Nagasaki
Yesterday was the 58th Anniversary of the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki. The largest Catholic Church in Asia at the time was used as the target.
Nagasaki has the less famous but better of the world's two Atomic Bomb museums, both of which I have had the opportunity to visit. It describes in greater detail the context of Japanese militarism leading up to WWII. It also pays homage to the 10,000 Korean victims who died, and describes the discrimination Koreans faced (and face) living in Japan.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
