WORLD WARS,
TOYOHIKO KAGAWA WAS
ALREADY OFTEN MENTIONED
TOGETHER WITH MAHATMA GANDHI &
ALBERT SCHWEITZER AS A MODEL OF HOW
TO BLEND PRAYER/MEDITATION, PERSONAL CARING AND SOCIAL ACTION!
His conviction that the socalled redeeming love of Christ On The Cross should not be merely
admired but imitated took him to the worst slums of Japan, but also into the emperor´s palace.
He personally took care of the poor, from the starving babies to dying elders? He established settlement houses, worked for the formation of labor unions and peasant unions, carried on evangelistic campaigns, and served on various national relief committees...
Despite health problems that left him nearly blind
TOKA wrote more than 100 books. Many of them were best-sellers in
Japan & popular in English Translations as well! In addition to writings on theology
and a christian way of living, he published economic studies and several novels and
collections of poetry.TK´s popularity in the USA was hurt by anti-Japanese sentiment during WWII. During the Cold War some Ame-ricans viewed his Christian socialism as too close to communism [though Kagawa regularly denponced Marxism]. Today he is nearly forgotten in the US.
He often stated that his evangelistic goal was to have a million Christians in Japan.
Now there are more
than the estimated 1.000.000?!!
Hoe dan ook: het blijft boeiend om ´t mensdom te blijven
volgen in al onze ups & downs door de eeuwen & millennia heen. De grote kunst blijft
het om onze fouten uit het verleden niet eindeloos te blijven herhalen door haat
tegen de vreemdelingen & bijna totale onbekendheid met elkaar en onze geschiedenis!?
Wat ouwe Mor het meest verbaast zijn m´n dromen. Herinneringen aan driekwart eeuw belevenissen, invloeden, ervaringen en het nieuws van de dag. Elke dag, week, maand blijven die ontdekkingen terugkeren: huis, tuin, keuken, buurt en straat zijn veranderd, hele nieuwe wijken, dorpen, steden, platte- & verre landen komen nu ¨dichterbij¨. De grootste vrees betreft gekke big Brothers
& Sisters met abc-knopjes. Evil minds & spirits vol Armageddon/bullshit: creating
de dangerous depressieve economismes van hun overpopulatie,
overproductie, vervuiling, hopeloosheid AND Global Hate
ALL The Time Everywhere for Everyone?
Poetin, Trump, Erdogan, Duterte,
Schicklgrubers/Stalins.
