We - the Bishop of Tokyo and his accompanying 11 members - visited the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem for 10 days from 3 February, 2004. The Council of Justice and Peace under the diocese of Tokyo, which worked on this visit programme, wanted to make it clear that the primary purpose of this visit was an attempt to share the mission and ministries of the Churches and Christians who seek justice and peace in this particular region, as the root causes of major conflicts of the present world seem to emanate from here.

(CEN) The Anglican Church in Japan has voted to ordain women to the priesthood. The previous vote on the issue took place in 1996 when the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, the Holy Catholic Church in Japan, narrowly rejected the call for women to the priesthood. But a vote recently achieved the two-thirds majority necessary. There are now more than 50 per cent of Anglican Provinces which allow women's ordination.
