KIC Welcomes New Staff Member!
Mr. Takuya Fujimoto (Konko Church of Akabane, Tokyo) was appointed as a new KIC staff member on March 1. He described his aspiration as follows,
I was introduced to the Konko Faith when I was a student of religious studies in graduate school.
I am grateful for Kami’s wondrous guidance in helping me realize Tenchi Kane No Kami in the midst of researching countless religions.
This year marks 10 years since I became Konkokyo believer, and by divine arrangement, I now have the opportunity to work at Konkokyo International Center.
I am sure that I will learn a lot from the vast “experiences of others” recorded in the 20 years of KIC activities.
I have the expectation that my appreciation of Konkokyo will be inspired and that my faith in Tenchi Kane No Kami will be renewed day by day through working here.
Thank you!
