I wrote an article for Christianity Today about the work about the triple disaster in Fukushima, 'Redeeming Disaster in Japan' (click here to read).
It's about lessons we can learn from Japan with the question of what authentic Christian response might look like when there is a local church present in the midst of such an unprecedented disaster. Three important lessons we forgot in the professional relief work: Spirituality, Story and Sustainability.
It's been good to hear fresh response to the already-forgotten-tragedy only after 2 years and a few months. It is now time to think seriously about the long term rehabilitation and sustainability.
