Blog Sunday

I went to St. Andrew's Cathedral on Saturday for the Anglican commemorating 130th yea.

I heard they are Anglican, Church of England, and surprisingly very influential group called Episcopal Church in the USA. I was told by many I fit this group not the Religious Organization of Friends. So I was curious and attended their Sunday in Christ Church Yamate, both English and Japanese and the cathedral on Saturday.

I found out they are very closed group and the new comers had a hard time befriending them.

Buddhism in Japan is obliged membership and for many years you had to have your temple or you can not even die.

Christians were persecuted for hundred of years and spread among the Samurai classes of the eastern Japan. So they carry arrogant silent way of running their churches.  Anglicans or Seikeokai in Japanese is the best among the arrogant Japanese Christian carrying the English class arrogance. They claim they are Protestants with the Catholic rituals, mixed of the two.

I think I belong to the Religious Organization of Friends, Zen-Christian, very liberal group and the most democratic group. 

Whatever it is , it is the matter of our Inner Voice.
