Dear Friends and Students
I would like to restart this Blog
with the idea that you should write
It is much better to write on your everyday experiencereceived a call and continue his study.

Today I met a professor of Christian Culture,
Professor Takeda at Aoyama U.
It was interesting and refreshing to listen to his conversation.
He is a graduate of ICU and became Roman Catholic by being baptized in
Sankenjaya Catholic Church instead of Protestant of ICU.  He later went to Kyoto U.
and Oxford. He is expert in Christian history and philosophy.
He is a lay member of Franciscan Friary. I did not know such thing existed.
Franciscan is extremely known for poverty. They live like beggars without owning anything
but the monasteries are erected in the middle of cities. This is by their choice.
I find out the wealthiest person in this earth is one who can refuse worldly materials and
live without attachment to it.
