- Abstract
- The author, who pastors a small Japanese church in Gunma Prefecture, preached a series of sermons dealing with the matters of ancestors and idolatry. and distributed a questionnaire on the topic among 25 congregations of the same denomination. The results indicated that the topic doesn't get dealt with enough in many congregations, that parishioners are generally unhappy with the church's handling of the matter and that when the church does deal with it, it is greatly appreciated in the pews. The author also found that Japanese Christians have formulated their own theology of ancestors apart from the official teachings of the church.
