I recommend the JMJ Summer issue.
Pope Leo XIV, in his first "Urbi et Orbi" addressed the city and the world, paid tribute to the inclusive spirit of his predecessor, Pope Francis, and emphasized the Church's mission to build bridges and dialogues. The Pope has made it clear that he advocates for world peace and maintains the broad impetus of the late Pope Francis' pontificate. People expect that Pope Leo will carry on and continue the legacy of his predecessor. The attitude of both popes is rooted in the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, as recalled in the first essay of the summer issue of The Japan Mission Journal. In the three essays that follow, the topic of religion and the path to God is discussed, including a dialogue with the Shinto Lord about the essence of Shintoism. I recommend the JMJ Summer issue for your information, the review of the Vatican II, the Synod, and religious pluralism.

　JMJ夏号をお勧めします。
　教皇レオ14世は、都市と世界に向けた最初の「Urbi et Orbi」で、前任者である教皇フランシスコの包括的な精神に敬意を表し、橋と対話を築く教会の使命を強調しました。教皇様は、世界の平和を提唱し、故教皇フランシスコの教皇職の広範な推進力を維持することを明確に示しました。教皇フランシスコの遺産が新教皇によって引き継がれるとは言え、両者の態度は第二バチカン公会議の教えに根ざしていることが、The Japan Mission Journalの本号の最初のエッセイで思い出されます。続きの3つのエッセイでは、神道の本質についての神主との対話を含む、宗教と神への道のトピックについて議論されています。第二バチカン公会議やシノドス、宗教的多元性などを研究するためにJMJ夏号をお勧めします。

Published four times a year, JMJ features:

● In-depth analysis of Japan's socio-cultural and religious situation from a Christian perspective.
● Articles by Japanese and non-Japanese Church workers and scholars.
● Book reviews of Japanese and world-wide publications relevant to the apostolate.

JMJ presents easy-to-read, down-to-earth reports on Christian education, liturgy, ecumenism, catechetics, important Church documents, and literary and interreligious topics.

In the past, JMJ has helped pioneer cross-cultural discussion on crucial topics, such as ancestor veneration, Zen meditation, the meaning and role of Shinto customs, the writings of Endo Shusaku and other Christian authors, and the like.
Having entered the third millennium, JMJ focuses on the specific problems the Church is facing today, particularly in the Asian context of the triple dialogue with cultures, with other religious traditions, and with the immense multitude of the poor.

JMJ is a useful tool for both libraries and personal reference.
