Bible Note: Dear Emmaus, Greetings in Jesus' name! Yes, 'Brother' Emmaus, it has been a while. ;-) Please accept my apology if I was rude about 'a major religion.' Please know that I hold you and your faith in Christ Jesus in the highest regard! I look forward to hearing from you about the title 'Father.' While I am saying that, let me also say that I have spoken at length with priests and brothers and long-time faithful Catholics, but never have I had the pleasure of real fellowship in Christ Jesus and the Bible until I met you here. You are a credit to your church. (I hope I didn't make you blush! :-)) With your permission, let me tell you some further experiences with 'titles' in Japan. Christians are rare here, and Christian ministers more rare. Most Japanese have never met a minister of the Gospel, and only seen them on TV, usually some 'gaijin' (foreigner) ackowledging wedding vows in a cheesy soap opera! Most of these TV directors have no clue what a Christian (of ANY persuasion) is, so invariably the minister is dressed in papal robes and regalia, and is called 'Fah-zah' (Father). Therefore, when introduced to people, I am always called 'Fah-zah' or 'Shimpu-sama' (exalted Priest). I've known some people for years, and they still call me 'Fah-zah!' :-) Whatever! As long as I have some respect in their eyes, and (susequently) an opportunity to share the Gospel, I am blessed! Peace and joy to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
