Reverend mom gives a good name to activism

[Hachiko]

Quite how the Rev. Claudia Genung (a surname of French Hugenot origin) fits everything into 24 hours is beyond all understanding.


The Rev. Claudia Genung is drumming up support for a rally this Monday against the SDF dispatch to Iraq and changing Japan's peace Constitution.

Building on her role as pastor of West Tokyo Union Church in Mitaka, she is a prolific e-mailer, passing on last week the letter of "gratitude and solidarity" that her husband, the Rev. Toshi Yamamoto (general secretary of the National Christian Council in Japan), drafted from the Interfaith Peace Network in Japan to the Islamic Clerics Association in Iraq.
