Japanese women dressed in kimono waltz around the 'tomb
of Jesus Christ' during a memorial service in Shingo, a village
in northern Japan, on Sunday June 5, 2005. The memorial
service, in its 42nd edition, started solemnly with a Shinto
priest praying and offering a branch of sacred trees. The
village's lore claims Jesus Christ died there and buried in the
mound-shaped tomb.

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.
