New Series


 

Join us for a new 6-part sermon series starting in September.

Japanese culture does not have a history of hostility towards same-sex marriage, homosexuality or sexual freedom. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is banned in the Japanese capital. Tokyo Rainbow Pride is a parade that has been held annually since 2012, with attendance increasing every year. Various opinion polls have found high levels of support for same-sex marriage amongst the younger generation in Japan. However, a 2020 survey of more than 10,000 LGBT people within Japan found that 38 percent had been harassed or assaulted.

As Christians, we know God has a viewpoint concerning these things. But too often we, the church, judge from a distance without knowing how to come alongside.

  • How do we make sense of marriage, sex and gender within Japanese culture?

  • Should we simply embrace what is widely accepted?
