He particularly em
phasized the important, and unique role of the wife
and the importance of the family as the base for all
education, including the Christian witness. Rev. Shinji
Iwamura gave a biblical interpretation of marriage
and the family.
The result is that twice as many people have been
reached this year.
244 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Sending instructors and lecturers to local churches
and districts is another part of this committee's task.
Often leaders are sent as a team including a medical
doctor, a theologian or minister who has special train
ing in this field, and a psychologist or marriage coun
selor. Such a team moves around from place to
place conducting courses, seminars and conferences as
a mobile unit. In this way we reach laymen in their
own cultural situation. This is the best way to use
a limited budget and personnel.
One outstanding program of this type was held at
Matsuvama City on Shikoku Island, the smallest of
the four major islands of Japan. Matsuyama City was
selected for the seminar out of desire of local people.
It was well-attended for a first attempt to have such

the annual seminars.
Workshop on Marriage Counseling in Tokyo
A group of pastors, marriage counselors, missionar
ies, teachers and laymen met on February 25, 1963,
at the Ginza Christian Center to discuss mutual pro
blems on marriage counseling. This was the first at
tempt of the National Christian Council to plan a
series of meetings by the Home and Family Com
mittee with this subject as the focal point.
By means of lectures, panel discussions, and ques-
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY 245
tion and answer periods, ministers and laymen in
Christian schools were given opportunities to discuss
the handling of such matters as helping young people
to find Christian marriage partners in a non-Christian
society ; premarital counseling ; good Christian mar
riages ; the role of the minister and the local church ;
the availability of Christian doctors and psychiatrists,
and the attitude of members of the family toward
each other.
At the first of a series of three workshops Dr.
Ralph P. Bridgman was the principal speaker. He is an
Episcopal layman, marriage counselor at the Family
Court Center in Toledo, Ohio, who was Fulbright
visiting lecturer at the research and training institute
for the Family Court Probation Officers of the Su
preme Court of Japan. Dr. Bridgman stressed the
need for counseling relationships in the local church,
and those present felt that they they had gained fresh
insights into the question of marriage counseling.
Subsequent meetings were planned and held with
each session being well attended by both ministers
and laymen. Some addresses were "The Need for
Premarital Counseling and the Responsibility of the
Local Church" by Mr. Shinji Iwamura, and "A Symposi
um of Case Studies" by Dr. and Mrs. Kenji Tamura,
professional marriage counselors of the National In
stitute of Mental Health of Japan.
Christian Witness to Labor
Ay The Nishijin Labor Center:
Occupational evangelism has wide connotations but
at its core it simply means the church's responsibility
to present the claims of Christ to the world of work
246 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
in terms that are relevant to the daily occupation of
the worker whether professional, skilled, or unskilled.
Using the already existing church as a base, it at
tempts to reach out through labor schools and through
meetings of Christians in the same professions and
through Bible study groups.
The Kansai Labor Evangelism program was organ
ized seven years ago, under the leadership of Rev.
Henry Jones, a Presbyterian missionary, Dr. Masao
Takenaka of Doshisha, and Dr. Hisashi Mitsui of
Osaka, and by a few men and women who felt that the
Gospel must be made more relevant to the needs of
the day and to all people. A part of this program
was an interne plan involving seminaries and colleges
in the Kansai area.
Dr. Mochinobu Shimo, at that time a graduate stu
dent at Doshisha Seminary, was an interne assigned
to Nishijin, which is famous for its silk- weaving in
dustry. Mr. Shimo found in Nishijin several Christian
groups carrying on activities, on an entirely separate
and volunteer basis. He brought them together into
an informal group called the Nishijin-kai, in order
to cooperate and coordinate their separate efforts,
"his is the beginning of the Nishijin Labor Center.
When the Nishijin-kai with Mr. Shimo as its cen
tral figure, decided to campaign toward creating a
center, the Doshisha Seminary agreed to give guidance
and contribute the initial financial aid for purchasing
This was done with the purpose of making
such a center an integral part of theological education
at Doshisha in the area of practical training of theo
logical students.
A three-story building, the first floor containing the
mam meeting hall, the Nishijin Labor Center was
dedicated in December 1962. It is a building, modern
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY 247
in line and detail, set apart for the education, recre
ation, and spiritual uplift of the workers of this area.
The program inculudes labor schools, cooking class
es, an English School, a Counseling service, a medi
cal clinic, research activities and children's groups.
A weekly Bible study group provides opportunity for
serious study of the Bible and serves to relate that
study to the reality of society. This group will be
the coordinating point for churches in this area also.
B) Himegi-Wako Labor Center:
The intensified spirit of unity in Christ and the
concern for the ministry in industrial society led to
the organization of the Marima Industrial Area Coun
cil of Churches in 1963.
A type of group ministry was formed with Kako-
gawa-East Preaching Station, Takasago and Wako
churches as participants. They coordinate their acti
vities and report to one another regularly on progress
in various experiments.
Industrial evangelism is a part of the fundamental
task of the church and the responsibility to carry the
torch of this witness is in the hands of the laity.
The pastor's role is to be a counselor and supporter
of the laymen in action. How can the layman carry
out his task of witness in his place of work? How
can each layman be a Christian in his daily life? To
bring the problems and questions concerning this basic
task and to think them out together is the purpose
of the Harima Industrial Evangelism Circle.
The Monthly journal which this group publishes
is for discussion, reading and prayers to promote a
wider understanding among church people and those
seeking to understand the role of the Christian in an
248 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
industrial setting.
In this group are lay members of the Episcopal
Church, the Assembly of God, the United Church
of Christ in Japan and the labor unions.
In 1961, the Occupational Evangelism Committee
of the United Church of Christ in Japan designated
Himeji-Wako Church as one of its emphasis projects.
It was in the spring of 1962 that the Wako Labor
Center was established as a center of Christian service
to the laboring people of its community. As such it
sought to make applications of the fundamental princi
ples and concepts of industrial evangelism. The acti
vities of the Center which are the outgrowth of these
principles might be mentioned : 1) A Worker s
group for the study of Faith and work: This group,
made up of men and women working in small in
dustries, attempts to study the relationship between
the Christian faith and the area of science and tech
nology. 2) Cultural Activities: One of the most
serious problems for workers in a technologically ad
vanced nation is the use of leisure time. So far,
the activities are few but there has been a photo
graphy exhibit and folk dancing group to meet this
need. 3) Youth activities for the community: One
of the tragedies of our life today is the lack of true
conversation between men. The purpose of our youth
activity program is to recover dialogue through sing
ing and talking together. There are may ways to
meet the needs of youth in the community as the
"salt of the earth" through active service groups.
C) Church Mission to Truckers:
Along a heavily travelled highway in one of Japan's
most industrialized areas stands a unique preaching-
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY 249
point of the United Church of Christ in Japan. Few
persons think of it as a chapel, however, since the
building consist of a diner and facilities for servicing
heavy trucks. As industrialization moves rapidly for
ward, the number of trucks on the highways increases
greatly. In Japan truck drivers work three and four
days continuously without rest and as a result of fa
tigue and illness, traffic accidents occur. The Rev.
Micho Imai felt that the Lord of the Resurrection must
stand on the highway and dwell in the hearts of
truck drivers. Therefore he began planning a labor
center where the drivers could rest, eat, take a shower,
and have someone to listen to them as a spiritual
counselor.
The complete facilities will include a parking lot
for 150 trucks, a service area, sleeping quarters to
accommodate fifty men, a five-minute laundry service,
and a large dining hall. One of the center's most
important functions will be to provide conversation
with the drivers most of whom are away from home
several weeks at a time. The staff, numbering thirty
persons working on a round-the-clock basis, will help
drivers keep in touch with their families.
Commenting on Mr. Imai's ministry, the president
of the local trucking association said, "His work is
an oasis for human needs in the desert of traffic jams."
No one church, in isolation from other churches,
can carry on this type of work by itself. In order
to confront the huge industrial organization and so
ciety, the church too, must combine all available for
ces and personnel in the spirit of true unity under
one common Lordship of Christ.
Institute of Laymen Overseas:
In recent history the professional missionary has
250 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
been regarded as central and the layman as more or
less on the periphery. However, in the last analysis,
the success or failure of the Christian movement in
Japan or any other land, depends on the Christian
laymen overseas as well as upon the clergy.
An ' 'Institute for Laymen Overseas" was held at
the newly opened Nippon Academy Oiso House, Sep
tember 27-29, 1963, sponsored by Tokyo Union
Church, the National Christian Council, the National
Council of Churches in the USA, and a Tokyo-Yo
kohama Inter-Church Committee. The theme was
"How does a Christian Meet the Problems and
Opportunities of living in Japan." This Institute had
a two-fold objective : 1) to help laymen (men and
women) living and working overseas for government,
business, military, technological assistance organiza
tions, and service agencies to recognize and fulfill
their opportunities as Christians in Japan- 2) to share
the experience of this pilot project with overseas
church men elsewhere as together we face contempo
rary issues of Christian living.
The Institute searched for helpful resources for the
churchman abroad as he confronts challenges and
dilemmas in his everyday relationships with persons
of another culture. How do we identify the frontiers
of effective Christian witness? Opportunities in mission
and present-day strategy with emphasis on our Christian
faith as it relates to Man and God's World.
Dr. Robbin Strong, formerly of the YMCA and
currently with the United Church Board for World
Ministries was the main speaker. Other leaders were
the Rev. Howard B. Haines, pastor of Tokyo Union
Church, Dr. Maurice Troyer of the International
Christian University, and Dr. Sam Franklin of the
Tokyo Union Theological Seminary. One other feature
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY 251
of the program was a panel discussion in which a
prominent diplomat, a businessman, an officer in the
U. S. Armed Forces, and a housewife participated.
Discussion topics were " The Overseas Laymen in
His Daily Work," "The Overseas Layman in Japan,"
" How We Can Help Each Other Find Christian
Faith," " Issues facing the Japanese Church-Problems
of Communication."
Tsurukawa Rural Institute:
In our age it is difficult to reach people where they
are, for there are so many different occupations, ways
of living and strata of society. How does the minis
ter find ways and means of reaching his people on a
common footing ? How can he preach effectively
to them unless he does?
A minister in a mining community is more effective
if he knows something about mining, its dangers and
difficulties. So too with farming. There are a great
many farmers in the world, and some ministers are
striving to get closer to their church members who
are farmers by learning about their lives.
In Japan this is possible at the Tsurukawa Rural
Institute in Machicla, a one-hour trip from the center
of Tokyo.
It is for men and women, ministers and lay people.
Students are mostly from rural areas. There are about
sixty students, including those in the theology depart
ment, nursery teacher training, and the agricultural
courses.
A part of the work is the carrying on of the South
east Asia Christian Rural Leaders Training Course,
begun in 1960 and at present headed by the Rev.
Toshihiro Takami. The course runs from April
MISSION OF THR CHURCH
to December. Thirteen people are expected this year
from the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan,
Burma, Malaysia, Korea, Okinawa, and New Guinea.
Visitation Evangelism (Minoru Okada)
One of the most striking signs of a new sense of
lay responsibility is seen in the increasing development
of visitation evangelism. Never in recent history have
Church men and women been so intent on learning
how they can be used to bring others to the Christian
faith and to the Church. Training schools in lay
evangelism have become an important feature of
Church life in Japan-.
The Committee on Visitation Evangelism of NCCJ
was first appointed in 1953, and by the grace of God
the work has continued to develop through the faith
ful ministry of wise pastors and consecrated lay visit
ors. Though the facts and figures are not available
for many churches, more than two hundred of the
churches of the United Church of Christ (Kyodan)
are engaged in this type of evangelism and strenuous
efforts are being made to enlist the other churches
in this important effort.
The main visitation evangelism program in 1963
was as follows :
1. The tenth summer training institute was held
at the Rikkyo Camp in Karuizawa, August 21-23,
with 230 persons enrolled. A winter training institute
for the Kansai area was held at Sumaso, Kobe, with
210 laymen in attendance : making a total of 440
persons who received the special training for visitation
evangelism.
2. District institutes were also held in Shikoku
and Tohoku under the same NCCJ auspices. Doubt-
THE MISSION OF THE LAITY 253
less many other similar institutes were conducted by
unaffiliated denominations.
3. Members of the Visitation Evangelism Com
mittee of the Kyodan, together with certain lay e-
vangelists, were sent to all the thirteen districts of
the Kyodan to conduct training institutes in 103 places,
and about 500 new lay evangelists were enlisted.
A Visitation Evangelism Monthly is published for
the purpose of helping to train lay evangelists and
share information, experiences and to serve as a com
munication medium between interested churches.
The cost of conducting the nation-wide institutes
under the auspices of NCCJ has been met by con
tributions from the interested denominations. Though
Mission Boards cooperating with the Kyodan have
shared the cost of the program during the first decade,
the Kyodan Home Mission Board will bear the entire
cost from 1964.
The work of visitation evangelism as it has de
veloped in Japan during the past ten years may be
briefly described as follows :
1. This type of evangelism involves close cooper
ation between the pastor and each lay evangelist.
Owing to the fact that inquirers or prospects come
from all over town, the important follow-up work is
usually done by a single evangelist in each case.
Usually the names for visitation are assigned by the
pastor or church committee, with full details recorded
on a visitation card, which also serves for additional
information.
2. The semiannual house to house visitation is
carried on by teams of two each and the aim is
to visit all homes in a given parish. At other
times the main work is with inquirers, with each
one assigned to a suitable evangelist who becomes his
254 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
friend and mentor as he enters into the new life in
Christ. The visitation evangelists are also responsible
for calling on church members who have become in
active, with a view to helping them to get out of their
backslidden condition. These lay evangelists actually
form the vital nucleus of the various church groups ;
men's league, women's society, youth organization
and so on. In some churches they meet in prayer
cells and engage in the united prayer which is so
vital to evangelism.
3. In recent years, some of the more earnest visit
ation evangelists have become candidates for the
ministry or other full time Christian vocation and are
now serving in various fields. Ministers have also
found good wives among these devoted evangelistic
women.
One pastor has recently related how the pastoral
and evangelistic problems of his church were solved
when almost the entire congregation dedicated their
lives to visitation evangelism
CHAPTER 7
THE MISSON TO YOUTH
A
Youth and Student Work
Delmar Wedel
Christian Youth Week has been celebrated by the
National Christian Council in Japan for fourteen years.
In 1963 the theme of the special meetings held
throughout the country was " Living Out the Gospel."
And of course this is the symbol of what all Christian
youth organizations hope to do — to live out the Gospel
in their life together and in their concern for others.
Such a summary report as this cannot reproduce the
spirit and content of all these youth activities nor
evaluate their significance at year's end. Yet, perhaps
as you read this sketch of youth study programs,
leadership training conferences, and service projects,
you will be able to see some of the purpose behind
them and some of their significance for the future.
The report will include the youth activities of the
East Asian Christian Council, of the National Christian
Council in Japan, of the YMCA and the YWCA,
and international work camps and exchange projects
in which Japanese youth participated.
For brevity's sake, the emphasis will tend to be on
the unique activites of the year — the new concerns
and programs, the special evangelistic efforts. We
should also remember the total ongoing program of
these organizations however : The basic program of
all campus YM-YWCA's, for example, is Bible study
through which the Christan members hope to deepen
256 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
their own faith and witness to the "seekers" who
may in most cases constitute half of the participants.
In the student dormitories, daily Bible study and
worship begins or ends the day. While mentioning
certain organizational details of Student-in-Industry
Seminars or Ecumenical Work Camps, we should also
remember that the power of such groups depends, as
it always has, on the day-by-day witness which the
members make by their service, their Christian fellow
ship, and their verbal proclamation of the Good News
to the school or the factory or the community in
which they live and work. So work camps may
become not only a place where Christian students
show their concern through some work project but a
place where the non-Christian campers are challenged
to make a Christian commitment and persons in the
host community are introduced to the implications of
a Christian decision.
Leadership Training
As the year began, forty youth leaders gathered at
Izu to participate in the Fourteenth NCC Youth
Leaders' Conference. The conference theme was
" Problems of Leading Present Christian Youth " and
the introductory lecture was one of special importance
to all youth leaders, "The Present Value System of
Japanese Youth." As the conference progressed, the
relationship between recreation and evangelism was
discussed and perspectives of the NCC were presented.
The YMCA also sponsored several leadership training
programs : for its Hi-Y leaders, for its physical
education workers (using the resources of a visiting
lecturer— Arthur Steinhaus of George Williams Col
lege) , and for leaders of industrial youth. YWCA
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 257
conferences for high school and junior high school
leaders were held on a local and national level and
about five hundred persons participated in this training.
International Activities
The year 1963 was an exciting year for the develop
ment of international communication and exchange
projects. The NCC continued to send participants to
the International Work Camps in Hong Kong, Korea,
and Sarawak. For the YMCA, it was the seventh
year of involvement in the rural work camps in the
Philppines. Four students took medicine and personal
aid to that program. Twenty-two Japanese attended
the YMCA Asian Lay-Leaders' Conference in Luala
Lumpur and the Hi-Y's of Osaka and Hiroshima
continued their Sister City Youth Exchange with high
school students in San Francisco and Honolulu.
The NCC Ecumenical Work Camp in 1963 (which
included students from Japan, Korea, the U.S.A.,
and Hong Kong) was engaged in road construction
work at the Shimada Home for deficient children
from July 17 to August 14. In addition to this, the
Student YMCA sponsored an International Work
Camp at Uenohara where campers began preparations
for a Youth and Retreat Center in that city. Follow
ing the Work Camp, an International Seminar met
at International Christian University.
In January, four Korean Youth Leaders (1 Methodist
Church representative, 1 YMCA staff, 2 Presbyterian
Church representatives) visited Japan for a week at
the invitation of the Japan National Christian Council.
Eleven Japanese students participated in a YMCA
exchange project to the Korean work camp and nine
Korean students returned the visit, attending con-
258 MISSION OP7 THE CHURCH
ferences in Japan and visiting in Japanese homes.
Kazuo Hamada left for Peru as fraternal secretary
from the Japan YMCA World Service to the YMCA
in that country. He represents the third person to
be sent abroad from the Japanese movement.
Under the auspices of the YMCA, a joint com
mittee of Japanese and overseas students formed an
organization for International Student Services. The
purpose of this group is to stimulate dialogue between
Japanese -students and the growing number of overseas
students in Japan. A Weekend Conversation at Oiso
was organized by this group and the Kyodan Com
mittee on Ecumenical Relations. The Y is now plan
ning a series of orientation programs to encourage
personal encounter between Japanese students and the
nearly five thousand overseas students now studying
in Japanese universities.
Among the efforts of Asian Christians to seek a
regional consciousness has been the work of the East
Asian Christian Conference — " an organ of continu
ing fellowship and cooperation among the churches
and Christian Councils in East Asia." Nineteen sixty-
three saw the Planning Committee begin its work
for the Asian Christian Youth Assembly (December
28, 1964-January 8, 1965). The Assembly to be held
in Silliman University, Philippines, is for young
adults representing a variety of occupations in both
rural and urban areas. The quota for Japan is thirty-
five. Participants will consider the claims of the
Gospel and the Church and how they relate to the
life of Christian youth in Asia today. Political and
economic situations of the Asian nations, international
relationships, and Christian unity will also be con
sidered.
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 259
General Youth Activities
The Japanese political situation received emphasis
in the YWCA study project for 1963. The study
concentrated on an understanding of the National
Constitution and its proposed revisions. Each of the
larger city YMCA's sponsored the study, and Business
Girls' groups were especially involved in it. Several
of the social concerns groups also focused on this
issue as being most important at this time.
The YMCA reports two new developments occur-
ing in 1963. A $ 2 1/2 million campaign is under
way which will make possible the construction of
eleven new YMCA Youth Centers. Also, as a result
of discussions with the government of Hokkaido, a
4,000 acre development is being planned at Kitami,
Hokkaido, near Akan National Park. This is one of
the last primitive areas in Japan. A Development
Secretary has been appointed, and the area will be
developed for wilderness camping and family camping.
University Activities
The Life and Mission of the Church study program
begun in 1959 under the stimulus of the World Stu
dent Christian Federation will continue into 1964. It
is a cooperative study program of the Kyodan, Nihon
Kirisuto Kyokai, the Japan Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Baptist Domei, Baptist Renmei, the Korean
Church, and the YMCA and YWCA. Besides its
continuing study of the Japanese Church situation
in relation to the History of Student Christian
Work in Japan, the committee also sponsored a
Leaders' Seminar for pastors, professors and student
workers and a Bible Study Seminar for students. It
260 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
continued its publication of the quarterly "The Dai-
gaku Christosha."
Related in concern and membership to this LMC
study group are the discussions of the Hosaku linkai.
This Strategy Committee seeks to develop a strategy
of unified campus witness and to discover a coopera
tive organizational structure (of the YM-YWCA, stu
dent centers, and the churches) which can best serve
that witness to universities in Japan. Although the
Hosaku linkai has not arrived at any definitive strategy
for unified student work, there are examples of coopera
tive relationships developing. For example, several
full-time missionaries and pastors are associated now
with the YMCA in various cooperative student work
relationships.
Besides the WSCF Day of Prayer held annually in
many countries throughout the world, Japan's involve
ment in the leadership structure of WSCF is con
siderable : Masao Takenaka is Vice-President of the
Federation ; Hideyasu Nakagawa is Vice-Chairman
of the Teachers' Commission ; Kentaro Shiozuki is
the Federation's Asian staff person.
About 475 professors are now members of the
Christian Scholars Fellowship (Daigaku Christosha no
Kai) closely associated with the Student YM-YWCA.
Under the leadership of Mikio Sumiya of Tokyo
University, its regional groups on humanities, social
and natural sciences were active in 1963 and a con,
saltation of "Faith, Learning, and Education" was
held on a national level.
The Christian Scholars Fellowship, the LMC Com
mittee, and the YM-YWCA share responsibility for
the planning of the Second World Student Christian
Federation Asian Conference on the Life and Mission
of the Church to be held in Japan, May 19-30, 1964.
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 261
Seventy Asian delegates (principally young university
teachers and graduate students planning to teach)
will meet at Oiso Academy House to focus on the
theme "University Man in Modernizing Asia — Christian
Commitment and Academic Responsibility". It is
expected that the conference will be followed by the
formation of an international fellowship of Christian
teachers in Asian universities.
In the summer of 1963, the NCC sponsored Student-
in-Industry Seminars in Tokyo and Osaka. In Tokyo,
students worked at Origin Denki, N.H.K., Hakuyosha
Cleaners, and on construction projects like Tokyo
subway during the day and at night on their study
theme "On the Job Human Relationships". In
Osaka, the theme was " The Life of a Worker " and
the work experiences varied from shipyards to soap,
button, and paint factories.
Hoping to demonstrate its concern for the Korean
minority in Japan, the NCC Summer Youth Caravan
traveled to the coal mining area of southern Japan.
Here in the Korean churches of Shimonoseki and
Kyushu, five Japanese students, six Korean students
and one American conducted youth activities during
the three- week period of the Caravan.
This year was the sixth annual visitation to this
same area for members of the Coal Mining Children's
Protection Association. This grass roots movement
originated with students of Tokyo Union Seminary
and now includes students from fifteen universities
and colleges. One hundred-fifty students, working in
churches in the coal mining area, set up day camp
and tutoring services for children of the unemployed
miners. Students pay their own transportation and
maintenance expenses for the two-week period.
The 72nd Annual National Summer School of the
262 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
YM-YWCA was held in Tozanso where more than
200 students endeavored to discover " The Christian
Student Understanding of the Gospel". In eight
regional conferences, six hundred students investigated
various aspects of their Christian responsibility : " Stu
dent Response to the Gospel," " Living as a Student ",
"Response for the Present," etc.
So this article began with a report of youth leaders
asking the important question "What is the value
system of Japanese youth ?" and ends with a report
of young people asking " What is the responsibility
of Christian youth in Japan today ?" The year's
dialogue has been healthy, the response in most cases
whole-hearted and enthusiastic, and the possibilities
of the future will be the work of 1964.
B
EVANGELICAL STUDENT WORK
Michael Griffiths
'Evangelical' student work in Japan, as in other
countries, reflects a passion for soulwinning, an em
phasis upon commitment to Christ and dedication to
His service in obedience to the revealed Word of God,
The stand on the Bible is in fact the traditional posi
tion of all those true to the historic Christian creeds
and the great doctrinal confessions of the Protestant
Reformation, It is not therefore surprising that such
work has a wide interdenominational representation,
drawing its staff and conference speakers from all
major Protestant groups. For example, the Board of
the Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship (KGK) includes
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 263
Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist and Holiness church
leaders, while its speakers are drawn as much from
the older Japanese churches, as the more recent
postwar groups.
Social implications are not judged to be unimportant,
in that great stress is placed upon practical and
transformed daily living. But students, like everybody
else, must be born again of the Spirit of God, and
then nurtured in the wholesome teaching of the Bible
before they can be expected to have a truly Christian
attitude to anything. Some of the problems of Christ
ian application are more relevant, and can be ham
mered out more intelligently by groups of graduates,
wellgrounded in Christian doctrine as students, and
who need now to apply this to the problems they
encounter in daily living.
The first aim then of such evangelical activity is
the conversion of unbelievers to Christ, induced by
the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, resulting in
the new birth. Conversion, and baptism in their own
local church must come first. Indeed, all such inter
denominational work is careful to stress its subsidiary
role as a handmaid of the churches, eschewing any
Sunday gatherings, and insisting on church attendance
even before conversion. Then follows systematic in
struction in Biblical doctrine leading to practical ap
plication to daily living and winning others to Christ.
As with a great deal of evangelical work in Japan,
its strength as well as its weakness lies in its diversity.
Numberless individuals with a spontaneous and Holy
Ghost inspired concern for the salvation of young
men and women, as well as local churches, denomina
tions and missions, are working among the four million
High School children and the three quarters of a
million University students. The English and Japanese
264 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Bible Classes continue to be an attraction for students,
and have certainly been used down through the years
to bring many to Christ, and nurture them in the
faith.
Student Centres, off campus, either independant or
denominational, have in some cases done notable
work, though the heavy overheads mean that they
often remain dependant upon overseas support. Many
mission groups hold Summer Camps for University
and High School students-and the Matsubara-Ko Camp
organised by the Evangelical Alliance Mission is one
fine example among about 50 others of this kind. In
a short space it is quite impossible to mention all
those agencies which do some work among students,
but at the national level there are three main move
ments whose activity is devoted exclusively to students.
It is perhaps interesting to observe that even when a
movement takes its initial inspiration from abroad,
those elements regarded in Japan as most offensively
garish are often quite painlessly extracted and smoothed
out in the process of becoming a truly Japanese
movement.
At the High School level such interdenominational
work is carried out by Hi-BA (High School Born
Againers] or High School Evangelism Fellowship.
The staff of five full time evangelists (all men) and
four missionaries are led by Mr. Akira Horiuchi and
Mr. Kenneth Clark. The staff members hold regular
weekly meetings in various centres in Kanto and
Kansai, to which Christian students are encouraged
to bring their unconverted friends. Often these Christ
ians themselves hold small informal Bible study
groups within their own schools. The summer
camp programme is an integral part of the work —
there is a preparatory course of counsellor training,
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 265
and the camps are well organised and efficiently
run. For example, everyone must come at the begin
ning and stay to the end ! Many find Christ as
Saviour first at these camps. Naturally not all those
who attend Hi-BA meetings are necessarily converted,
nor do all who profess to be converted, necessarily
prove to have been genuinely born of the Spirit. But
many fine dedicated Christian young men and women
entering the Universities were brought to Christ through
the ministry of Hi-BA.
Among University students, the indiginous K.G.K.
(Kirisutosha Gakusei Kai} sometimes known as the
Japan I.V.C.F. (Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship)
began spontaneously directly after the war when some
students at Waseda University began to meet for
prayer and Bible-study in 1947, and they first used
the name of KGK. In the early days the movement
was much helped and nurtured by missionaries as
sociated with the Ochanomizu Student Centre, notably
Miss Irene Webster-Smith, and while it has been
independant of the Centre now for some years, its
national office is still at the Centre and close and
cordial relations are maintained with this and other
centres, for example, the Waseda Centre initiated by
Charles Corwin.
KGK works on the * pure group ' philosophy be
lieving that the best witness to students is made by
their fellow students, so that student leadership and
initiative is encouraged, while church pastors, univer
sity professors and KGK staff are used as speakers.
The spring and summer conferences, with about ten
held each year over the different regions, are organised
by the students themselves. They select themes,
invite speakers, choose sites and chair all the meetings.
The staff is small and highly mobile — the General
266 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Secretary, Mr Hisashi Ariga, travelling indefatigably
around the provinces south of Tokyo, while Mr Hisa-
yuki Takahashi travels in Tohoku and Hokkaido.
There are three other Japanese fulltime workers, and
two or three missionaries (seconded by their missions
at KGK's request) working from a more local base,
as well as a loyal band of pastors (many of them old
members) and missionaries who give generous volun
tary help.
Stress is also placed both upon private personal
devotions daily (thus the first KGK publication was
* The Quiet Time ') and also upon the corporate
Daily Prayer Meeting on campus. New groups start
ing are encouraged to begin with prayer meetings
only, seeking the blessing and guidance of God first,
and only then beginning any regular open meetings.
Waseda University has a Daily Prayer Meeting now
entering its seventeenth year.
Apart from direct on-campus activity, KGK has
engaged in publishing and some notable contributions
have been the well-known one volume IVF New Bible
Commentary and 'Towards Christian Marriage'. More
recently KGK has been concentrating on publishing
books written for the thinking non-Christian, and
distributing them through secular channels to ordinary
bookstores— the late Prof. C.S. Lewis ' Beyond Pre-
sonality ' was the first of this new series of books of
apologetics.
The work is almost entirely supported financially
by a small band of young graduate supporters. This
June the KGK plans two series of special evangelistsc
meetings in Tokyo, a regular use of correspondence
courses and will begin sponsorship of a radio pro
gramme whose listening audience is mainly student.
A newcomer on the scene is the Campus Crusade
THE MISSION TO YOUTH 267
for Christ, which began in the United States fairly
recently, and is actively promoting sister movements
in other parts of the world where it is not as yet
represented. In Japan they have an office at 8, 1-
chome, Kudan, Chiyodo Ku, Tokyo (262-5015) and
the Japan Director is Mr. Kosuke Maki. They have
an attractive programme of camps, beautifully adver
tised, and there are three other fulltime workers.
Getting off the ground is often difficult until a move
ment is known, and it is probably too early yet to
know how this movement will develope in Japan.
Doctrinally and in activities they differ little from
KGK and HiBA though they have their own me
thodology in evangelism and workers are trained at
Arrowhead Springs in the approved methods. Staff
leadership is stressed, but whether this will appeal to
all students has yet to be seen. Support is largely
from abroad though vigorous attempts are being made
to raise funds in this country.
The diversity of evangelical student work is not
without its advantages — for what matters to the pastors
and missionaries, to laymen and graduates on univer
sity staffs, as well as to the organised societies is that
like Paul, we might * by all means save some '. What
matters is not initials, denominations, societies or
methods — so long as there is a stream of young men
and women, born again and instructed in the Word
of God, their lives devoted to the service of the
Master we all love, pouring into the churches and
into the society of Japan.
CHAPTER 8
CHURCH, MISSION, AND MISSIONARY-
PATTERNS OF COOPERATION
John Barksdale
Japan presents a wide variety of church-mission and
church-missionary patterns of cooperation. This is
due to the existence here of a great variety of national
churches and overseas mission groups, all of which
are in differing stages of development. Some have
a history of a hundred years ; others have come or
developed since World War II. It will be the purpose
of this chapter to survey briefly the present patterns
of relationship, with emphasis upon the developments
since 1958, when this topic was covered in a Yearbook
survey of postwar Protestant missons to that date.
This survey will be narrower in scope, however,
attempting to summarize only the field of church-
missionary relationships.
Stated more precisely, the topic to be considered
is the formal structure of misson — or missionary —
church relationships, and how this structure is mani
fested in the following areas : 1) matters involving
the personal life of the missionary, such as housing,
salary, education of children, etc. : 2) the call, as
signment, evaluation, and reassignment of mission
aries; 3) the planning and execution of evangelism,
church extenstion, Christian education, medical and
social work, etc. Since it is impossible to cover all
cases, the following have been selected as being re
presentative of a wide variety of churches in respect
to size, doctrine, organization, etc.

KINUGASA HOSPITAL
from Devastation
to Reconstruction
Appeal for Reconstruction Help
Since its opening on August 11, 1947, this
Hospital has attempted in the Name of Christ
to serve the community at large as a medical
and social welfare center. On January 6, 1960
the greater part of the facilities was destroyed by fire. This tragedy
necessitated the reconstruction of the hospital and the first of the three
stages of reconstruction was completed in late May 1963 as shown in the
pictures here attached. We express our sincere gratitude and appreciation
for the help given by every phase of the community, not only from inland
but over sea.
The Hospital is still in need of such devices as wards, elevator, steam
heating system to install in a possible earliest day.
An attractive brochure in English giving details about the Hospital and
the reconstruction program will be sent upon inquiry.
We appreciate any support that you can give this Hospital.

PATTERNS OF COOPERATION 269
I. N.C.C.-related
A. United Church of Christ (Kyodan) . The funda
mental pattern of missionary-church relation in the
United Church is well-known and has not basically altered
in the past six years. Seven denominations (United
Presbyterian, U.S.A., Methodist, Disciples of Christ,
Evangelical United Brethren, United Church of Canada,
United Church of Christ, U.S.A., Reformed Church
of America) cooperate with the United Church through
the Interboard Committee (IBC) , with offices in New
York. These churches have no mission organization
in Japan ; their missionaries are integrated into the
United Church organization. All matters involving
the assignment and work of missionaries and coopera
tion between the overseas churches and the United
Church are handled by a Council of Cooperation
(COC) with offices in Tokyo, consisting of eleven
members of the United Church, eight members elected
by Kyodan -related schools, six members from Kyodan-
related social work agencies, and ten members elected
by the IBC, upon receiving nominations from the
field. Each missionary is a full member of the United
Church and of the district in which his work is
located, while at the same time retaining his member
ship in his home church body. Missionaries are
eligible to become pastors (when ordained), to serve
on committees, to be elected as voting members of
the district meeting or General Assembly, etc.
Matters pertaining to missionary housing, personal
work allowances, education of children, etc., are still
left up to the missionaries themselves, being supervised
by the IBC Missionary Field Committee, composed of the
missionary representatives on the COC. All other
matters involving missionaries, however, are handled
270 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
by the COC and the district, institution or other
Church body to which the missionary is assigned.
Missionaries are assigned by the COC in answer to
requests from districts and institutions. Their recall
after furlough is subject to a favorable vote by the
COC. Requests for financial aid from institutions,
church agencies and districts, for such purposes as
aid to pioneer evangelism projects, etc., are directed
to the Mission Boards through the COC.
A persistent problem since the beginning of the
present organization has been the lack of any definite
relation between the Christian schools with their tradi
tional overseas relationships, and the United Church.
In 1962 the Constitution of the United Church was
amended so as to define this relationship from the
church's standpoint, but the schools (thirty-five in all)
continue to call themselves IBC -related rather than
United Church-related. Recently the schools, through
the COC, have decided that they will discontinue
their old individual ties and ask for a lump-sum con
tribution for educational work, which will then be
apportioned by the COC.
In regard to aid for church building, evangelists'
salaries, etc., the church has various plans for which
it has requested IBC aid. Some of these are the
"D" plan, which provides ¥400,000 per year for
three years for high potential projects, or the "E"
plan, which subsidizes a new project on a diminishing
scale over a period of seven years. Approximately
35% of the United Church Headquarters budget
comes from overseas sources. In 1962 a campaign
was begun to raise $ 2,780,000 in ten years, to enable
the church to become self-supporting, except for such
expensive items as TV and radio broadcasting, theologi
cal education and some types of building.
PATTERNS OF COOPERATION 271
The United Church has other missionary relation
ships besides the IBC. It allows full status to in
dividual missionaries, at their request, of groups with
which it is not officially related. Some who have
this status of '* Cooperating Missionary " are members
of the German East Asia Mission and the German
Midnight Mission. The former mission has offered
financial aid for evangelism in new apartment develop
ments. Still another type of relationship has been
established recently with the Presbyterian Church,
U.S., some missionaries of which had hitherto been
"Cooperating Missionaries". It has become an as
sociate member of the IBC. All mission members
who wish to work with the United Church will
henceforth do so through the regular IBC-COC chan
nels. This church will differ from other IBC churches,
however, in maintaining at the same time official ties
with another Japanese denomination, the Christian
Reformed Church, and also in continuing some kind
of mission organization to deal with institutions and
work related to neither denomination. The American
Beptists are currently studying a similar arrangement
with the United Church, while maintaining their
connection with the Japan Baptist Union.
The United Church has recently completed a re-
study of the role of the missionary in the Japanese
Church. Answers to questionnaires sent to both
nationals and missionaries indicate that the large
majority favor a continuation of the present general
type of relation. Some recommendations for improve
ment were that the church take more responsibility
for missionary orientation ; that more careful job descrip
tions be given when missionaries are requested ; that
the districts really carry out the present provision for
the receiving and guidance of new personnel ; and that
272 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
the COC confer with the missionary before going
on furlough for evaluation and reassignment, rather
than reassigning while on furlough.
B. Anglican Episcopal Church of Japan. This is
a case of perhaps even more complete integration.
Though the church contains a substantial number of
overseas personnel, sent by various societies from the
U.S., England, Canada and Australia, the church
requests them originally, stations them, and defines
their area of work. They are directly responsible to
the bishop, school, etc., as the case may be.
American personnel retain their membership in the
home church, but for all practical purposes are treated
as having full church membership in Japan, being
invited to participate (if clergymen) in diocese elec
tions. British personnel are considered to belong only
to the church in Japan as long as they are here ; yet
they move freely back into the home church upon
return. There is a central office of the American
Episcopal Church which, at the request of the Japan
Church, handles matters of missionary salary, housing,
pastoral advice, etc. British missionary societies de
signate one person for the same purpose.
The church requests aid from overseas for new
church and institution projects through this office,
which studies them, makes suggestions, and recom
mends them to the overseas churches if they seem
wise. With about $ 100,000 from overseas sources
the church has set up a revolving loan fund for
building.
The well-known project, KEEP, at Kiyosato, which
has received much help from the U.S., is independent
of church control, but is Anglican in all matters of
worship and church life.
With vigorous young leadership, this second largest
PATTERNS OF COOPERATION 273
Protestant church in Japan has shown marked maturity
and initiative in recent years, especially since its 100th
anniversary in 1959.
C. Baptist Convention of Japan. This denomina
tion is assisted by the Southern Baptist Mission, but
the church and mission remain independent bodies
with no organizational connection. This means,
naturally, that the mission is responsible for the
salaries, housing, etc., of its missionaries. Final
decision as to assignment of missionaries is the re
sponsibility of the mission, but only after consultation
with the Convention's personnel committee. The
mission attempts no evangelistic work on its own.
All its members move their church membership from
American churches to specific local churches in Japan,
and as individuals they have the same status as
Japanese members. If elected they may be voting
messengers to the Annual Meeting. All may attend
and express opinions. Some serve as associate staff
officers of the Convention, officially under the direction
of the Japanese officers. An evangelistic effort such
as the New Life Movement in 1963, though proposed
by the overseas church, must be approved by the
Convention. Though the above campaign was en
thusiastically accepted by the great majority of the
Convention, some strong statements were made in
opposition, and under Baptist polity, those churches
which did not wish to cooperate were free to hold
aloof.
The mission makes outright capital grants of un
specified amounts for land, up to two million yen for
the church building, and up to one million yen for
the pastor's dwelling or building of a pioneer project.
The priority of these projects, and the amounts, are
determined by the Convention. There is also a Re-
274 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
volving Loan Fund, administered by the Convention,
with the requirement that the loan be repaid in five
years, though there is some discussion concerning the
advisability of increasing to ten years. The mission
also makes outright grants to institutions, such as its
hospital in Kyoto and Seinan Gakuin in Fukuoka.
The mission subsidizes salaries of the pastors of preach
ing stations. Most pastors of organized churches do
not receive any subsidy, but about ten of these still
do. This also is done according to priorities set by
the Convention.
A proposal to the Convention will be made this
year to decrease subsidies by 25% per year after the
fifth year, in order to increase incentive. The Con
vention has begun to take responsibility for its own
outreach by establishing a Cooperative Evangelism
Fund. By making small contributions from this fund
to Seinan and the hospital, the Convention is stating
its sense of relation to and responsibility for these
institutions.
D. Evangelical Lutheran Church of Japan. This
denomination is the result of the union in 1963 of
the Japan Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Tokai
Evangelical Lutheran Church. Associated with it are
the missionaries of the Lutheran Church in America,
the American Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Evan
gelical Association of Finland, the Denmark Mission
Society, the Christian Mission to Buddhists, and the
North German Mission Society. A seminary, several
schools, and also welfare institutions are connected
with the church.
New patterns of overseas-Japan relations are in the
process of development. In January of this year a
Committee for Cooperation was established which will
be roughly equivalent to the Council of Cooperation
PATTERNS o£ COOPERATION 2?5
of the United Church. A significant difference,
however, is that besides the church representatives,
the Committee will be composed of representatives
directly from the related boards who will come to
Japan for the meetings. Thus an even more direct
church-to-church relation is hoped for than obtains in
the United Church. Requests for personnel and funds
will be directed to the cooperating boards through
this Committee. It will assign missionaries to various
places of work. As in the case of the United Church,
missionaries hold membership both in their home
churches and in the Japanese church. They are
voting members of the Convention.
Approximately one third of the churches are fully
self-supporting. Others receive varying degrees of aid
from the church, much of this coming from abroad.
The only condition laid down for aid for building is
that the local congregation provide ten per cent.
II. Non-NC.C.-related
A. Japan Alliance Christian Church (The Evan
gelical Alliance Mission — TEAM) In this case the
mission and the church have the same legal holding
body, but mission and church operate on separate
parallel lines. The mission not only concerns itself
with matters having to do with missionaries them
selves, but it pursues an evangelistic program as a
mission, hiring evangelists, etc. The missionaries of
any locality are free to plan the work for their own
area, deciding upon the preaching points, but the
location of a missionary residence must be finally
approved by the mission. Missionaries usually do not
belong to churches in Japan, but there are some cases
of dual membership. As a rule, after a preaching
276 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
point has been well-established and is ready to become
independent, it elects to join the Alliance Church,
but this is optional and some remain independent.
There is in practice, of course, much consultation
between the church and mission in such matters as plac
ing missionaries or opening new work, but there is
no formal requirement.
It has been the policy of TEAM not to give national
churches financial aid, but to insist on self-support
from the start. This principle is held in common by
many of the conservative evangelical groups. In view
of actual circumstances, however, some few exceptions
have come to be admitted. Also, the mission has
provided the church with a loan fund for land and
building. It is administered wholly by the church.
The Alliance Church, as well as the other denomina
tions associated with conservative evangelical missions,
many of which have only a post-war history, has
shown increased growth and maturity during the past
six years.
B. Japan Christian Presbyterian Church. This is
one of the many very small groups which have de
veloped as the result of post-war conservative witness.
Born from the work of missionaries of the Evangeli
cal Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), it is now, in spite
of its short history and small numbers, an independent
Japanese church, with its own presbytery. Mission
aries are honorary members of the presbytery, and
serve on committees, but they have no vote. Here
again the policy is to encourage self-support, and the
mission does not buy land or build churches. It will
lend up to ten per cent of building costs to a church
which already has a program going. Most pastors
must supplement their income with outside work.
This is true, incidentally, for many pastors in all
PA'ITERNS OF COOPERATION 277
churches.
C. Others. Most of the conservative groups seem
to favor organizational separation from the correspond
ing Japanese church and emphasize self-support and
independence of the Japanese church. One exception
to the former rule is the Immanuel General Mission,
a Japanese church into which the Wesleyan Methodist
missionaries are completely integrated, and work under
the direction of national leadership. Many variations
in the latter policy are to be observed. Even the
groups favoring the most rigid self-support policy
often provide loan funds to be administered by the
denominations. Others will furnish the original land
and building as a loan to be repaid. One mission
gives the land as a grant, then lends money for
building. These practices reflect the extremely high
cost of land and the comparatively high cost of build
ing in present-day Japan.
Finally, some note should be taken of the Christian
groups which exist completely independent of any
overseas cooperation. Needless to say, the Non-church
group is one of these, though at least one leader has
taken part in ecumenical discussions (Prof. Goro
Maeda at Montreal in 1963) . Another is the Original
Gospel Movement, which, however, sponsored some
lectures in Japan by Dr. Otto Piper of Princeton
Seminary in 1963. A glance at the statistical chart
at the back of the book will show that one of the
largest Protestant churches in Japan is an indigenous
group which has no overseas aid or connections,
namely the Spirit of Jesus Church. It is a quasi-
Pentecostal group which holds that salvation is available
only to its own members.
It is obvious that this topic is worthy of a far more
comprehensive investigation. However, though the
278 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Japanese Pretestant Church includes at least eighty
denominations, with more than one hundred and fifty
mission societies, the number of churches and total mem
bership of the groups mentioned above constitute at
least 75% of the total Protestant constituency. Fur
thermore, neither time nor space permit the exhaustive
survey which the coverage of all groups requires.
(It has been observed by competent students of the
missionary enterprise, that there are at least three
stages in the evolution of Church and Mission relation
ships, i.e. : (1) the explorer or pioneer stage, when
the Mission is the Church ; (2) the colonial stage
when the autonomous Mission works alongside the
autonomous Church, though in cooperation with it ;
(3) the final stage when the Church becomes the
mission, with the missionary working in and through
the Church as it carries out its mission to the world.
The Protestant movement in Japan today is an epitome
of the various patterns of Church, Mission, and
Missionary cooperation which have developed here
during the past one hundred years. Edit.)
CHAPTER 9
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATIONS
Edited by Gordon Chapman
Although the following listed associations are not
all restricted to missionary participation, without ex
ception, they all involve a large degree of missionary
interest and activity. However, it is also true that
there are other missionary associations which promote
the fellowship, cooperation and Christian witness of
the participants. A good example is the association
of missionaries of the Interboard Committee for Chri
stian Work in Japan, which constitutes a fellowship
of about 400 workers of the seven foreign mission
agencies which cooperate with the United Church of
Christ in Japan. And the same may also be said of
other interdenominational missionary associations
which cooperate with Japanese denominations. All
these have similar aims and provide not only the
benefits envisioned by the Japan Council of Evangeli
cal Missions, but also a number of others.
In a real sense of the term, all these associations
are " ecumenical," in that there is the common purpose
of fostering good relations between all members of
the body of Christ. And doubtless all who participate
in these associations are glad to unite in the prayer
that " under the influence and guidance of the Holy
Spirit, the church will come into unity of the faith
and the knowledge of the Son of God unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."
The following articles on Missionary Associations
represent a good cross section of missionary thinking
in some of the more important areas of Christian
280 MISSION OF THE CHURCE
concern in Japan at this time.
1. THE FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN
MISSIONARIES
Lloyd Neve
Unlike most organizations, the Fellowship of Christ
ian Missionaries in Japan (FCM) appears to thrive
heartily on a small budget, and a simple organization.
Its purpose is "to promote fellowship, mutual under
standing, and the spirit of unity among the mission
aries comprising it ; and to provide an opportunity
for gatherings of an inspirational and educative
character." It has its historical roots in the Standing
Committee on Cooperating Missions formed in 1902,
succeeded by the Federation of Christian Missions in
1911, which became the present FCM of Japan in
1935. Membership at present is purely voluntary and
includes those missionaries who pay the annual dues
of 500 yen, generally collected at the time of the
annual conference.
The FCM exists almost entirely in the Annual
Conference, although both the Kansai and Kanto
regions hold mid-year meetings. True to its stated
purpose, the conference combines fellowship with
study and deepening of the spiritual life of the
participating missionaries.
Walter Baldwin (PCUS) served as President during
the year, 1962-3, Noah Brannen (ABFMS) as Vice-
president with Mary Lou Palmore (MC) the Secretary,
and Parker Anspach (LCA) the Treasurer. The
theme of the 1963 confrerence, held at Lake Nojiri,
July 31-August 2, was "The Gospel, the Culture and

You".
Henry Jones (UPC) gave a paper on the " Pattern
of Industrial Society in Japan" ; Junichiro Sako, well-
known novelist, gave one on " Christianity and Japan
ese Literature ; and Takaaki Aikawa, noted psychologist,
one on " The Christian Gospel and Japanese Men
tality." John Niemeyer (ABFMS) led the daily
Bible study hour.
A significant development in the FCM meeting was
the decision to make another attempt at a rapproche
ment with the Evanglical Missionary Association of
Japan, which, organized after the last war, split the
previously united missionary community into two
somewhat rival camps. It is hoped that an exchange
of fraternal delegates may serve in a small way to
further cooperation between these two groups. In
keeping with this spirit, it was decided to recommend
to the Shadan of the United Church of Canada the
transfer of the Karuizawa Union Church property,
long held in trust, to the Christian community in
Karuizawa. During the prewar years this had served
as the meeting place of the Federation of Christian
Missions and the F.C.M.
Officers serving 1963-4 are : Lloyd Neve (ALC) ,
President, Mrs. Joyce Wright (SB), Secretary, Fred
Honaman (PEC), Treasurer, and John Barksdale (P.
C.U.S), Vice-president. The conference, planned for
the I.C.U. campus in July, 1964, will include as a
speaker : Dr. Eugene Nida, Translation Secretary of
the American Bible Society. Another featured speaker
will be Dr. J.M.T. Winther (ALC), whose missionary
career in Japan overlaps, with some years to spare, the
history of the FCM and its predecessor bodies, and
who was present in 1902 when the Standing Com
mittee of the Cooperating Missions was formed. The
282 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
FCM also maintains its contact with the past in the
person of Dr. A. J. Stirewalt (ALC) , who has faith
fully served for many years as necrologist.
The FCM continues to be the sponsor of the
" Independent Journal of Christian Thought and Opin
ion", the Japan Christian Quarterly, edited by Miss
Esther Hibbard, through the publication committee
elected by the annual conference. Lief Salomonsen
(NMS), Douglas Swendseid (ALC), and Richard
Merritt (PEC) were elected to this committee in 1963.
The Quarterly has been somewhat successful in a
subscription drive, so that the magazine now has a
circulation of nearly 1000.
2. EVANGELICAL MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION
OF JAPAN
William Lautz
The Evangelical Missionary Association of Japan
(EMAJ) , founded in 1947, is an association of evan
gelical missionaries who come together for fellowship
and cooperation. Members must agree to the follow
ing doctrinal statement, regarded as basic and vital :
A. We believe the Bible, as originally given, to
be the verbally inspired, only infallible, authori
tative Word of God. II Tim. 3 : 16 ; II Peter.
1:21.
B. We believe there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Deut. 6:4; Is. 43 : 10, 11 ; I Tim. 2 : 5 ; I
Cor. 8:4; Matt. 28: 19.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life,
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION 283
in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning
death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand
of the Father, and in His personal return in
power and glory. Jn. 1:1 18 ; Heb. 1:8;
Tit. 2 : 13 ; I Jn. 5 : 20 ; I Cor. 15 : 3,4.
D. We believe that all men are sinners, and that
for the salvation of lost and sinful man, re
generation by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential. Rom. 3:23: Jn. 3:7; Luke 24 : 46,
47; Jn. 1:12,13; I Pet. 1 : 18,19,23 ; Rom.
10:9,10.
E. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy
Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a godly life. Tit. 3:5; Gal.
5:22,23; I Thess. 5:23,24.
F. We believe in the resurrection of both the
saved and the lost ; they that are saved unto
the resurrection of life and they that are lost
unto the resurrection of damnation (Jn. 6:28,
29; Rev. 14:11)
G. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 12 : 5 ; I Cor.
10:17; Gal. 3:28; Jn. 17:21; Eph. 4:13.
With this unity on essentials there is abundant
room for charity on nonessentials, and the member
ship, which is on an individual basis, comes from a
wide range of mission bodies.
An annual conference is held each summer in
Karuizawa. In 1963, this featured as speakers Dr.
Kurt Koch, German Lutheran minister, psychiatrist
and authority on demonism ; and Rev. Robertson
McQuilkin, TEAM missionary in Japan. Dr. T.
Stanley Soltau spoke at a banquet in Tokyo in June.
Two conferences on " Prayer and Revival " were held
284 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
in Karuizawa in March and May, led by Joseph
Carroll, EMAJ President. A Woman's Tea held at
the Sanno Hotel in Tokyo in April afforded missionary
women an opportunity to share with their Japanese
friends their love for Jesus Christ and a knowledge
of His salvation.
" The Awakening," a book dealing with revival in
China, was distributed free to EMAJ members.
A quarterly magazine, the " Japan Harvest," pro
vides a voice for EMAJ ; inspiration for missionaries
and information of value to them. An annual Mis
sionary Directory is also published.
With the newer Japan Council of Evangelical Mis
sions, EMAJ issued a call to three other organizations
to consider forming a loose alliance of evanglicals for
the purposes of fellowship in Christ, exchange of
information about activities, and presenting a united
evangelical front on the modern Japanese scene. The
Fukuin Renmei, Japan Protestant Council and the
Japan Bible Christian Council indicated their interest
in the proposal.
Officers of the Association for the first part of 1963
were Joseph Carroll (IND) President ; Frank Kong-
stein (NEOM) Vice-president ; William F. Lautz
(IND) Secretary ; L.E. Heil (JCG) Treasurer ; and the
following members-at-large : Harry Friesen (JMBM) ,
Robert Verme (CMSJ), and Donnel McLean (AG) .
Elections in the summer made Arthur T.F. Reynolds
(OMF) Vice-president; Wesley Wilson (TEAM)
Treasurer ; and Samuel Pfeifer (IND) and Neil Young
(IND) , members-at-large, replacing Verme and Mc
Lean.
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION
3. THE JAPAN BIBLE CHRISTIAN COUNCIL
Philip Foxwell
When the JBCC wrote Prime Minister Ikeda last year
urging that the government cancel its plan to sponsor
mokuto for the war dead, the organization was putting
into practise its concern for the constitutional pro
visions which call for a separation of church and
state. The JBCC continues as an organization pledged
to the support of policies which grow out of the
initial purpose. This was stated in 1950 to be "an
agency unequivocally opposed to all forms of unbelief,
idolatry, and compromise with them, and unreservedly
dedicated as a witness to the 'faith once for all de
livered unto the saints.' '
Soon to come from the press under JBCC sponsor
ship is a book dealing with the origins of Japanese
culture and their relationship to Christianity. Pro
fessor Tomonobu Yanagita has worked for several
years on research and writing and it is expected that
the early publication of this work will increase the
understanding of problems which are rooted in the
clash of culture with the Christian witness. This will
soon be available at most book-sellers after a con
siderable delay occasioned by worthwhile revisions.
In keen appreciation of the contribution of General
Douglas MacArthur to the missionary movement, the
JBCC sent the following cable : " Japan Missionaries
express sincere condolences passing great benefactor,
statesman, friend. Psalm 55:22"
When the visit of the Czech theologian, Dr. Josef
Hromadku, to Japan was projected, the JBCC con
sidered it in line with their policy to publish the
286 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
appraisal of Professor Matthew Spinka (Hartford
Theological Seminary) which offered evidence that
Dr. Hromodka is "communism's most effective agent
as it presses the cold war in the sphere of the Pro
testant church." The expression of opposition to
Hromadka is typical of the JBCC attitude toward any
influences deemed unhelpful to the upbuilding of a free
church sustained by a conservative theological position.
The publication termed "The Bible Times" is not
an organ of the JBCC. However the publishers of
the Bible Times are in sympathy with the aims and
policy of the JBCC. Therefore the activities of the
JBCC are usually publicized through the medium of
the BT. For example, mokuso (silent meditation)
as a substitute for mokuto, was proposed by the JBCC
and publicized in this paper. Because mokuto is
understood as a call to pray to or for the spirits of
the war dead the JBCC believed the action of the
Demobilization Department in calling for mokuto could
infringe on the guarantees of the constitution. Pro
blems of this nature which are dealt with by the
JBCC are usually given full coverage in the Bible
Times.
As previously stated : " The Council is not a church
and seeks to avoid over-lapping into activity considered
to be the basic responsibility of the church, such as
evangelism. An illustration sometimes used to illustrate
its function is that of the local community's fire de
partment. For much of the year the fire department
may scarcely be noticed. But when an emergency
arises it is organized and ready to act. The JBCC
is organized and ready to speak out whenever it feels
it must, when freedom is challenged or principle
compromised in the areas of faith or church and state."
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION
4. THE JAPAN PROTESTANT CONFERENCE
Takaoki Tokiwa. (John Schwab}
The year of 1959, the 100th year of Protestant
Missions in Japan, was commemorated hy various pro
jects in the Christian world. Among such projects,
those who believe in the Bible as a completely God-
inspired Book started a movement called the Japan
Protestant Centennial. This movement was supported
by more than one thousand Japanese pastors and some
800 missionaries, who participated as individuals, irre
spective of their denominational affiliation. This un
pretentious work contributed substantially to the
Christian testimony here. The reason for starting
this movement was, firstly, because we believe that
Protestantism is Christianity based on the Bible. The
reformer's work, which was Bible-based, contributed
to the foundation of modern Christian civilization.
Just as the Bible was the source of their strength, so we
too wanted to strengthen ourselves by following in
their way. Secondly, it seems that more and more
Protestant Christians have come to reject the complete
inspiration of the Bible, thus weakening the effect
of blessing and the warning of our living God. We
wanted to awaken people, especially professing Chri
stians, to this grave fact. We thank the Lord that this
work was carried through with His abundant blessing.
In the Central Committee Meeting of J.P.C. held
in November of the same year in Atami, a proposition
was made to form a " permanent organization " to
continue the work of Bible-faith propagation into the
2nd century. This was agreed upon and a preparatory
committee was organized. About 90 people (including
288 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
missionaries) joined in this renewed venture from all
over the country. Then in February of the next year
some 40 representatives met together, and the new
Japan Protestant Conference (J.P.C.) was organized.
Its purposes are : 1) To spread Bible faith throughout
Japan. 2) To stand against the traditional Japanese
religion, Shinto, which does not harmonize with Bible
faith. This will be done through studying and coping
with the problems of the Shinto shrines in a practical
way. 3) Revision of the colloquial Japanese Bible. 4)
Promotion of Bible-based education. Besides these,
special committees for overseas mission, encouraging
laymen's movements, etc. were elected.
Though difficult here in Japan, all of the above-
mentioned efforts are important, and with the help
of the Lord and through the earnest cooperation of
each committee member the project of spreading Bible-
faith is being carried out by many meetings held every
year in various places, and the study of shrine
problems is making progress. Also, members of
J.P.C. are sharing in the translation project in pre
paration for the publication of the " New Japanese
Bible," with John already available. As to the foreign
missions field, lectures have been given in order that
more people may know about this need and respond.
The 4th " Zenkoku Kyogi Kai " of the JPC was
held at Atami, February 19-20, 1963, when the chief
speakers were a converted Communist, a converted
Shinto priest and a converted Roman Catholic priest.
A ' ' Church Problems Seminar ' ' for pastors and
missionaries was held at Tokyo, June 18-19, 1963
with two addresses by Minoru Okada on the " Evalua
tion of Unorthodox Views of the Bible", one by
Tsugio Tsutada on " Problems of Evangelical Faith
in Japan," and one by Takaoki Tokiwa on " How
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION 289
we got our Infallible Bible." There were also panel
discussions of such subjects as " Bible Faith and
Church Life," and " Bible Faith and Idolatrous
Customs."
The semi-annual conference on November 11-12,
1963' heard an address by Donald Moke on " Recent
Developments and Trends in the World Ecumenical
Scene", and one by Satoru Moriyama on "How to
Minister to Members of Soka Gakkai."
At the 5th " Nenkoku Kyogi Kai " (Nationwide
Administrative Committee) at Atami in February,
1964, a report on last year's activities was made and
new directions were established. Fervent prayer and
serious discussions were given to pursue the original
aim of Bible-faith cooperation. According to the report
at this meeting, the number of members is now 739
(547 Japanese and 192 missionaries) . Though not a
large number, each one is firmly standing on his faith
in God's Word, as the 300 warriors of Gideon.
Recently the ecumenical movement has become ac
tive among the churches. We think it is a good
thing to unite different churches who are standing
together in faith in Jesus Christ who is revealed in
God's infallible written Word. Thus we cannot agree
with narrow sectarianism. However, union and co
operation without a clearly delineated Biblical doctrinal
basis is dangerous and could only lead to confusion.
There can be true spiritual unity only among those
whose faith is in God's infallible Word.
Furthermore, it is impossible to fight the evils of
the world and conquer without the use of the Word of
God — the Bible (Ephes. 6 : 17) . But, in order to use
the Word of God effectively, we must constantly pray
and train ourselves so that we can make His Word
our own. The weakness of the Japanese people today
290 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
is that they have lost their goal of life. As nationals,
we want to be given something for which to live
based upon the truth of God, which is revealed in
the Bible, God's infallible Word.
5. THE REFORMED THEOLOGICAL
CONFERENCE
John Hesselink
The Reformed Theological Conference was organized
first of all with the idea of providing an opportunity
for missionaries and pastors of various Presbyterian-
Reformed denominations to meet together, explore
their common heritage and relate it to their witness
in Japan. This purpose has been fully accomplished
in that representatives of at least six Presbyterian and
Reformed denominations participate in this conference.
Nowhere else in the world is a similar confrontation
taking place.
It was also hoped, however, that others from dif
ferent backgrounds would share in this theological
enterprise. This goal also has met with surprising
success. The first chairman was an Anglican. At
the 1964 conference over half of the participants were
from non-Presbyterian-Reformed denominations ! The
conference, moreover, has quite an international charac
ter. Eight nations were represented at the most
recent gathering.
The first conference was held in 1957 at the Osaka
Christian Center which has been the site for all
subsequent conferences. Speakers have included dis
tinguished guests from abroad such as John Mackay,
John Wick Bowman and Henry Stob, but most of
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION 291
the lecturers have been Japanese theologians and local
missionaries. The theme of the 1963 Conference was
" The Inspiration and Authority of the Scriptures.
The theme of the 1964 conference was " The Holy
Spirit in the Church." The theme for 1965 is
" Christian Devotion."
6. THE HAYAMA MISSIONARY SEMINAR
Gordon Chapman
One of the most significant features of the postwar
Christian movement in Japan is the proliferation of
mission societies. The number of missionaries has
more than doubled, while the number of missions
has increased fourfold. Furthermore, unlike the pre
war period, there is no all-inclusive missionary associa
tion which facilitates effective dialogue between in
dividual workers. This is in spite of the fact that
all who have responded to Christ's call are essentially
one in Him and partake of the unity of the Holy
Spirit.
In response to this need for more effective mission
ary dialogue concerning vital matters of mutual con
cern, the Missionary Seminar was inaugurated in
January 1960, and has annual sessions at the Lacy-
kan, Hayama, Kanagawa-Ken. Though the Seminar
is quite informal and has no official auspices, it has
been well attended with participants coming from a
large number of mission groups. The constituency
includes all those who have attended past Seminars
and any other missionary men who are interested. The
fellowship of the Holy Spirit and the manifest presence
of the Lord has encouraged mutual sharing of problems
292 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
pand shortcomings, with consequent renewal and bles
sing to many.
Each Seminar has considered a particular theme
which has special relevance for the Christian Move
ment in Japan. Thus far, these have included : Our
Ministry of Reconciliation (2 Cor. 5 : 18) ; The
Missionary and the Japanese Church (Phil. 2:5);
An Apologetic for Christian Witness in Japan (2
Cor. 5 : 17) ; Christian Discipleship in Japan (John
13 : 34, 35 ; Luke 9 : 23) and the Communication of
the Gospel in Japan (Mk. 16:15; Mt. 28:19, 20).
Each theme is developed through a series of well
prepared papers and followed by open and free discus
sion periods. There has always been a very generous
and candid sharing of various points of view, with
the result that all have been greatly helped and in
spired for a more effective ministry. An extended
period is set aside each day for group Bible study,
with morning and evening sessions for united prayer.
Time is also provided for Special Interest Groups
where particular problems can be dealt with in effec
tive fashion.
The Seminar Papers, together with the Special
Interest Group Findings, are published annually and
are availiable at moderate cost as long as the supply
lasts.
The next Seminar is scheduled for January 5-7,
1965 at the Lacy-Kan, Hayama. The theme for con
sideration will be " The Layman in the Life of the
Japanese Church." The Seminar Committee includes :
Joe Gooden, Chairman, Raymond Hammer and Carl
Beck.
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION 293
JAPAN COUNCIL OF EVANGELICAL MISSIONS
A. Paul McGarvey
The roots of the Japan Council of Evangelical Mis
sions (JCEM) can be traced back several years. The
justification for such an organization became more and
more apparent to evangelical mission leaders as they
met from time to time to discuss and plan for work
in areas of mutual interest. It became quite apparent
that the evangelical missions in Japan could greatly
strengthen their work if some sort of organization
was perfected whereby their liaison with each other
could be facilitated and carried on regularly. There
fore a Constitution was drawn up, that, in part, says :
*' ---we recognize the necessity of providing for
cooperative action and a united voice as evangelical
missions- --to provide liaison, representation and co
operative action as may be deemed feasible within
the stipulations of this Constitution- ••'
The first Plenary session of JCEM was held in
Tokyo in the Spring of 1961, and since that time
the organization has grown until it now has a total
membership of twenty-eight missions, which represent
a total of nearly five hundred missionaries. The
missions vary in size from seventy missionaries to four
missionaries. Voting privileges and membership fees
are in proportion to the number of active missionaries
in Japan.
This was a new venture in cooperative action among
evangelical missions, when each group actively sought
to look for and work together in areas that in some
cases had not been thought of before. There was
some apprehension at first, but over these few past
294 MISSION OF THE CHURCH
months, there has developed rapidly an appreciation
for the viewpoint of the various members, and a re
markable desire to make modifications without com
promising individual principles. There is now an
ever increasing confidence in each other among mem
bers, that is producing some remarkable achievements.
Thus far JCEM has appointed working Committees
in the fields of Christian Education of church and
Christian workers in Japan, Legal affairs (such as
representation to the Japanese government in Income
Tax matters) , Disaster Relief work, travel of mission
aries to and from Japan and a New Projects committee
which has spearheaded the effort to bring to Japan
a clear evangelical Christian testimony during and
immediately after the Olympic Games in Tokyo in
1964.
In the first mentioned area of work, the JCEM
Christian Education Committee called together for
the first time, the School leaders from several Theologi
cal and Bible College institutions. As a result of this
gathering everyone was encouraged to push on with
the idea of an organization for Theological training
schools in Japan. The final outcome of this movement
was the launching of the JAPAN ASSOCIATION
OF EVANGELICAL SCHOOLS in May of 1963.
Already this association has rendered some valuable
assistance to its members and associate schools.
It was the privilege of the JCEM legal affairs
Committee to arrange for a meeting with the head
of the Japanese Income Tax Bureau in the spring of
1963, at which time the Cabinet Minister announced
that foreign residents in Japan would be relieved of
the twenty percent gross income tax in the near future.*
* (Actually this took effect in January 1963 and there has been
no such tax since that time. Edit.)
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION 295
This followed considerable ground work with govern
ment leaders in the native country of some foreign
missionaries in Japan.
In the area of Disaster Relief, under the expert
hands of experienced relief workers, a short " Disaster
Relief Manual " (of the how-to-do-it variety) has been
completed and circulated among members and available
to all who request them. Believing that " a stitch in
time saves nine" the JCEM has divided the entire
area of Japan into eight sections with a Chairman
over each section. JCEM has made available a modest
amount of money for immediate use in disaster areas,
which will be administered by these area chairmen.
Scores of missionaries within the past two years
have enjoyed unprecedented travel opportunities be
cause of the charter flights arranged by the JCEM
travel committee. At a price averaging about three
hundred seventy five dollars, missionaries and their
families have been flown from Tokyo to London with
stopovers in Hongkong, the Holy Land, Rome and
other Eurpean centers This current year three such
flights are leaving Tokyo in the early summer and
one to the States.
The Olympic Christian Testimony committee which
is now actively arranging for coordinated evangelism
in Tokyo during the Olympic Games period, grew
out of the initial interest displayed in JCEM among
its members, and the first meeting of mission and
Japanese Christian leaders to consider such evangelical
efforts.
In these practical ways JCEM has sought to serve
not just its members but the entire Christian mission
ary program in this land. Representing missions on
a responsible level it has resources and the advantage
of mature counsel from a wide circle. The years
2% MISSION OF THE CHURCH
activities usually climax with a day-long Strategy
Conference, open to all who care to attend. In these
conferences such critical problems as : Nationalism
and Contemporary Missions, Evangelical Ecumenism,
etc. are discussed. In these special meetings such
visiting dignitaries as Dr. M.C. Tenny of the Wheaton
College Graduate School, and Dr. Peters of Dallas
Theological Seminary have led the discussions and
lectured the group.
Pressure of persistent needs, heightening world ten
sions, antagonism of unsympathetic movements, and
the admonition of God's Word itself have motivated
the activities of JCEM. Until the harvest day is past
and our work on earth is done, we invite the workers
of Japan to cooperate with us on the Bible basis.

What's in a furoshiki?
A furoshiki (pronounced foo-rosh ki) is
the traditional Japanese carry-all. It's
likely to hold just about anything. Now,
if you're interested in knowing what that
"anything" might be and why it was put
there, you'd better talk to the people who
conduct the most extensive and intensive
motivational research in Japan.
These people wortc at Dentsu, by far
the largest advertising agency in Japan
and fifth largest in the world. The Dentsu
findings are based on consumer panel
studies, marketing surveys, media ana
lysis, and all sorts of pertinent advertis-
Jng statistics. In short, Dentsu's research
department does everything possible to
find out as much as possible about the
consumer's buying habits.
Then and only then can you expect to
devise the kind of marketing strategy you
must have if you're going to sell in a
market that's quite unlike any other
market in the world.
So if one day you expect to find your
product in a furoshiki, a few words to
the wise from Dentsu can get the busi
ness wrapped up quicker. Address
inquiries to: Haruo Yoneda, Director,
International Advertising Dept., Dentsu
Advertising Ltd., Nishi-Ginza, Tokyo.
