In this week’s episode, SuperLutheran and Myles discuss the present state of Christianity in the Land of ninjas, samurai, rice, and anime: Japan. We talk about the state of believers generally, how Christianity interacts with Japan as a whole, and the future and past of a Christian Japan. Emails as usual in the second half.
