The Kakure Kirishtan [catholiceducation.org] - I thought that I had read something, at sometime, about every obscure Christian community, particularly those which originated with the Catholics or Orthodox - but this one I missed.

Prayers for the remnants of this lost body of faithful, who tried, in their own way and as best they could, to preserve the faith adopted by their ancestors. May their memories be eternal.

Many years,

Neil

Neill,

I would love to show the referenced film to my Church history class. I could not find the source. I clicked on the link to the Hawaiian jounal at the bottom of the page but I couldn't link to it.

Do you know how I might get information on acquiring a copy of that film?

A wonderful article. A friend's daughter is working as a translator in southern Japan, and I forwarded the article to her mother. It will be of special interest to them.

Dan,

This appears to be the distributor for it

Otaiya: Japan\'s Hidden Christians [der.org]

Note that the consumer purchase is significantly less than the institutional.

Many years,

Neil

Another article on the group, whom I probably should have termed Crypto-, rather than Lost:

Keeping the Faith [www2.gol.com]
