How Do I Love My Country, Japan?
(Watashi no "Aikokushin")
Various authors
Fourteen authors discuss how they express their love for Japan as Christians who don't want their country to return to the militaristic nationalism of the past when the term "Aikokushin" (love of country) was used to inspire chauvinistic patriotism. Instead they love God first and then love their country and want the best for it. They discuss how that plays out in light of issues like their attitudes toward the national anthem and flag. Articles collected from THE CHRISTIAN Newspaper (weekly, published by WLPM). 21st Century Booklet Series #33. A5 size, 80 pp.
